Hi,

I have 2 hours to arrive in Terminal 4, take my luggage, go to Terminal 6 and check-in for an international flight? Do you think that is possible? How long is the train betwwen the terminals?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'll be at JFK airport on the 22 of August with the following schedule:

Departing London Heatrow: 08.30 Sun 22 Aug 2010
Arriving JFK: 10.59 Sun 22 Aug 2010

Departing JFK: 22.15 Sun 22 Aug 2010
Arriving Buenos Aires: 10.15 Mon 23 Aug 2010

Therefore I'll have 11 hours between my arrival at JFK and my next departure to Buenos Aires.

Considering that I've to be at the airport 3 hours before my flight in order to pass the check in, do you think I'll have enough time to take a train and visit New York?

Which train I should take?

Tanks for your help.

Hi,
How long should I allow from when my flight lands to boarding a bus at Port Authority? I'm coming from Australia so have to pick up my bags, pass through immigration and customs and then make my way to the bus terminal. What would be a safe time allowance? Also what would be the easiest way to get from JFK to the port authority bus terminal? Thanks, Pippa
