Humans of T4 November 12, 2019

At Terminal 4, we are continuously striving to find new ways to show our appreciation for our employees. Our series,  Humans of T4 takes pride in honoring all employees who work in the terminal by highlighting inspirational and heartwarming stories of those who make up the T4 family. We invite you to follow along! 



 Michelle Starkey–Supervisor,  Allied Universal  

For Michelle Starkey, trying to balance being nice and enforcing the traffic rules isn’t hard. “I have to understand that I don’t know what their day has been like. I have to make sure that whatever they’re mad about, I give them a minute to get it together." she notes. 

Her compassion makes a major difference in the post-flight experience. "I leave them for a second and they always appreciate me giving them a second to collect themselves. You never know what a person is going through before they even came here." Starkey says. 

T4 Tip

T4 Tip

T4 is a work of art. Really! You’ll find our private collection of world-class paintings, sculptures, and mobiles on display throughout the terminal.

With ongoing roadway construction at JFK Airport, your journey may have significant delays.

We recommend our T4 guests to allow some extra time to reach the terminal. Travelers are also encouraged to pre-book parking 48 hours in advance to guarantee parking and avoid the surcharge by clicking here. Alternatively, parking is available at Federal Circle, and take a transfer from there to T4 with the AirTrain.

Worried about long lines at security?

With Reserve powered by CLEAR, you can save your spot ahead of time and avoid the wait. No checked-in bag? You may go directly to the TSA checkpoint at level 1, on the east of the terminal.
