Terminal 7 covers 12 gates. You clear security right there, so check today's live JFK wait before you leave.

Wayfinding diagram for finding your gate inside a terminal, following overhead signs from security through the concourse.
Finding your gate: past security, follow the overhead signs by gate number and concourse rather than the terminal name alone.

Heads up: Terminal 7 is still operating in mid-2026 but winding down: its former Oneworld carriers — Alaska, British Airways, and Iberia — have moved to Terminal 8, and the building is slated for demolition once the new Terminal 6 finishes its first phase. Confirm your terminal with your airline before you travel.
