Hi
I'll be arriving from Washington DC by AA to Terminal 8 at 10.20pm and need to catch the American Airlines flight to Toronto Pearson from Terminal 8 departing at 11.20pm.
Will I have enough time for that? Thanks in advance.
(Oh, and I'm not an American citizen, I'm Italian. I don't know if that can influence the controls.)

Very tight. My understanding is that both flights are with the same airline. Make sure in DC your bags are checked all the way through and make sure you have boarding passes printed out. Both flights take place at the same terminal so it is just a matter of walking distance from one gate to the next without clearing security. If you arriving flight is late you are out of luck and may not make it to your connecting flight.

I come from Barcelona to JFK T8 in the flight AA67 and connect with the flight AA1775 T8 to Miami, espected connection time 1h 45min, it is sufficient?, is it necessary control of customs and immigration between both flights?
thanks

Yes you will clear both once you arrive in the U.S. Your time frame should be enough to make it as long as your arriving flight is on time.

We are planning on traveling from Helsinki to Miami via JFK. How much time do we need at the JFK to clear customs and immigartions and check our bags? We arrive to and depart from terminal 8. And on the way home we have to switch terminals from 8 to 2, what is the estimated time we need for that? AirTrain must be the way to go? Thanks!

Go on an air train take it on track 2 from T8 to T2. About two minute for you to do that. Customs and Immigration may take you up to an hour.

I'm arriving at Jfk terminal 8 at 12:30 pm by Am Airlines. I have to take a flight to Los Angeles with Am Airlines at 1:45 pm in the same terminal.... Have I enough time to do that?

It will be extremely tight especially coming from international to domestic flight. I would suggest allow a longer time frame between the flights.

About 40 minutes for immigration and customs. From terminal 8 take train on track 2 to terminal 2. About 3 minutes for you to do that.

I'm scheduled to arrive at 4:50 on AA from Europe, need to clear customs and get to T5 for a 7pm flight. Is it feasible to clear customs and make the train over to T5 and keep to that schedule? Appreciate your input.

Yes.

Hi I'd like to know where exactly should I wait for an internataional arriving passenger (JetAirways) once they get past the customs.

To be clear, I'd like to know if there is one single gate/door/waiting area right after the custom's clearance in Terminal 8?

Yes there is on single exit for passengers clearing Terminal 8 Customs. It is called Terminal 8 arrivals hall.

You can check your luggage as long as your airlines open up their check in desk.
