To celebrate Carnival, customers were treated to a drum performance and special gifts in partnership with Caribbean Airlines

Queens, New York – February 21, 2020 JFKIAT, the operator of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, recently hosted a special Carnival event for customers traveling through the terminal. During the event, recording artist and composer Kareem Thompson delighted passengers with a steel drum performance in the Arrivals Hall. Customers flying with Caribbean Airlines were offered special gift bags which included travel mugs and rally towels. Additionally, passengers were given postcards on the flight, inviting them to share pictures of their Carnival celebrations on social media.

T4 is a work of art. Really! You’ll find our private collection of world-class paintings, sculptures, and mobiles on display throughout the terminal.

Be Travel-Ready: Plan for a Stress-Free Trip to T4!

Due to construction at JFK, the roadways leading to Terminal 4 may be congested. We highly recommend that our guests allow themselves some extra time to reach the terminal and, whenever possible, use public transportation within the subway system through Howard Beach or LIRR at Jamaica, then use AirTrain JFK.

From there, your ride will be 10 or 15 minutes to the terminal.

Taxis and shared rides from T4 will operate from the Remote Ride App & Car Services Lot, accessible via a free shuttle bus in front of the Arrivals Hall running every 1-2 minutes. Please avoid going with anyone you have not pre-arranged a ride with.
