Dear "concerned and outraged".

What are you so concerned about? What exactly is so "private" that you need to hide it. Do you think that the screeners really care what you look like under your clothes? You and your privacy advocates need to grow up and face the fact that we live in a world where people are trying to bring harm to others. And no, this is not a "profiling" thing. The danger could come from anywhere and anyone. Stop worrying yourself with everyone's rights. What about my right to a safe flight? If something terrible were to happen, I promise that you will be the first one to say the Government isnt doing enough.

At least get the quote right:

Benjamin Franklin:'They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety.'

The debate revolves around the term "essential" (interesting to see that's precisely the term you chose to omit). If you are trying to argue that you have an "essential" right to board planes without adequate screening for weapons, have phone conversations with known foreign terrorists, or stockpile bombmaking materials, then sorry, normal Americans will disagree with you in huge majorities.

I arrive from France at 13h45 to JFK terminal 3. Then I want to go to Miami. Am I safe to buy a flight from terminal 8 at 15h55?
To get the laguage, to change terminal and to check in are 2 hours enought? otherwise next flight is at 18h50. Tnx

Should not be a problem if you are traveling with the same airline, since in the worst case scenario they will get you a seat in a different flight.

Otherwise 3 hours should be just the limit, since you should expect delays in the passport checkpoint and leave time for terminal change.

please help
thanks!

If you are entering the US, you should go to customs, implying the need to get all your bags.

After you are cleared in customs, there is a special check bags point which is very efficient and avoids the need to go to the 3rd floor and check in bags.

I will be arriving to JFK on an Air China flight and have 2 hours to make my connection in Terminal 3. Will this give me enough time to go through customs and make my flight? Thanks.

Anonymous (not verified)

It should be, you can usually clear customs from China in roughly 30 minutes from leaving the plane.

hi
on 2/24/08 my husband and i flew into jfk on our way to orlando, florida. while waiting for our connecting flight i purchased a book and a hat at a Press Relay in the area near to our terminal. the charge was $31.36..when i got home from vacation i was checking my bank statement and there were two withdrawals dated 3/11/08 and 3/14/08 for the same amount. i need to dispute this matter as only one purchase was made there. since i cannot remember the terminal number can you help me get in touch with this novelty shop (press relay)? any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated....

I have relatives arriving from oversees at 3:00pm in Terminal 4 and need to get to Terminal 7 to catch a connecting flight. They are not US Citizens, would they need to claim their bags and go through customs and then recheck them at terminal 7? if so, how much time should they allow for?

My flight today was from BNA (Nashville, TN) to JFK with a connecting flight to Venice. I purchased the 24 hour plan with Boingo. When I got to my gate, there was no access point other than a secure point that I obviously could not connect to. So, basically, I wasted my money for the 30 minutes I was able to use it in Nashville.

Please fix this for future travelers.

Sincerely,
Lee

Hi, I will be arriving on a Comair (Delta Connection) flight from Montreal at 7:40am and departing on a Delta flight to Heathrow at 8:55 am. I have 2 questions.
1) I've gotten mixed information as to whether I will be arriving/departing from terminal 2 or 3. How long does it take to connect between the two terminals?
2) Is an hour and 15 min enough time between connecting flights if they are at different terminals?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm wondering if someone could look into the possibility of placing some cell phone charger machines
at the airport.
I've used these type of machines in airport all over the world, most recently they've become common in the UK and Ireland, they are so useful and easy to use and
they also gave me an emergency boost when it was important to have my phone in use.
The UK guys are www.recharge.ie
I'm sure the service would be appreciated by almost every frequent flyer.
Regards all.
John.

I ordered some pisotns from my vintage car from a guy in France because they cannot be found in the states. I paid extra to have him ship it priority, and within 3 days, the tracking number said that it touched down at Kennedy airport and enterd status of "Inbound Into Customs". Well, it has been 8 days without the package showing up, or this status changing. Is my package lost? Can I call anyone besides the post office (clueless) to see what the deal is? In this age of global commerce, this is friggin ridiculous.
