Terminal 3-4
Hi there,

Thanks

Customs clearing
Hello,
You probably get asked questions like this all the time and the answer is never quite specific - but can you give me an estimation of how long it would take between landing to clearing customs.
Basically I have a 9hr layover in JFK and I'd love to scoot to Manhattan for a few hours!
so either by train or taxi is possible..
thanks for your help
Dee
You should be able to
You should be able to explore for at least a few hours, just be sure to arrive back at JFK two hours before flight for check-in/security. Allow around one hour for customs and one hour for travel both to/from Manhattan. Taxi is always fastest to Manhattan, 45 minutes-1 hr. You can also take AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and take LIRR to Penn Station (midtown) or E subway to Broadway/Times Square area or to the end at the WTC site.
our flight arrives at 720 am
our flight arrives at 720 am and our connection flight is at 825.. is that enough time to get from gate 1 in terminal 3 to gate 25 ( in terminal 2?) .We are flying with delta and are very nervous about this ;\
Terminal 2 and 3 gates are
Terminal 2 and 3 gates are connected post-security so you just need to walk from gate 1 to gate 25, unless you are arriving to JFK from overseas, in which case you will need to clear customs first before proceeding back upstairs to the departure level and clear security. If arriving domestic you should be ok.
There is a 5 hour stop over
There is a 5 hour stop over on my flight from Buffalo to Dublin via JFK. Is that enough time to go into NYC and check out a couple of sites??
No, 5 hours is not really
No, 5 hours is not really enought time, since you need to check-in for international flights 2 hours prior to departure and travel to/from NYC is one hour each way. Doesn't leave much time.
I'm flying from Buffalo to
I'm flying from Buffalo to Dublin, Ireland via JFK. Will my bags automatically be forwarded or will I need to claim them when we arrive in JFK then go through security again to get them on the plane to Dublin??
Ask your airline at check-in
Ask your airline at check-in in Buffalo. If you are flying the same airline on both legs or the airlines have baggage agreements then yes, bags will be checked all the way through to Dublin.
connecting
We are arriving at terminal 4 at 5:30 am and need to meet friends who are arriving same day at 5:45 terminal 8. What would be the easiest way to meet them and get a taxi van into manhatten?
Determine whether you will
Determine whether you will meet at T4 or T8. A good place to meet it at baggage claim or international arrivals in either terminal. Take AirTrain between terminals.
