On Sunday 4/29/12, i believe i may have left a small brown journal/memo book on Flight #087 from Vienna Austria. Are these items ever turned in to Lost and Found and if so, whom to contact? Bill B. elizbil@frontiernet.net
Hi!
I fly from Moscow to JFK (flight SU102)and then to Las Vegas (DL1729). Do I need to transfer my luggage from one flight to another by myself? And if yes, where and at what moment it should happen?
Thank you.
Yes you have to do it yourself and it is right after clearing Customs.

I will fly from helsinki to JFK, arrived at 13:30 in terminal 8. In the same day, my mother will take flight CA981, from Beijing to JFK, arrived at 14:20 in terminal 1. Her english is poor, so I have to help her pass customs. So, how could I do this? (we are both Chinese and hold b type visa).
Hello,
I am arriving at JFK next week at terminal 1 and will need to go to terminal 3 for my connection flight.where do I go to catch the air train and what train track I should take for transferring from terminal 1 to terminal 3
Thank you for your response
Air train on track 2 only. Air train is located on the 3rd floor of terminal 1 at JFK.

My parents are flying from Moscow to seattle via JFK.they will need to change terminals (from terminal 1 to terminal 3 ). They also need to recheck baggage after customs. They need do not speak English, so I need to give them instructions on how to do it. Could you tell me what they need to do?
Thank you very much
Once they get off the plane they need to clear immigration and customs and then recheck their bags for their second flight. From terminal 1 tell them to take an air train on track 2 to terminal 3.

hi, my flight is from kiev to miami with connection in jfk. Im arriving at Jfk on a friday at 5:00pm on Aeroflot and then my next flight is at 7:00 pm with Delta. With me is a Ukranian citizen who has proper documents but has never been to the US. before. Is 2 hours enough to catch our next flight?
thanks
2 hours is perfectly good time frame and enough for you to make that connection.

Hi
I’m arriving to T1 on Saudi Airlines @ 11:30 AM and have domestic flight departures from T5 on 2:13 PM. What the faster way to transfer between these terminals and how long it takes?
Do I have enough time to catch my flight ?
Yes you have plenty of time to connect. From T1 take any train on track 2 to T5. It takes about 2 minutes.

Hi, I will be arriving at JFK Terminal 1 on Saturday at 11am on Singapore Airlines.
I would need to take a domestic flight to Buffalo and I cannot through checked my luggage (meaning I need to clear customs, pick up my luggage and move over to Terminal 5 and check in the luggage again). Do I have sufficient time if I choose a 1425H Jetblue flight at Terminal 5?
Or should I take a later flight? If so, what is the timing I should be looking at?
Thanks!
Hi !
My plane arrives from Moscow at 5pm at term 1, and then I need to reach term 8 where my other plane leavs to LA at 7pm.
Will it be enough time for me to pass the passport control and custom clearence at term 1, catch AirTrain, get to term 8 and not to miss my plane?
Do I need to buy a ticket for Ait Train between T1 and T8 or just go to the train directly?
And do I need time for passport control when flying from NY to LA or just check-in? If I do on-lone check-in may I go from Air Train directly to my gate?
Thanks in advance.
My friend, a citizen of Thailand, will travel from Thailand to JFK and arrive Saturday, March 17 on Korean Air KE081, expected at 11:00am.
He will need to get to Terminal 5, to take Jet Blue flight #1010 to Boston at 2:20pm.
He speaks little English, and I have not been to JFK in years, so I have two questions:
1. Assuming he lands on time, will 3 hours & 20 minutes be enough time to clear Customs, collect his bags, clear U.S. Immigration, and get to Terminal 5?
2. Will it be easy for him to identify the correct shuttle to take him from Terminal 1 to Terminal 5? Do you have any specific instructions I could pass along to him?
Thanks,
Doug
1. Yes he has plenty of time to clear both immigration and customs.
2. Yes it is a piece of cake to find a correct shuttle. Watch monitor boards with signs that show which terminals air train will pass through. Tell him to take an air train on track 2 it is all terminals air train from T1 to T5.

I left a carry-on bag at terminal 1 prior to boarding a China Eastern Airlines flight (MU 588) on March 7th 2012. I only noticed as we were boarding the plane and told the checkin staff that it was missing. A staff member called "Sam" took my email and phone number and promised to contact me. So far I haven't received any response. As soon as I got to Shanghai I went to their China Eastern Airlines counter and put in a lost baggage claim which they faxed through to JFK. I have tried to call the JFK lost and found number (866) 588-0825 but no one answers. What should I try next? This bag is very important to me as it has my wedding jewelery. Any help would be appreciated!
Try to post this message on LOST AND FOUND part of this website for better service.

