My wife is a Japanese national with a US permanent resident card. I am a US citizen. Our children have both USA and JAPAN passports.

We leave this Sunday for Japan but my one daughter's New US Passport will not arrive until after the flight. Her Japanese Passport is valid.

Japanese PP Name: Japanese First Name + Mother's Maiden Name + My Surname in parenthesis.

USA PP Name: American First Name + Japanese First Name + My Surname.

Name on Ticket: American First Name + My Surname

Will this present a problem in her exiting the US through JFK?

Thank you.

I flew back from Frankfurt, GER yesterday 7/8 on flight SQ26 landing at JFK at ~10:30 a.m. When we got to Customs, there were only two positions open/manned for US Residents (there were three for Green Card lanes and many more for non-Residents, I could not see/count them all). While waiting in line, one of the two positions that were open for US Residents was closed for awhile (not sure the cause) leaving only a single lane open before reopening. Two positions is insufficient and created extrememly long queues/delays. When I asked the person directing traffic why there were only two lanes open, I was told that everyone was on break which would seem to be a pretty lame excuse(apparently long breaks and apparently the other lanes did not have the same break schedule). While I support improving the experienece for others visiting our country, I believe that we should not make it more painful for US residents to return. As a business owners, if I treated my customers in this manner I would lose business quickly. Please review your staffing levels to ensure that US Residents know that they are valued and that their time is important to you as well.

if the visitors were held up you wouldn't be commenting

My mother is a first time traveler, visiting mom in UK, wants to carry two cell phones. One planet to use in UK and second one to use in US while she's in transition at JFK. My question is, is she allowed to carry two phones with battery charges?

Thank for help with previous question. I've got one more: How much time before the flight should I be on the airport? I assume that check-in, passport and baggage control can take at least one hour.
Thx very much once again for Your help.

Hello, could you tell me JetBlue departure terminal number, please ? (July 12, flight 197 from JFK to Las Vegas) Thank you very much.

Jetblue flights depart from Terminal 5

Terminal 5.

Hi.
I was wondering were should I meet my friend on saturday.
I will arrive in the evening in terminal 7 and her plane will land in terminal 8.
Her flight is from france so international so I guess she will have to go trhough customs and all that.

But where do you think is an easy place to meet up for both of us?

Thanks

It looks like T7 is better place. The terminal is smaller than T8 and it is easier to find each other at T7.

I WILL BE LEAVING TRINIDAD ON AUG 12TH @ 915 AND ARRIVING JFK ON AUG 13TH @2:20AM, I AM TRAVELLING WITH A 23 MONTH OLD AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW LONG WOULD I TAKE TO PASS THROUGH CUSTOMS AND IMMIGRATION? I AM HOPING THAT TIME I WILL BE ARRIVING WILL MAKE IT A QUICKER, FASTER AND EASIER PROCESS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

about 1 hour

There are not that many flights at that time and it will be quicker to go through the formalities. Plan on spending 20-40 min. in there.

Please what's the operating time of JFK? Is it open 24x7? Thank you.

The airport operates 24-7 however only terminal 4 is open 24 hours a day. The other terminals generally close for a while during the overnight hours.
