Hi.Can i ask something?Well i am play bowling and i will come in new york for vecations i wan't to buy bowling balls from new york cause its better than in my country.... i want to buy 2 or 3 bowling balls. What happent in customs do you now? What i have to pay?

JFK_Employee

There is no customs check here in USA when you leave USA. The customs check will be in your country at the point of entry. How much you have to pay depends on the airline you are flying on and the weight of your bags.

I'll be arriving on March 7th at 5:00 pm on Terminal 4 than I have a connection flight with Delta at 7:30 pm, where can I check in my luggage? I understand I need to pay $25 for the first piece of luggage and $35 for the second one? can I pay this without leaving the terminal areas? Thanks

JFK_Employee

As soon as you arrive at Terminal 4, arrivals hall, look for Delta counter. It is located on the side of the "Au bon pan" store. The Delta employee will be able to help you with those questions.

Hello...! I have a flight from Cairo to JFK in MS well my departure is at Monday, May 31, 2010 10:20 am and my arrival at 3:15pm in terminal 4 .I am asking cause I have another flight in DL to TPA and my time between my flights is 3:50 hours and I have to go from terminal 4 to terminal 3 .I am asking is the time between flights enough or not?. Are there any helper in JFK to any one doesn’t know any thing in USA? .Can you help me because this is my first time to me in USA because I am an immigrant.

JFK_Employee

That is plenty of time to transfer(assuming your flight from Cairo is on time). Use Airtrain to transfer from T4 to T3(where Delta is).

aaa, Do you think I could do that? In an other case one of my friends traveling from Athens to Washington was told at jfk to collect his luggage, have them checked and deliver them again at the lugage drop off point. In case I have to do this, in your way of thinking can I make it and get on time for the next flight?

JFK_Employee

Well, check with Delta before you check in in Athens. In case you have to collect your bags and recheck them again - there is convenient Delta "connecting flights" counter located right after Customs, where you can do that. Would you be able to make it in this case? It depends on how late is the flight at JFK and on the fact if it is busy at that counter. My personal opinion is that you will be able to make it(since you don't have to change the airlines).

JFK_Employee

One hour and half is kind of tight for JFK. Luckily( according to your info) you are flying the same airline(Delta) and that is not a problem as long as you check you bags in Athens all the way through SFO. Terminal 2 and 3 are connected and easy to change. Check again if the connecting flight is out of T2.

Hi! i will be flying into JFK terminal 3 on an international flight next month! my parents are picking me up! wheres a good place to plan to meet after getting through immigration and getting my bags? also will they be able to help me get my bags? i'll be 6 months pregnant and will need some sort of help as my bags will be quite heavy.

JFK_Employee (not verified)

OK, the best way to meet each other is at Terminal 3 , area C( it is in the lower,basement lever at the terminal).
Delta started recently using Terminal 4 for some of their international flights, so check with them where exactly will be the flight arriving.
Your parents will not be allowed to go inside to help you with the bags(the area is restricted US customs area). Fortunately there are plenty of baggage handlers(we call them "skycab"), that will be around to help you.

Sam (not verified)

how do i get to the basement once i get there? i have a pet flying in my checked baggage as well so i have to pick him up too. i guess they'll bring him right out to me at the baggage carousel. im just worried because i dont have an American cell phone to be able to call them once i land. hopefully everything will go smooth and ill be ok.

JFK_Employee

You will be in the basement once you arrive at T3 - that is where everybody goes through customs.The airline representatives will bring the pet to you at the baggage claim.

I am flying with two kids and I'll be on terminal 3 at jfk just wanted to know whts the easiest way to get terminal 4 from terminal 3 ,any smart ideas??

Chippy (not verified)

The best way is to ditch your kids at Terminal 3. They have a tendency to slow down adult travelers significantly. Next, walk to terminal 4 through the door marked "ground maintenance, authorized personnel only." It’s a short 2 minute walk.

Happy travels.

My 15 yr old daughter will be traveling alone via delta next week with a 1 hr layover between flights - both delta. Planning on unaccompanied minor service through Delta. Safe? Appreciate any info/experiences.

I have a delta flight tomorrow morning at 9am going to Montreal. Both JFK and Delta.com indicate Terminal 3 but also Gate 25. This is really odd because Gate 25 is in Terminal 2. Anyone know what the deal is here?

thanks...

Delta Airlines should be ashamed of the state of Terminal 3 and their part of Terminal 4.

The roof leaks, its dirty, it is MAJORLY overcrowded during the busy hours-I'm talking a serious safety hazard.

Will not fly Delta because of this. If I need to go somewhere, American Airlines will take good care of me.

Call the airline directly. I got a straight answer from them this morning. They will also help you reschedule your flight if necessary.

I am picking up my boyfriend this afternoon who will be arriving at terminal 3. I've never driven to this airport before! I'm planning on waiting in the cell phone lot, but will it be relatively easy to pick him up at the terminal when he's ready? Would it save me a headache to have him take the airtrain to the "kiss and fly" lot and get him there?
Thanks!

