JFK Airport Terminals

As you can see on the JFK Airport map above, the airport is shaped like a rectangle, with a spaghetti junction of highways on the interior linking I-678 and the JFK Expressway to the five terminals.

You'll also notice that the map of JFK Airport shows a Terminal 8 despite there being only six terminals in total. That's because only Terminals 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 are still operational.
