Important Update: JFK Terminal 4 Pickups Temporarily Moving to Lot 66 (October 2025)
If you’re flying into John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) this week, there’s an important update you’ll need to know.
Starting Monday, October 6, 2025, all For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) pickups — including VIP Connection — will temporarily move to Lot 66 Ride App and Car Services Pick-Up Area due to high-priority utility work at Terminal 4.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has announced a 96-hour closure of the outer arrivals frontage at Terminal 4. During this period, no curbside pickups will be permitted.
🚫 No Curbside Pickups at Terminal 4
What This Means for Passengers ?
Chauffeurs will not be allowed to meet passengers curbside outside Terminal 4. Instead, all passengers must head to Lot 66, where their VIP Connection chauffeur will meet them.

-
Follow airport signs for “Ride App / Car Services Pick-Up Shuttle.”
