I will land at Terminal 4 at JFK from mumbai. I need to go to terminal 8 to catch a flight to dallas. how do i do that.
Take AirTrain on the second floor. It's free. Both directions can bring you to Terminal 8. For inner loop, the next stop will be Terminal 3, then Terminal 1, then Terminal 8/9. For outer loop, the next stop will be Terminal 5/6, then Terminal 7, then Terminal 8/9. Terminal 8/9 will be the 3rd stop on your way for both directions.
Hello,
Was wondering if you knew an average wait time for non-US citizens, from landing, to being released from Customs. and if the arrival time matters (7:30am in my case).
Thanks much!
Hi,I am arriving to JFK on June 2nd on Delta 89 from Kiev at 2:30 PM and continue flying to Salt Lake at 3:45 PM. Is it enough time to go through passport and INS control with 1:15 minutes? Especially with one runway closed.
Thanks
That is not enough time even with all the runways open:).
As a not written rule, to transfer at JFK you will need at least 2 hours time. Just to be on the safe side.

Hi,
I have to change terminal3 to terminal4 to catch international flight at jfk airport.How long it will take to reach airtrain from t3,is it a walkable distance to catch airtrain. Also i have to get my Boarding passes at Jfk from kuwait Airways and finish my security check.Does Terminal4 has check-in counter for kuwait airways,where i can get my boarding pass,or Should i have to go to some other terminal to find an kuwait airways check-in counter to getthe boarding pass.
Please respond to this question.
It is a walkable distance from T3 to T4(which is almost the same distance to get from T3 to T3Airtrain Station).
Walking the distance is no more than 10 min.
Terminal 4 has check-in counter for Kuwait Airways on the 4th floor. Once you get there look at the monitors on which row Kuwait Airline is located.

I'm arriving Saturday at 14:30 with Turkish Airlines and I have a Delta flight to catch at 17:05 to Salt Lake City. Will I have enough time with all the immigration and travel between the terminals? And shall I walk from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 or take the AirTrain? Which will be faster? Thanks a lot!
You have plenty of time if Turkish Airline flight is on time. It is very hard to say which way is faster from T1 to T3 - walking or Airtrain - it is almost the same(10-15 min)

