Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport is not only one of American Airlines' largest hubs, but it is also known as the gateway to New York. Westfield has created a one of a kind 'New York' shopping and dining experience in Terminal 8 by offering customers from around the world a perfect blend of authentic local eateries and trendy downtown hotspots with a variety of Fifth Avenue retailers.

Renowned brands including Oakley, Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers, Pandora and iStore are featured in full shops or boutiques, joining the world-class International Shoppes Duty Free store to create a tempting assortment of shopping locations for international passengers.
Dining: Featuring first-ever airport concepts from authentic New York eateries, stylish bar/lounges and classic brands, the array of new dining options at American Airlines' Terminal 8 is reminiscent of what one would see strolling through mid-town Manhattan.
