I will arrive at JFK from Montreal via Delta 30 minutes before my daughter arrives from Toronto. I'd like to meet up with her before going through customs. Do you think it is a good idea to plan to meet at a baggage carousel of Terminal 3? Or is it possible that we might end up in different terminals, and so we should make plans to meet somewhere past customs?

Dear Sir,

We wil arrive at JFK on board flight KL641 and we would like to now if it's possible to make a connecting flight to MIA with AA flight nr AA613.

Brgds, Nico.

We are 3 guys travelling MCO-JFK-AMS with DL080 in a few days. One of us is using a wheelchair and we have to change planes at JFK. We only have 1:30hrs of transfer time. Is that enough time since all flights are Delta flights? Is it the same terminal? Do we have to take care of our luggage or will it go through? Thx in advance

JFK_Employee

Delta most likely will check all your bags all the way through. The time frame that you have is plenty(as long as MCO flight is not significantly late). Change of the terminal may be involved but inquire(as soon as you land) about the gate and if it is in different terminal use the Delta courtesy bus(either at gate 11 at T3 or at gate 19 at T2).

Thanks a lot for this information

Will I be able to wait in the Terminal 3 baggage claim area for 3 hours until my cruise line rep picks me up? Or will I be chased outside once I retrieve my bags?

Is there a better place to wait after picking up my luggage? Are there seats there or a restaurant?

Thanks for the help!

JFK_Employee

You won't be chased outside after you pick up your bags. There are seating places there, restaurants are scarce to find at any baggage pick-up area at JFK.

TK: I'm flying into JFK on the 2nd and have to change planes in terminal 3 to Nantucket on a small Delta plane. Are there helpful officials in Terminal 3? I have a 6 hour layover. I will be coming from Terminal 8. Thank you very much.

Can I drive by and pick up an arriving passenger?
How long should I allow to clear customs?

BG (not verified)

Best to park in the cell phone waiting lot, have your passenger call you when they are ready to be picked up and you can pick them up on the arrivals level. Customs generally takes 30-45 minutes.

Hello! I will be travelling for the first time with my 7 month old infant and will be arriving from LHR on KLM into terminal 3. I then have to go get my luggage, check in with the other airline (Delta) and go through security again as I bought a seperate flight from JFK to PDX. Am I able to book a porter or airport help to get us around?

MS (not verified)

Baggage handlers are available around the baggage belts and they will be able to help you.

I will be arriving at terminal 3 on Delta and the person I am meeting will be arriving at terminal 1 on Alitalia.
Is there a meeting area outside security at Terminal 1 that I can tell her to meet me at?

Thank you,
Amy

JFK_Employee

Terminal 1, first floor , by the Ground Transportation counter is a good place to meet. There are seating places behind the coffee shop which is in front of the counter.

Hi! On Saturday I'll leave NY to come back to Italy with Delta Airlines from terminal 3. Before the check-in, i'll have to register an additional hold baggage (the second one)and pay for it.
What's the desk designated to this service? Where can I find it at terminal 3? Is there generally a long queue?
Thank you for your kindness and availability

Vittoria

JFK_Employee

You can register the bag at the self-service kiosk either at Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. Pay for it either at the kiosk(with a credit card) or at the "bag drop" counter if it is cash.
Generally T3 has longer lines and I will suggest you to use T2 for that purpose. Be at the terminal at least 2 hours in advance since Delta has 1 hour cut-off time for check-in the bags.

Hi, I will be arriving at terminal 1 on august 26th in the morning and my girlfriend is scheduled to arrive at terminal 3 (that's what her ticket says) in a KLM flight from Sweden around 1 pm the same day. I was wondering what would be the best place to meet each other? should i take the aitrain and go to terminal 3 and wait for her past the security area or go outside the terminal and meet her there? is there a meeting point in the terminal?

thanks,

J

JFK_Employee

Go to Terminal 3, area C - that is where all the international arriving flights are at T3 .

My fiance is flying in to Terminal 3 from Amman Jordan and I have booked a return flight with him from JFK to FVA. I want to surprise him as he comes in, but I know he has to go through customs and check in for his US flight. Where is the best place to meet him at as he enters JFK?

JFK_Employee

What is FVA? If that flight is on Delta he might not come out of customs at all - Delta has a inside connection for all their connecting passengers.
If that flight is not Delta flight then the most convenient place to surprise him is as he comes out of US customs at Area C in Terminal 3.
JFK_E

JFK_Employee

I see from your other post that both of you are flying on Delta afterwards - then you can wait for him inside the terminal , at the departing gate.
JFK_E

sorry, im flying in from Fayetteville NC, i want to be able to meet him as soon as possible when he gets off the plane, but not sure where that will be at. He is flying in to Terminal 3 on Delta flight 33 at 0530 that morning according to his paperwork. And we fly out of Terminal 3, Delta flight 85 at 0815. if that helps.