Anonymous (not verified)

Yes. Make sure he's waiting at the curb before you pull up because the traffic controllers won't let you park your car in front of the terminal for more than a few seconds.

My 17 year old son is taking a separate flight from me and arriving at JFK 3 hours before me.

Can anyone tell me where at Terminal 3 he can wait for us? Is there a Starbucks or a cafe?

Thanks for any help.

There is always an information desk in every terminal. Can't go wrong with meeting there.

On the 15th of Dec I'll be arriving in JFK from overseas @ 3.25pm in terminal 3 with just a carry on, I'm an American citizen and would like to know if I'll be able to make my connection flight @ 5.10pm departing from terminal 3. It's my first time travelling alone and don't want to get stuck in JFK. Also does anyone know if I would be allowed to bring a PS2 slim in my carry on or not.

Anonymous (not verified)

the only reason you wouldn't make it would be if you landed late. it should not be a problem with 1h45min inbetween. and a ps2 slim should be fine. you may just have to have it scanned separately like a laptop when going through the security checkpoint.

I have two young people with no travel experience arrive on Turkish Airlines at JFK terminal 1. They will need to go to terminal 3.

1. how far is apart are terminals 1 & 3?

2. since they will have to get all their luggage for customs clearance and then check in their luggage for onward domestic flt, does the luggage come to them at terminal 1 and for customs clearance and do they then carry luggage to terminal 3 to check it again domestic?

I appreciate feedback and helpful tips. I have heard too many horror stories about transit @ JFK!

Thank you

Anonymous (not verified)

I called the airport, and they said that you have to carry your bags with you to the terminal. You can take AirTran from 1 to 3 terminal - so it will not be a problem to carry your bags. But where do you check your bags in for a domestic flight I don't know - probably where will be your departure gate. Good luck.

I have had the same problem trying to meet up with my pick up van to take me to long term off site parking.

I have been taking the only flight that exists between NYC and Nice, France, operated by Delta, in partnership with Air France, many times, over the past 7 years. There is always a problem, being picked up by a friend with a car or by a car service, when I arrive at Terminal 3 JFK. There is a place at the arrivals area, for Yellow Taxis and for buses and inter-airport shuttles, but cars can't go there. They either have to park and meet the arriving passenger on foot and help carry the luggage to the parking, or they have to go to the departure area with the car and the arriving passenger has to go upstairs from arrivals to departures. This causes problems for the passengers, the drivers and the other people who are actually dropping off for departure. I would like information on what people are supposed to do, or at least, whom to contact - airport? airline? terminal? to improve this situation.

Delta's staff at JFK is represented by a group of rude people. Who in a clear mind hired both of you and even paying you wages?
Why you declined to assist that 72-y.o. lady?! Her flight arrived at JFK with 1.5 hour delay due to the engine failure. She had an hour till her connecting international flight. She paid additional fee for her wheel chair service. One of you pointed her to a different terminal (good luck getting there yourself when you are her age); another one, her former countryman, was unbelievably rude to her.

If you can't take a good care of your engines, don't proceed any further. Without your pilots all of you are nonsense. Delta's ground service at JFK is a passenger's worst nightmare. You are aiming too far south for a status of number one international airline in the U.S.

I'm going to fly Delta from Incheon airport(Seoul, South Korea), and transfer at JFK to fly JET BLUE to go to Boston(final destination). What I want to know is that how long it will take me to work it out. Apparently I only have 2h 15mins layover.
I know it depends on the airport condition, but just to say in general, is it enough time to reclaim my baggage and check them again. How long dese it take for most situation? I've never have a experience with Jetblue. so just help me with a clear answer, please.

Anonymous (not verified)

Hello, You are flying from ICN to JFK on Delta. You will be going from Terminal #3 to Terminal #5 (Jetblue or B6 )
Take the skytrain (free) that is available between terminals. 2 1/2 hrs. is sufficient time.
Jetblue is wonderful, they are very efficient.

Anonymous (not verified)

2 hours is berely enough to transfer from Delta to JFK terminal with consideration of US Customs check point. I would check in my baggage all the way to Boston to save some time.

I have an aged relative traveling on Delta flight with a transit at JFK Terminal 3. How large is this terminal? How does one get from one gate to another within this Terminal (walk, shuttle...?)? Is it easy to find the gates? Is it possible to find out beforehand which gate the flight will arrive at and which one the connecting flight will leave from? Will the airport provide any assistants to help my relative to the right gate? Appreciate comments from anyone who knows. Thanks.

Anonymous (not verified)

The terminal isn't very large, but the walk can be rather far if you need to go between terminal 3 and terminal 2. Delta is pretty good at having helpful people at the gate as you deplane; it's easy to ask for directions and assistance. In fact, you can usually ask a flight attendant on the plane before you get off.

Hi, I'm going to pick up my parents and brother from a Delta flight arriving from Los Angeles. I don't want to be late to pick them up but if I get there early and I don't want to pay for parking, is it possible to circle around or stop somewhere to wait?
