Reply to comment by Pair-Up-by-Threes in JFK Terminal 8 pick-up by Pair-Up-by-Threes

The Uber can drop you off at arrivals too.. Tell them you are there to meet someone arriving. If its international it can take 30mins for train to taxi and deboard so don't get despearete. Alos don't get desperate if the cell signal is spotty. Arrivals are usually on bottom and departures on top. There is usally stairs and escalators if you need to switch. Ive picked up my kids from JFK about a dozen times over the years. Don't get too worked up. Make sure you phone is fully charged and ask your kids to charge their phone too in flight if possible

Super helpful, thanks—this Is what I wanted to do, but there is no way to program arrivals for your drop-off spot on Uber.

Arrivals is the floor above or below departures. I can’t remember which is which, but either way you can access it by stairs, escalator, or elevator.

Without a boarding pass, yes?

You won’t be able to get to the gate, but you’ll be allowed in the non-secure part of the building.