JFK_Employee

International passengers arriving on Delta and connecting on Delta as well may exit through the customs exit(area C) or they may be rerouted through the inner connecting flights way - this is very tricky.
If you decide to wait for him at area C you may never see him if he takes the inside way.
To me the best option would be to meet him is at the gate(you will be able to get in the gate area since you will be flying with him and have a boarding pass) where flight 85 departs out of.
JFK_E

Ugh! When I get there and get to the gate area, shortly before his flight comes in, Will i be able to ask someone how they will be routing them through. He has to go check in for his flight out of JFK, bc he will not have any US boarding passes until he gets there. If that makes a difference.

JFK_Employee

He will be check-in downstairs, immediately after customs and you have no access there. So he will be arriving at the gate with his boarding pass. You can always ask somebody about the details.

Delta again is showing a flight landing into gate 74a. I was told in the past that gate 74a was a staging point on the runway before it reaches one of the terminals. Which terminal will this come into 2, 3 or 4. Flight 1994 from phoenix.

JFK_Employee

Flightstats.com and even delta.com show that the flight is arriving at gate 1 (which is T3). What is the source that shows you gate 74a?

hi, I arrived on terminal 3 and my connection flight is on terminal 4, both with Delta. So only way from term 3 to term 4 is with airtrain or exist any connection?? thnx

MS (not verified)

Take a bus from gate 11 at Terminal 3 - the connection is behind security, very convinient if you are ariving on domestic flight and connecting at T4.

I'll be arriving JFK on Delta from BOS at 1:15 PM; flight to Dublin departs that evening at 10:30 PM. First, can I check my luggage all the way through from Boston to Dublin? Or, if I have to re-check, where is the nearest storage area, as I'd like to go into NYC for the afternoon? Thanks for your help. this is a great service. Much appreicated.

JFK_Employee

I am sure Delta at BOS will check all your bags through. If they don't do that you can always recheck your bags at any Delta counter at JFK (T2,T3 or T4)as long as your departing flight is in less than 24 hours.

I am arriving (22 september) on a Delta flight from Copenhagen at 4:45 p.m. and must make a connection to a Delta flight at 7:35 p.m. to Orlando, FL. Will my luggage be transfered automatickly or must I recheck my luggage?

whatshisname (not verified)

You're going to have to recheck it.

MS (not verified)

You must take you luggage and go through US customs, then re-check it in at Delta counter located right after customs.

We would like to meet NYC friends during a 3 hour layover at JFK - we will be flying Delta so it will probably be terminal 3 that we will fly in and out of. Is there ANY food available outside security or is it all inside for ticketed passengers only?

JFK_Employee

Except Dunkin Donuts at area C , everything else is inside secured area. You can take Airtrain to T4 and use the food court which is big and outside security.

Terminal 4 - plenty of shops and stores to wonder around. Also Terminal 3 has a variety of shops and stores.

I'm Flying from Dublin to San Francisco via JFK on the 5th (Flights DL165 - arrives JFK 14:50 and Flight DL1565 departs JFK 17:55) and would like to know if i have to collect my bags and recheck them and if so how do i go about this? As far as i know i arrive and depart in the same terminal, does this simplify things?

JFK_Employee

You will be landing either at T3 or T4.
You will have to collect your bags at JFK. It is right after immigration and then you will go with them through US customs. Recheck the bags after that at Delta Connecting flights counter.

Your flight to SFO can be at different terminal(Delta has T2,T3 and T4). Any gate number that starts with letter("A" or "B") is at terminal 4, gates 19 and higher are at Terminal 2, gates 1-18 are at T3.
In case you land at T3:
T2 and T3 are connected; for T4 you have to go to gate 11 at T3 and get a shuttle that will take you to the "B" gates at T4.
In case you land at T4:
Go to the third floor and take Airtrain on track 2 to T2/3. It is only one stop(1 min free ride).

Are there any food stores to get some food for the flight? I do not want to purchase the airline's choices. Thank you

Plenty of them inside T2 and T3.

My company has booked me on Delta flights from Los Angeles to Kiev, Ukraine connecting through JFK. I have one hour and ten minutes to make the connection from the LA flight to the Kiev flight (both Delta). Assuming my flight from LA arrives at JFK on time, will I have time to make this connection? Are there any special International security screenings or distant gates to be concerned about?

Thanks,

David Dodson
Los Angeles

JFK_Employee

Assuming your LAX flight is on time - you will be just fine. Look for the gate number for the flight to Kiev after you disembark the plane at JFK. No special clearance, screening etc. needed. It will take you somewhere between 5-15 min to transfer to any possible Delta gate.
