I have flight from london to JFK on AA airline arrive at 9:50 PM, my next flight to SAN in at 8:45 AM. So I have 11 houers to weat. Where can I spend this thim or there is hotel inside the ariport
No hotels inside the airport. You can spend some time in each terminal and do things like shopping, eating at food courts.
Hi, we are arriving at JFK from Orlando at 12pm and have to wait for our flight to Norway which leaves 8:30pm. We are travelling with 3 kids. How can we keep them and ourselves occupied at JFK for 7 hrs? Ia there a lounge where we can relax?
You have a long ... layer time frame. You can always go to my favorite spot in the pre security area of terminal 4 some shopping malls,seats to sit down and relax and some good food courts such as KFC and Chinese Restaurant. JFK_Specialist
Hi, We are flying from RDU to JFK and arriving at 6:05PM on Delta...then we fly at 7:05PM from JFK to Rome...this gives us only an hour to connect. Will we have time?
That's pretty tight!! If you're flying both legs on Delta, you don't have to change terminals and there's no arrival delay you have an outside chance. Make sure your bags are checked through to Rome and you have boarding passes for both flights. As you will arrive at either T2 or T3 (they are connected post-security) hopefully your Rome flight will depart from the same terminals so you just walk from your arrival gate to departure gate. Should your Rome flight depart from T4 there is a shuttle bus at gate 15 for Delta passengers to connect to Delta flights at T4 without having to deal with security.
How can I find a flight from NYC Metro area that will arrive in LAX at 8:30 a.m. or earlier on June 15, 2011?
Non-stop flights to LAX only depart from JFK and EWR (Newark). From LaGuardia (LGA) require a stop at a hub somewhere along the way (Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, etc.) for a change of flights. Check with American, United, Delta and Continental about early morning non-stop departures. Flight time is about six hours with a three hour time difference.
Could someone pls advise the following
Arrive JFK from London via Delta at 3.39pm
Depart JFK from New York via Qantas at 6.45pm
IS THIS ENOUGH TIME TO CHANGE TERMINALS ?
DO I HAVE TO CLEAR CUSTOMS/IMMIGRATION OR DO I STAY IN TRANSIT?
DO I RE CHECK MY BAGS IN/OUT WHILST IN TRANSIT ?
Would love answers to these questions...
1.Yes you have more than enough to make your connection.
2. Yes you will clear both Immigration and Customs regardless whether transiting or not.
3. Yes you will have to recheck the bags with your second career for your second flight.

We arrive at JFK at 21.45 from Orlando and have to get to Terminal 8 for our on-going flight to London, Heathrow departing at 23.05. My questions are...what terminal do we fly in to and will we have enough time to get to our departure gate?
Thank you
If your flight from Orlando is on Delta then most likely terminal 2 or 3. You should have enough time for your connection since on the domestic flight there are no customs and immigration involved. From terminal 2/3? take an air train on track 2 to terminal 8 2 minute trip. Watch gate number on your boarding pass once you arrive at JFK. You should recieve those in Orlando Florida.

I believe I am a victim of a SCAM. Has anyone by the name of Paul Dickens presented himself as a Diplomat from Accra Ghana with a consignment to be delivered to me and has the consignment been seized by Customs?

