If i was to fly to france what terminal would I be in? How many resturants are in the airport? And what time would I leave?

JFK_Employee

Currently only Delta, Air France and American Airlines offer service to France from JFK. Check with those airlines for times of departure.

In which terminal is gate TM1 located?

Is there a "meeting point" in each terminal?

TM1 stands for Terminal 1. There is no specific designated area called "meeting point" in each terminal.

Hi I am coming in from Detroit on Delta then flying to Frankfurt on LH. Which terminals and how far apart are they - walking distance. Thanks!

JFK_Employee

Delta from Detroit will arrive most likely at Terminal 4.
And Lufthansa will depart out of Terminal 1. Those two terminals are far apart - the Airtrain is one convenient way to get between the terminals. It takes only 4-5 min.

I'll be travelling to Dubai in a couple weeks via Delta and Emirates. I'll arrive from Florida at terminal 3 and will depart out of terminal 4 on Emirates. Right now, there's 1 hour and 33 minutes between flights if everything is one time. Is this ample time between flights? Will I be able to make it, and if so, what's the best means of getting from terminal 3 to 4?

We are arriving on an Icelandair flight at 2:30 PM. Our next flight is on AA to NC leaving at 3:50. Is that enough time or should I change our flights. We will have to go through customs and recheck our bags as we cannot check them all the way through. Thanks

JFK_Employee

It is kind if tight. On your place I would choose to get on earlier flight out of Europe or later flight to NC.

I am traveling alone with a 3 year old and 1 year old. Is it possible for my husband who is not traveling with us to go through security to the gate to help us get there with all our carry on's - stroller, car seat, bags - thanks

JFK_Employee

Some of the airlines do give a pass for an additional person to go to the gate. Speak to the airline at the time of check in.

Hi,

I will arrive in JFK from Miami with American Airlines at Midnight and have to catch another plane to London the morning after at 9.30 with the same company.

Can I leave the airport during this time or do I have to stay for 9 hours in the international transit?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

JFK_Employee

You CAN leave the airport during that time.

Hello I'm arriving with americian airlines from washington at 13.59 at JFK. At 15.50 I have a KLM plane to Amsterdam.(Terminal 4) Do you think I have enough time to take my luggage from one Terminal to the other or should I take a plane earlier at Washington?

JFK_Employee

Less that two hours is kind of tight, especially if you flying out international. I would opt out for more time. Just to be on the safe side.

My friend and I are both flying into JFK airport but we're flying different airlines. She's flying United and I'm flying Delta. Where would be the best place to meet?

JFK_Employee

United lands at Terminal 7 . Since that terminal is less complicated you can meet there.

We are planning to arrive from the UK at around 4:45pm and have a connecting flight to Buffalo at 6:30pm. Is this sufficient time to clear whatever customs are required and transfer to a different terminal?

JFK_Employee

It depends on the fact if your flight from UK is on time and how fast you will clear the customs. In ideal situation, 2hrs between should be enough. But again, not all the time this happened at JFK. More time between the flights will give you more peace of mind.

Can Any body tell me how to get from T3 to T4, because I'm arriving at 4:30 p.m. I have to pick up all my luggage then go to check-in in T4.
I need a quick response PLZ.

JFK_Employee

Airtrain is one of the options. It comes every 3-5 min and if you take any train at the platform it will take somewhere between 1min to 8 min to get to T4. The Airtrain arrives at T4 on the third floor - all you have to do is to go up one floor and find the check-in counter for the connecting airline. The second option is walking - there is walkway between T3 and T4( just follow the fence) and the distance is 5-7min by foot(of course depending on the weather).

I just want to ask how to get from terminal 7 to terminal 5? How long is the travel time and where will i go for transportation. Because im a bit worried that i will miss my flight, Im arriving via Cathay Pacific at terminal 7 at 1:10 PM and need to catch a flight 3:30 PM. Do i still have enough time on transfering? Thanks so much.

Anonymous (not verified)

Dont worry about it. You will have enough time.
All you would have to do is take the airtrain. Once there just ask someone which side is to all terminals. that will take you where you would have to go. I should take you about 5 mins or less.

How easy is it to go from terminal 5 to terminal 1?

JFK_Employee (not verified)

1. Airtrain - it is a long walk(10 min) from T5 to the Airtrain Station; Airtrain between terminals(make sure you get this one) comes every 3-5 minutes; Between T5 station and T1 station is 3-5 min travel time. T1 Airtrain station is connected with Terminal 1;

2. Taxi - yellow cab will take you between terminals for a charge between $10 and $15( it is actually on the meter).
Travel time - 10 min.

I am planning to fly with Delta Airlines from CPH (Denmark) to JFK on 6 July 2010. According to schedule I am supposed to arrive at 4:45pm.

I need a connection flight to Halifax (Canada). I plan to book a flight with American Airlines departing at 6:40 pm on 6 July 2010 from terminal 8.

Would someone kindly let me know if I will have sufficient time to change planes?

Thanks!

2 weeks ago i had a flight to israel, befaure the flight in the security check i put a little bag with an ipode and a phone! i put it with my bag and my shoes in a basket. when it came out of the machine everything was in different direction and i think the little bag i lost with my ipode and my phone stucked in the machine. my shoes came along but the bag we had to repute it in the machine! so then me and my family finished taking all of our stuff, and i forgot of my little bag because i thought everything will come together and i will out everything in my big bag. then we went in the airplane and i sate, then when i was about to listen to my ipode i didn't find it, i ran to the people in the door to tell them about my lost bag, they said i can't come out of the airplane, and he gave me a number + he told me he will check for me and then i gave him my husband number for him to tell us if he found it or if he didn't. I was less worried, but still it was 2 really expensive staff. then when i arrived to israel i called this number and no body answered! i stayed in israel for 2 weeks and all of this weeks i tried calling this number and no body answered. then i came back i arrived to new york after 2 weeks, and i went to the lost and found and this woman showed me 3 bags that were lost in the 2 weeks, it wasn't one of them so i kept walking and my husband kept telling me that i didn't came to the right place, so then i asked another police man in the airport and he told me to go somewhere alse not the place i went to in the first place! then i arrived to this place that the police man told me to go but it was closed, my flight to were i lived was at 7:20 and the police man told us it will open just at 7:20, so i didn't have time to go search for my little bag and not to be late to the airplane. and i had to change terminals. now i am in my house wondering how i can get it if its still there. and this is a way. thank you and i hope i can still get.
