Egyptair arrives at Terminal 1, the same terminal it departs from. Meeting someone off a flight means heading to Terminal 1 arrivals rather than the departures level, and international arrivals take longer than the landing time suggests because passengers clear immigration and baggage first. Track the inbound flight on the live Egyptair arrivals board and leave for the airport once it has actually landed. Left something on board? That goes to Egyptair, not the airport; the JFK lost and found guide routes it. If you are the one flying out instead, the next question is usually about the lounge.

Is there a lounge for Egyptair passengers at JFK?
