Luggage storage before or after your JFK Airport flight

No Stasher point is currently within a practical walk of JFK Airport, so any Stasher booking requires a separate journey.

The awkward hours between a JFK Airport flight and hotel check-in or checkout are easier to use without luggage. Stasher rates for travellers using JFK Airport start from $2.49 per bag per day.

There are no restrictions on bag dimensions or weight. The policy sets no maximum for either measurement, so luggage with unusual dimensions or greater weight is not excluded by a stated size or weight limit.

Official left-luggage at JFK: terminals, hours and rules

JFK Airport’s baggage storage is operated by Smarte Carte, with facilities in Terminal 1 and Terminal 4. The Terminal 4 facility is at the Arrivals Ground Level and is open 24 hours per day, making it the airport’s round-the-clock option. Smarte Carte requires a photo ID and boarding pass for baggage storage, and every bag must be locked. Prohibited items include flammable materials, alcohol, firearms and perishables. The Terminal 1 and Terminal 4 locations are therefore subject to the same identification, boarding-pass, locking and restricted-item rules. Check that your bags meet these requirements before using the service.

Leaving JFK on a layover: transit times and connections
