What terminal is Kenya Airways at JFK?

Kenya Airways uses Terminal 4 at JFK Airport. Flight numbers starting with KQ depart from Terminal 4, which has 48 gates. Kenya Airways is a SkyTeam member, so partner check-in desks and lounges in Terminal 4 follow the alliance. Terminal assignments shift during the New Terminal One rebuild, so the live board is the tiebreaker on the day. Arrivals work slightly differently to departures.

Which terminal does Kenya Airways arrive at JFK?

Kenya Airways arrives at Terminal 4, the same terminal it departs from. Meeting someone off a flight means heading to Terminal 4 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 Kenya Airways arrivals board and leave for the airport once it has actually landed. Left something on board? That goes to Kenya Airways, 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 Kenya Airways passengers at JFK?

Terminal 4 has lounges, including at least one in the Priority Pass network, so Kenya Airways passengers have a route in via a business or first class ticket, airline status, a credit card with lounge access, a Priority Pass membership, or a paid day pass where one is sold. Which of those actually opens a door is the part most guides skip: which JFK lounges you can actually get into.
