Hello...! I have flight from Cairo to JFK in Egyptair well my departure is at Monday, May 31, 2010 10:20 am and my arrival at 3:15pm in terminal 4 .Next I have another flight in DL to Tampa Florida at 7:05 pm .Time between my flights is 3:50 hours and I have to go from terminal 4 to terminal 3 .Could you please till me the steps I well do and how can I find help in JFK?. Are there in JFK I well be check my bags or not ?

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). Look for connecting flight counter of Egyptair(right after customs) for transferring you bags.

Planning a Saturday flight on Virgin Atlantic to London Heathrow. Never flown out of JFK. How long will it take to go through security and check-in? How long to go through customs on the way back (from London)? Would it be less hectic/crowded and less chance of flight delay if went from Newark instead? Thanks.

JFK_Employee

Prepare yourself for at least 30min. to go through security at Terminal 4,JFK(it depends on the time of flying). Clearing customs at Terminal 4, JFK could take you somewhere between 30 min to 1.5 hours , depends on the activity in there. I do not have info on how easy would be that task at Newark.

Hello does anybody have an idea how long would it take to go through custom and immigration if flight arrive on Tuesday at 5:00 pm? I will need to catch a flight with Delta at 7:30 pm do you know if this will be at terminal 3? Thanks

JFK_Employee (not verified)

It depends on which airline(Terminal) you are traveling. Expect min 30 min. which may extend to 2 hours for busy Terminals. Delta operates out of 3 terminals now - Terminal 2, Terminal 3 and Terminal 4, depending on your destination.

Oregon30

arriving with Aeroflot at 5:00 pm connection flight will be at 7:30 pm Delta airline to PDX, any info in witch terminal would it be than? also to get my boarding pass for Delta after clearing immigration and customs where could I do this?

Thank you very much for your help

JFK_Employee (not verified)

Aeroflot is arriving at Terminal 1. At that time is pretty busy at T1 so expect 30 min to 1 hour to go through immigration and customs. Hope Aeroflot flight will be on time. Delta to PDX will be at Terminal 2 or 3. Not to worry - those two terminals are connected and they are located just next to Terminal 1 ( 5 min walking distance).
Once you pass immigration and customs, there is "Connecting flights" counter, where you may transfer your bags and obtain your Delta boarding pass. Exit Terminal 1, walk to your right to the next building and up the ramp to the second floor - that would be Delta, Terminal 2. Go through security check-point and look at your boarding pass for the gate number.Enjoy your flight!!!

Hi, I change my flight date to the 7th of March I'll be arriving on Aerosvit, do you know what terminal this flight arrive? and than how to get to Delta to catch my next flight to PDX at 7:30 pm that same day?

JFK_Employee

Aerosvit is arriving at T4. Take Airtrain for one stop to T2/T3, where Delta is located.

I think Delta charge $25 dollars for the first piece of luggage than $35 for the second one. am I going to be able to pay this in terminal 2/3? or do I need to go out and do it on the Delta counter and than go back to the terminal 2/3 ? Thanks in advance.

JFK_Employee

You can clear those details at Delta counter at T4, just look for it in arrivals hall.

You must follow signs for the "AirTrain." It is a free shuttle train that runs between terminals.

How long does it take between terminal 4 and terminal 7?

Anonymous

The AirTrain runs between 5-10 mins. It takes no more than 3 mins to arrive to the next immediate terminal but you must consider the walk from the AirTrain to the check-in counters or to the security screening area. So if you are connecting to another flight I would be a bit more concerned about the security line than the AirTrain. In addition you can not walk from terminal 4 to terminal 7.

I will be arriving at T5 by Emirates airlines at 14:15 and I have a connection flight by jet blue on T5 departure at 05:00 PM...

1) how to get from T 4 to T 5?

2) is 2 hours enough to finish the immigration procedures , collect luggage , move to and check in at T5?

3) or would you recommend taking a later flight and give my self more time ?

Thank you very much for your time;)

To get from T4 to T5 you would take the Airtrain, which is free and circles the entire airport. Once you come through customs and are at the arrival area, you will see signs for the Airtrain that you can't miss. The Airtrain travels in both directions, just be sure to travel in the direction to T5, otherwise you will have a tour of the entire airport! It generally takes about 15 minutes for a full circle of JFK. Once on the Airtrain, actual travel between neighboring terminals is only about 5 minutes, but you have to wait for it, and the number of passengers means you may have to wait for the next car to arrive.

It generally takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from the time you airplane hits the ground to the time you are at arrivals, but this greatly depends on such factors as weather and whether you are traveling at peak times. It also greatly depends upon which line through customs you use (i.e. US Citizens move far quicker than foreigners). If you are a foreign national, I would give yourself at least 3 hours for your connection flight. But if you are a citizen, you should have enough time with your current schedule, but if not, give yourself more time to be safe.

My flight reaches T4 at 11am, but the connection flight is at 9pm. How shall I spend the 10 hours? Is there any city tour or something to keep me occupied? Please Help!!!

Christova (not verified)

There are tours available in NYC, but two things you need to consider. First, to get to Manhattan from JFK, you need at least 45 minutes to an hour travel time, and it is $50.00 one way (plus tolls). The traffic to JFK and from JFK is usually ridiculously busy, and your best bet is to take public transportation from Jamaica station. But if you do not know the NYC transport system, then I think you should avoid that idea as it can be quite complicated. Another consideration is what are you going to do with your luggage while you are touring around? If you are on a connection flight, the airline may hold it for you, but overseas arrivals have to check their luggage through customs and then drop it for the connecting flight. If your airline is not checking your bags through, then you have a problem because the domestic flight may not let you check in so many hours in advance. You can ask the skycaps if they have some means of holding your luggage for you if you pay a fee, but again you are taking your chances. The bottom line is 10 hours seems like a very long time, but with all the complications, and presuming your primary concern is completing your travel without incident, your best bet is to enjoy what the airport has to offer, and buy yourself a day pass at one of the many airlines executive clubs (US Airways for example, has a $50 day pass) to while away the hours you are waiting.
