I will have 1.5hrs to transfer from an international flight (Cathay Pacific -Terminal 8) to domestic flight (Jetblue- Terminal 5)

I arrive around 9pm and my Jetblue flight leaves at 10.45 for Bos. Assuming the flights are on schedule, is it possible?

This is a tight connection as you will need to clear customs, which can take up to one hour depending on how busy they are, transfer terminals via AirTrain and clear security.

How can I do to go from terminal 8 to terminal 4??

Take AirTrain on track 2 from T8 to T4.

Can somebody help me? I am from South Africa and will be landing at JFK on 12 June 2011. From there I need to travel to 125 Vernon Ave< Brooklyn. What wil be the best way?

Where is 125 Vernon Ave. located? Need to know to give you accurate instructions.

Hello there ,I need help getting ready for my trip iM leaving Feb,18 th in a delta flight , and coming back The 21st On a Usairways Flight ,, so my question is where can i/or should i park? and how do i get to the airport from where i should park?

Since you will be departing on U.S airways and those airlines arrive and depart from terminal 8 use long term terminal 8 parking lot for your own convenience.

I am one person travelling with three large bags. I must get from Terminal 5 to Terminal 4. Can I rent a luggage cart and take it on the air train? If so, how much time do I need?

You can rent a SmartCarte at the airport and take it on AirTrain JFK. Allow between 30-45 minutes for completing the transfer from T5 to T4.
