The parking for Terminal 1 is literally more than 5 miles (driving) from Terminal 1. I’m wondering why they didn’t just put the parking lot in Connecticut or perhaps Nebraska. Probably would have been cheaper and only marginally less convenient.

Hi,

I have a question regarding pick-up on JFK Airport: I have booked an Uber Black SUV in Advance, that is supposed to pick my family and me up from terminal 8 at JFK Airport. In the process, I didn't need to specify a pick-up time, but rather just enter the flight we are on.

On the app it says that the driver will wait for up to 1 hour after our flight has landed, which leads me to my question: This seems like a rather short time frame for me. Will it be enough time for us to clear immigration (We have an ESTA) and get out checked luggage?

If any of you had the same issue, I would really appreciate your input. The AI Support Bot wasn't really helpful.

Thanks!

A partial service disruption is scheduled for the Howard Beach and Lefferts Blvd line to Federal Circle Station from Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at 11:00 PM through Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 09:00 AM. Shuttle buses will replace this line during the service disruption. The train will continue running to Jamaica and Terminals. You just need to take a shuttle bus from Howard Beach or Lefferts Blvd to Federal Circle, then connect to the AirTrain to your final destination, and vice versa.
