Too early to know where and when the hurricane will go. Check with your airline for any weather-related updates regarding your flight.
I'm flying from Richmond International with JetBlue on 9/11/10, and I have to connect at JFK (my flight departs to O'Hare, which is my destination.) This will be the first time I have flown alone, and I'm flying with my 1 year old daughter. She is flying with me as a lap infant. I'm carrying 1 suitcase as a checked bag. I have a few different flight related questions.
1- When I land at JFK, what will happen to my baggage between RIC/JFK/ORD?
2- Will I be allowed to fly with her diaper bag and my carry-on? She is still on powdered formula.
3- I need to fly with an umbrella stroller (one of the small strollers; no frills, just a simple, thin, small fold-up). What are the restrictions there, and will I be able to carry that? It is a needed "assistive device" with her.
1- You flying on one airline both flights so most likely Jet Blue will check your bag all the way through. Which means you don't have to deal with it at JFK. Double check this with Jet Blue at RIC.
2- Yes, most airlines allow you to carry two items on the plane
3- The stroller is usually checked free as a "baby item". The exception here is that you can check the stroller at the gate(since you will need it).
And the stroller will be delivered to you at the time of disembarking the plane.

Just asking to clarify, that way I'm not confused.
Once I check my bag in at RIC, I won't need to deal with nor see it again until I pick it up at ORD, correct?
When I go to board the plane at RIC and JFK, they take the stroller, and I get it from them when I leave the plane at my destinations, correct?
Sorry, just want to make sure I understand clearly.
That is correct on your first question - you won't need to deal with your bags till your final destination.
It is slightly different story with the stroller though.
Since it is a "baby-item" and you may need it during your lay-over at JFK, that is why it will be given to you at the time of leaving the airplane at JFK. You have to check it in at the gate when you take your second flight and again it will be given to you at the gate when you leave the plane at the final destination.

So, they just check it before I board my second flight or do I have to deal with security again?
You don't have to deal with security again - just have the gate agent check it before your second flight.

I am supposed to pick up someone arriving on a jetblue flight. Your site says Terminal 5 is closed. Which terminal do the JetBlue flights arrive at?
We will be arriving by 'Emirates' in Terminal 4 and will be going for onward travel in Jetblue.
How do we transfer our baggage for check-in to Jetblue flight at Terminal 5 ?
Can we drop our luggaages at the transfer counter at terminal 4 ?
Jet Blue does not have baggage transfer agreement with Emirates . Take your bags with you over to T5 and check them in there.

My kids are coming in from TPA on Saturday, but according to this the JetBlue Terminal is closed where would I go to pick them up, what terminal?
Hi,
I am arriving at JFK terminal 1 from Raleight/Durham, with JetBlue 12.10 on the 19th of August and catching a connecting flight to Iceland, with Icelandair, teminal 7, 14.05. I only have 1 hour and 55 minutes between the flights. I was wondering if you think I will be able to catch my connecting flight, and if I have to recheck my bags, do immigration, customs, etc. Does Jet Blue have a baggage transfer agreement with Icelandair?
In other words, what is entailed from the time I get off my flight to getting on the connecting flight? What is the quickest/easiest way to get between these terminals?
Thanks alot.
Jet Blue does not have a baggage agreement with Iceland Air, so you have to pick up your bags and check them in at Terminal 7 with Iceland Air.
No immigration/customs involved in your case.
If you manage to get your bags , let's say within 25-30 min at Jet Blue(absolutely possible) , you will be able to make the second flight.
Take Airtrain on the third floor of T5, on track 1 and get off next stop(T7). The whole transfer will take you no more than 10-15 min. Make sure you are at Iceland Air check-in counter at least 1 hour prior.

I will be arriving at Terminal 1 with an international Alitalia flight at 1:55PM, and I have a connection; a JetBlue flight that leaves at 4:45PM. Taking into consideration that I am not a US citizen and will have two checked-in baggages, will I be able to make it? I would really appreciate any help as I haven't bought the JetBlue tickets yet. Thank you.
If your Alitalia flight is on time arriving you will have almost three hours between flights which is plenty of time to clear customs and go to terminal 5-Jet Blue.
Hallo, I dont know how to go from terminal 1 to terminal 5, would you advice the shortest and easiest way with luggages? Thanks
Take Airtrain on the third floor of T1, on any track. T5 is three stops away.

My wife and 2 small children will be arriving at Terminal 3 from Prague tomorrow and then have to move to Terminal 5 to take Jet Blue. The flights are not connected so she will have to move a lot of luggage by herself between terminals. What is the best way, will a smart cart be allowed to go between terminals, or is there otherwise any help available? She will not be able to manage the children and all the suitcases without at least a cart at the minimum. Please advise. Thank you.
The best way for her is to take a taxi from T3 to T5 - it will cost her no more than $10. She can also put her bags on luggage cart and take the Airtrain(which is free) to T5. The problem here is that she has to push the cart up a hill(ramp) while going from T3 international arrivals to the Airtrain station.

Hi,
I am arriving at JFK (for the first time) from BUF and catching a connecting flight to TPA. I only have 45 minutes between the flights, both JetBlu ... it's a morning flight on a Friday. I was wondering if you think I will be able to catch my connecting flight, and if I have to recheck my bags, do immigration, customs, etc. In other words, what is entailed from the time I get off my flight to getting on the connecting flight? THanks alot.
No customs,immigration involved when you are traveling domestic flights only. The time frame that you have is enough(assuming the BUF flight is on time). Jet Blue should check all your bags through the final destination so you don't have to pick them up at JFK. After you disembark the plane from BUF just look for the gate number for your next flight to TPA. No TSA clearance necessarily .

Hello,
According to my ticket my flight leaves at Terminal 5 with Jet Blue, but this site says that the terminal isn't yet open and my collegues tell me terminal 4 is jet blue's terminal.. IS terminal 5 my departure terminal??
I am arriving on JetBlue from West Palm at 11:45 a.m. and connecting to a Delta international flight scheduled from Terminal 4 at 4:00 p.m. Am I correct in my assumption that this time frame will give me enough time to collect my luggage and make the connection? And if so, what is the quickest/easiest way to get between these terminals?
The time window that you have is more than plenty. Take Airtrain from T5, on track 2 to T3.

Hi,
I'd like to store a suitcase as I'm flying to Miami with Jetblue (terminal 5) and will be back to JFK 5 days later on transit to fly back to Australia with Qantas (terminal 7)
Where can I store the lugage and is there any transport to and from each terminal, please give me advice as to how to do it the most efficient way. Thank you
Store your bags at Terminal 4 baggage storage. Use Airtrain on track 2 to move between the terminals. It is free between the terminals.

Hi my flight on tuesday 7/27 (jetblue) arrive at 7:06am and my international flight (avianca) terminal 4 depart at 8:00 am. Is it possible to make it in less than one hour?? What's the faster way I can take to get from terminal 5 to terminal 4. Thank you
The time is not enough - most of the airlines will close the check-in 1 hour prior to departure.
Jet Blue does not have a baggage transfer agreement with Avianca , so if you have bags to pick up it will further delay you.
The fastest way between those two terminals is to walk, but it will still take ~10 mins.

Hi, I am wondering if Jetblue's T5 still has a Boars Head sandwhich shop in there. Thank You in Advance!

Hi we will be arriving in NY at 19.40hours on the 3rd Sept from FRANKFURT on flight no LH0404. Are there any weather warnings so far that might delay the flights and landing in New York? We are noticing that some hurricanes may hit the US East Coast and were wondering whether this will cause delays.