If travelling from outside US (UK) & ending your journey outside US (eg caribbean) so only using JFK as a hub, do you have to go through US customs?
Yes you still have to clear Customs even if just transiting.
JFK_Specialist
You are not special and not an exception so yes you have to go through customs and then security all over again.
Yes, all international arrivals to JFK must clear US customs and immigration, even though you may be transiting.
We will be arriving in New York the morning of Oct. 7 via the Queen Mary 2. We have a departing flight to Denver on Delta airlines flight 0167 at 6:59 pm. Where can we store our luggage in order to do a little sight seeing in New York prior to our departure, and what would the cost be.
I am arriving from heathrow to jfk with BA
I am then flying with Jetblue to Fort Myers
I understand that I need to get on the Airtrain
Is the Airtrain on the same level as the last unit you have to go through which I believe is the customs department?. If not where do I need to go please to get on this airtrain
Thank you
Simply follow the signs for Airtrain, it's not hard to find, or ask one of the nice airport folks. The Airtrain on track 2 is the terminals-only loop.
My parents are coming by AI101 on Aug 31st 6am to JFK and have connecting flight AA269 at 6:30 pm. So they have to stay almost 12 hrs in the airport. I have few questions -
1. Which terminal AI-101 arrive ?
2. Which terminal/gate AA269 depart ?
3. Is there any free wifi available ? What is the best option for internet?
4. Any suggestion which terminal to wait/ what to do?
Thanks in advance!
Are there any resturants at the airport. I have a feeling that I am going to be there for a while and would like to be able to eat and pass the time.
What are some cheap forms of ground transportation from JFK Airport to Bethpage on Long Island over a weekend?
Take Airtrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and LIRR to Bethpage. Total fare on a weekend is $10.25 and the trains generally run every hour.
My family and I travelled on Flight SAA 203 sunday 11 July to JFK. On arrival, my niece`s bag had obviously been tampered with at Johannesburg, with an empty can of Coca Cola and a ribbon placed in the luggage. My concern is the lack of security, where anything can be placed in a piece of luggage, whether it be contraband, or an explosive device. The passenger is entirely unaware as to this, as the lugggage has already been checked thru.
Any contraband found at JFK would result in severe penalty to the passenger.
It a timed device was placed in luggage, and was set to activate on arrival at JFK, the results could be catastrophic.
As a frequent flyer to the US, this is the first time that this has happened, but did cause some panic amongst family members.
Is there any way that security can be beefed at airports outside the US,up under orders from the US Government.

Hello,
I am taking a domestic Jetblue flight from BOS to JFK and have to connect to a Lan Ecuador flight to Guayaquil. I believe the Jetblue flight arrives at Terminal 8 and the Lan Ecuador fligth departs from Terminal 4. How do I get from one terminal to the other? Is there a cost envolved? Do I have the JFK terminals for each airline correct?
Thanks!!!
Jet Blue from BOS arrives at T5; take Airtrain on track 2 to Terminal 4 - it is free.

I had the misfortune of accompanying someone to JFK yesterday. The person was elderly and requested a wheel chair through their carrier, Egypt Air. I have never seen such disorganization and uncoordinated efforts like I saw in terminal 4 yesterday! After checking in your baggage, you have to stand on a line to drop your luggage off at the conveyor belt. The traveler we accompanied sat in the wheel chair while my husband and I had to stand on a line for approximately an hour and a half to drop off the luggage! Half way through the wait the person wheeling her and the person "supposedly" organizing the line said if the person is in a wheel chair, they can go with their luggage to the front of the line. As we listened, we left the line to move forward, which took us at least 10 minutes. When we got to the front, we were yelled at, abused and told we were trying to cut the line! The jest of the whole thing is, we lost our spot, we had to go back to the end of the line and the traveler we accompanied was wheeled all the way in, leaving her luggage with us (isn't this against security rule?). We never even got to say goodbye to her. JFK and Egypt Air personnel were rude and crass. There has to be a better way to treat travelers. Why can't you check in and just drop off your luggage like it's done everywhere else? I was very disappointed and will do anything to avoid traveling out of JFK or on Egypt Air in the future!
I am arriving JFK at 22:15 on Delta to T3. Will be taking El Al flight to Israel from T4 at 23:50. Is there a way to get from T3 to T4 without exiting T3 and going through security again at T4? If not, is 1 1/2 hours enough time to make the transfer? I am sending my 1 luggage through from LAX to Israel.
Please advise ASAP, flight leaves tomorrow morning.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am traveling to Japan on Monday April 19th and 12:30pm, when should i arrive at the airport to get through check in and security checks on time? and also, are there foreign currency exchanges available?
Personal goods were removed from my brothers luggage at JFK by TSA they left 2 notes in the bag. We have phoned +- 60 people in the USA and in our USA councular offices, to no avail we just come to a blank wall nobody at TSA is prepared to help, I cannot get hold of some of the more senior staff to help. They have forwarded a website that you can claim but we want the goods back as we cannot obtain this in our country The goods are two coil over shockabsorbers bought at Aldans in LA. This is for rebuilding a 1939 Chevy The shopping for these items gave the whole family such pleasure, but alas this is now a diaster. We have traveled from Chicago to Boston to NY to DC to Miami and back to JFK and the luggage was searched and notes left and the goods were left in the luggage. Why now?