We will be arriving at JFK T1 on AF006 on sunday march 8th. Arrival is scheduled at 4.35 pm with a connecting flight out of T3 at 6.55 pm with delta ( DL1571 )to Miami.
Is this a tight schedule or should it be OK, and can we already drop our luggage back of at T1 ?
Thx
I am flying into JFK March 24 China Airlines 20 at 13:00, terminal 1 and have to make a connection to AA 4442 15:05, terminal 8. I know I need to collect my bags, go through customs, and recheck them. I also need to print my boarding pass for AA flight.
1)Is there an American Airline counter in terminal 1?
2)If not, is there a "transit counter" to recheck my bags?
3)If not, I suppose I have to recheck my bags at terminal 8?
Thank you
I need the real time departure flight TAM8083, today, from JFK to SAO (São Paulo - Brasil).
Thanks

Go to and google JFK AIrport arriving and departing flights to see your gate number and departure time.
I am flying into JFK March 1 Delta 30 at 14:49, terminal 3 and have to make a connection to TK 2 at 16:45, terminal 1. Will I need to collect my bags and recheck them at terminal 1 or will the bags be transferred automatically? Is this enough time?
You got enough time and yes you need to collect your luggage and check it through Customs if your first flight is international.

hi
i will be at jfk airport this sunday coming up at termanil 1 and it will be my first time at jfk, also traveling alone.. please tell me how to go about getting around the airport at jfk. thanks-
This is an easy airport to find your way around in.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Belt Parkway:
Belt Parkway to the JFK expressway. The JFK expressway circles around the airport to every terminal. Just watch the signs for your terminal number. If there is a lot of traffic and you miss your exit for the terminal that you need, just circle around again.
Long island Expressway:
Take the Van Wyck Expressway and follow the signs to JFK.
By train:
Take the Long Island Rail Road to Jamiaca.
When you get to Jamiaca you will see signs for the AirTrain. From eth platform take the escalator or elevator up to the concourse, and just follow the signs for the AirTrain. The AirTrain runs 24/7 and stops at all airport terminals.
When you get to your terminal just walk up to the counter and check in.
I prefer taking the train! You never know what the traffic is going to be like in the NYC metro area is going to be like. And the last thing you want is to arrive late at the airport. I suggest not driving alone and parking your car at the airport as you will come back to a very expensive parking bill!
Oh just one more thing... If you have a lot of suitcases and stuff, you may prefer to take a shuttle bus from the city.. or if your coming from the island call an airport shuttle like "Hampton Coach" etc.
Hope this helps.
Dear Sir/Madam,
How many hours ahead of take-off schedule does the boarding pass change start?
I'm taking my new born child with China Eastern MU588 by 2/12, and I need to book my seats next to the cradle on the airplane. So my boarding pass is expected to be changed as early as possible.
MU588 takes off by 15:35, would I be able to get my boarding pass by 12:35?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I traveled into JFK on Aeromexico last Friday. I just realised I left behind something in the overhead bin. Is there a lost and found facility, or where would that have gone? It is a pair of trousers
Thanks

Hello -
I am flying today with Aeroflot from Terminal 1 with a luggage that has broken. Is there luggage wrapping service available on Terminal 1? If so, where exactly is it located and how much would it cost? Would appreciate a prompt response. THANK YOU!!
Yes, there are two stations on each side of terminal one, next to entrance doors. Service cost $9.00 for regular luggage and $12.00 for oversize bag, but be prepared to pay $12.00 for each bag anyway, it what I paid last time I used them.
Hope this helps.

Hello
my parents are flying with aeroflot SU315, arrival on 17. March, 6 pm and me and my husband are flying with AirFrance, AF0010, arrival on the same date, 1 hour later. I am a little bit worried for my parents, because they do not speak English, so it will be difficult for them to go throught the passport control. Is it possible we can go together? 'cause we are going to stay in US anyway altogether for the whole time...
yes, if you are arriving at the same terminal -- which I think you will (both at T1). You are not forced to go through immigration right away. Your parents can wait for you just outside the line, where people are filling out forms. The only issue is your plane is delayed. Using mobile phones is in principle not permitted in this area but if you are not yet in line I imagine no one would complain too much, so you could call them if they have a US mobile phone. Unfortuntely they'd have no way of knowing if your plane is delayed, there is no arrival information in that area.
It is possible but unlikely to happen as both of you have different arriving times.

Hi I will be taking a flight from DC and arriving at JFK at 7:10am terminal 8, in order to fly to Casablanca, Morocco. The Morocco flight departs at 9:05am, from terminal 1. Will 2 hours be enough time to get my bags, go through tsa and board flight at 9:05? Also, can it take an air train from terminal 1 to terminal 8?