This is what's wrong with our country! A man is reprimanded for being a good dad and taking care of his children! To the people who made this decision - do you mean to tell me you never went to work with your parents? If not, then I guess you truly missed out. The kids were not running the tower by themselves! They were experiencing what their Dad does to put food on their table. He is a role model to them. Your company should be ashamed of itself! If he is not reinstated, I will never step foot in your airport again. I give my business to businesses who support american families!!
Let me say this, first of all thank GOD there wasn't an accident, but let say there was an accident (up in the air) during this event, the very first thing you people would say is "Oh my god, we are being attack again, this is a terrorist attack." You people need a reality check.
I would like to comment on the Air Traffic Controller issue. I was a 911 dispatcher for 10 years. While we never let our kids talk on the radio, we were always encouraged to allow our kids to come into the dispatch center for short periods of time. This enabled them to learn what we did and understand why mom or dad may come home a little stressed from time to time. I thought it was cute to hear the kids on the radio, but in this PC correct world we live in it can't be done anymore. Don't forget to make sure your kids don't say a prayer or take their bible to school. I think it is our duty as Americans to be a little less judgemental and a little more supportive. You can be assured that the gentleman was watching what was happening and would have quickly moved his children out of the way if he needed to.
You fired a great father
Do you know, that your stupid act is not only on the internet, but also made it into the evening news in germany?
If you have read the other comments on your website you will have noticed, that I am not the only one who thinks that fireing that person was a stupid idea.
I guess you should think about this decision again give him back his job.
If you are lucky the news will report about that too.
What a horrible comment on our society and our airports. . .
You have a future employee (albeit he is still a kid) in that little boy. What a wonderful experience for a child to be with his father and doing a very important job. Instead of embracing a situation, you reprimand and punish the father. Now in the eyes of his child, JFK Airport management look like jerks. You turned a good experience into a bad one for this little guy. I heard the transcript, as a layman, he did an outstanding job for a 9 year old. Management should be ashamed of themselves. No wonder airlines are hurting. Customer service, along with humanity has gone out the window. I understand about security issues, but you should have faith in your employees. I'm sure the father (employee) was with his son at all times and had the situation was well under control. I'm sure he takes (or should say took) his job seriously and wouldn't allow any harm to come to anyone, including his son. Bad move...
Are you all kidding me? So if its okay for a 9 year old to direct the path of a multi-million dollar plane, full of innocent passengers is it okay for a 9 year to operate on you? No,no really. I'm sure the father would take the same precaution as a doctor as this father had. He will let him "observe" several operations, they'll practice a couple of times, even better he'll take his job "so seriously" he will even let his son meet the patient sporting miniature scrubs and all before the procedure! Albeit in reality the young man may just get to make the first incision but, it'll still be a great experience! Right??? Yeah that's what I thought!
I think perhaps a severe reprimand is in order for the controller...an airport is no place to "play".
Perhaps not a firing, more of an "ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???"
My dad wouldn't let us go into the Xerox room in his office, let alone sit in on a meeting!
My father was a pilot at a commercial airline we well know today and on a "take your child to work day" I went flying with my dad on a 180 passenger plane! He taught me a couple of things and let me sit in the captain's seat and fly which instilled a passion which drew me to get my own private flying license when I was 16. I think that if the father was in full control of the situation and traffic was slow then why not! With the current ATC crisis(which I know well given my husband is an air traffic controller) we need to inspire young generations to love the ATC job if not we need to start inventing robots that will do the job when all the controllers retire!
Wow! What has it all come down to???!!! I see nothing wrong with what this dad and supervisor have done. That little guy did a great job repeating what his dad had surely told him....hellllooooo...... Shame on the people that take these guys jobs away! I thought it was very commendable that a dad of this day and age would be willing to take the time to share his life and knowledge with his son. Come on people....don't make it out to be something so horrific....Kudos to the dad and supervisor:)
My sentiments, exactly! What is this world coming to! My support and sympathy goes out to the wonderful father who is teaching his son to be a hardworking American...what a shame the press and FAA are making such a big deal of this. They should be ashamed of themselves for vilifying this father over such a little thing. No one was put in danger, traffic was not delayed or confused, and it bothered no one but some stuffy officials.
It is completely and 100% illegal for him to have his kid directing flights up there, especially after 9/11. JFK was acting in complete accordance of it's rules when they fired him; he made a stupid mistake. While obviously no harm was done, people should never be exempt from rules just because what they're doing might be "cute." A rule is a rule, and a law is a law.

