Alaska Airlines to operate flights from Terminal 8 at JFK Airport

Alaska Airlines has announced operational changes at New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Starting March 30, flights AS41 from San Francisco International Airport and AS24 from San Diego International Airport will now operate out of Terminal 8. "Check in and drop your bags at the T8 Alaska counter, then go through security to reach your gate. First Class guests on flights departing from Terminal 8 are welcome in the Admirals Club," stated Alaska Airlines, providing additional information about the updated process.

For parking, the Terminal 7 lot will be reserved for Premium and ADA parking, while non-ADA or non-Premium travelers departing from Terminal 7 will use the Terminal 8 lot and take the AirTrain back to Terminal 7. The Terminal 8 ticket counter for Alaska Airlines will operate daily from 13:15 to 16:30. Although CLEAR, Clear Plus, and a children's area will not be available, passengers can access TSA PreCheck and Global Entry, as well as a partner lounge.

Aside from Alaska Airlines, Terminal 8 at JFK services carriers such as American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, and others, most of which are part of the oneworld alliance, including Alaska Airlines. China Southern Airlines operates out of Terminal 8 but is not affiliated with any airline alliance. Meanwhile, Hawaiian Airlines, now acquired by Alaska Airlines, continues to operate from Terminal 4.
