Hello,
I'm flying from Toronto through Terminal 8 at JFK to LAX and then on to Shanghai. I arrive at JFK at 8am and leave for LAX a 1030am. Will I need to go through Customs and recheck luggage? Or can I just go through as I'm just transiting through the U.S.? Thanks!

You will clear that at Toronto Airport. Your bags should be clipped to your final destination. You will just transit through U.S and clearing Customs in Canada.

I have a client flying CUN-JFK on AA, connecting to an El Al flight that leaves at 1150pm. I can get him to JFK a 950pm and I see that minimum connecting time I-I is 1:15. Is there anything else I should think about? He shouldn't have to do immigration & customs if he's just connecting, should he?

If he is leaving the U.S to Israel he doesnt have to clear Immigration and Customs. 2 hours should be enough to make that connection.

Yes you will have to recheck your bags since you are clearing Immigration and Customs and arriving from outside the U.S.

Arrive at Terminal 8 at 7:55 a.m. (AEagle) - is it possible to make it to Terminal 3 (Delta) in time for a 9:15 departure? No customs required.

Cat Jack was lost in JFK airport in NYC on Aug 25th.
He disappeared from the baggage area at JFK Terminal 8 at approx. 6:00 pm where he was supposed to be shipped along with his mate on AmericanAirlines flight 1779.

The supervisor for the inbound baggage area is Anthony Gallo.
...the tags for the cats and the bags were as followed

AA 60 11 93 (cat)
AA 60 11 94 (cat)
AA 60 11 98 (bag)
AA 60 11 99 (bag)

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Do you know someone who works for American Airlines?
Do you know someone who works at JFK?
-> please bring this case to their attention

Will you fly through JFK and/or be at the American terminal??
-> inquire about the case to get AA to respond

Call AA at JFK
-> lost & found 718-487 5501
-> security 718-6564333

General #
-> American AA (800) 433-7300

Got other ideas?? fabulous!
-> post them to these links