Jeeeez talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.
Just an opinion from a member of the flying public:
You should stand behind your employee. After hearing the facts in this case, it really seems that it has been blown out of proportion. We are becoming such a nation of tightly wound idiots. It would be a crying shame if someone lost their job over this situation. He's obviously very good at his job or he wouldn't be working at JFK. I feel completely confident putting myself in the hands of the air traffic controllers at JFK, whether they have their children stop in for the day or not.
What our children need to develop into independent, well-developed adults is another subject all together. Exposing your child to your workplace and responsibilities is a wonderful way to help them understand the realities of life and their developing role as a contributing human being. More people should do what this parent did. Kudos to the other people in the tower who recognized this and helped enable it to happen.
I'm agree that fired the ATC and his supervisor for it , it is not of my point of view a good thing , we must replace all this in its context , a kid supervised by an ATC perform his job , how many times childs follow his parent to see and "do" their job, discover their world.
We are in the USA , were all is possible .... ;)
Child in control tower
For someone to loose their job over having their child involved in their job is insane. It is very clear that this boy had his father right there with him coaching him on exactly what to say. No harm no foul. It sickens me that a great father will loose his job over wanting to give his son a memorable experience. The pilots don't seem bothered so whats the big deal?
Please forward this message to the ATC controller and his supervisor that have been placed on suspension.
I would like you to know that I feel horrible for what is happening to you guys and your families over what the media calls an "incident" on February 17th. Sirs, it is apparent by listening to the ATC transmissions aired on TV this morning, that the youngster in question was obviously under direct supervision. The pilots seemed to appreciate having an interested youngster on the other end of their radio that morning as well. I am not a pilot nor a controller, but I have about 15 years of experience in downed aircraft SAR and I know enough about the aviation industry to know the difference between safe and not-safe operations. To the youngster in the middle of all of this: keep your chin-up kiddo, don't let what you see on TV dictate what you want to do in life! I think it is absolutely awesome that you showed the interest as well as the attention to detail to forward traffic to those pilots and you did it well! To the young man's parent: I think you are getting short-changed my friend and it's a shame. Be proud of your kid and don't let the media get to you. The folks that are the most upset about this are the folks that have the least understanding of what it is you do every day. Unfortunately, as usual, the powers that be, the FAA and JFK ATC are playing the CYA game, pandering to the masses of folks that have no clue what they are talking about.
i think the media and or the person who reported this incident are absolutely enormously blowing this out of perportion,CLEARLY, the pilots were making the childs visit a memorable one, these pilots are highly educated and responsible. SHAME on the person or persons responsible for turning it around to a child feeling responsible for his fathers suspension,my heart goes out to that child and his family. i will not ever support jfk until i feel confident they are fair.
Judy, I do agree with you - however JFK airport has 4 runways. i know his father/mom was with him at all times during this clearance. But what if something went wrong (god Forbid)
You have one aircraft landing, one taking off. It shouldnt have happened - where safety is the main concern here.
Reminds me of an aeroflot pilot who let his son take over the controls at 30000Ft, did anything happen - YES!!
Its safety Judy, thats all I am concerned about.
I think that it is highly commendable that this responsible parent and human being brought their kid to work and let them safely partake in his daily job. Anyone who feels that this was in any way not the right thing to do needs to learn a little about human development and the well being of a child. I would gladly fly in any airplane where this type of thing takes place. As a matter of fact I would enjoy it beyond belief. Broadcast it over the plane's intercom and make it even more of a "family" event. Can you imagine how good the world would be if everyone would take their kids to work and let them participate for simply one day a year? If understand kids in any way I'll bet that you would understand that this positive type of thing will change a kid for the better for the rest of their life. Of course safety is the number one priority but I'm positive that there was no harm or chance of any danger with this situation.
It honestly hurts me to think that this guy and child is going to get punished for a dad being a great parent and trying to make a difference in his kid's life.
I agree! I think it is GREAT this man had his child at work and he let the child participate! The media is making a HUGE deal out of nothing. Let the man return to work for goodness sake!! I think he should be applauded for being a great dad, not punished!
I understand that the renovations on the bay runway are causing one hour delays on all flights in and out of JFK. Is this true? I'm meant to land at 6am on March 8, and I'm trying to determine if it will be better to fly into Newark to avoid the delays as I have a 7am conference call that I can't miss. Thanks!
To be on the safe side I will suggest you to change your flight into Newark. One our is very risky with the current conditions at JFK.

Hello, I'm meeting someone at jfk on 3-4 they are coming from Sweden to terminal 4,do you know where I can meet them? Or where I can tell them to look for me? Thank you for your help.
Terminal 4 , arrivals hall has a convenient waiting area where you can see ALL passengers arriving on international flights. It is located on the first floor in the middle of the hall.
JFK_E
Terminals 3 is restricted to passengers only. Its best that you meet him/her in terminal 4 Arrivals.
Im simply flying from Syracuse..Is there a time of day that should have the least delays? Or maybe an airline that might use a less congested runway?
