I am arriving on Delta, Terminal 3, and I assume I have to get my luggage from arrival, then go to Terminal 8 to check in at LAN, go thru security again and depart on LAN for Argentina. I booked the airline flights this way separately as there were no connections/flights to JFK and then to Argentina.
Have I created a nightmare? there are 4 hrs between arrival/departure flights at JFK.
I need to get from terminal 5 to terminal 7 - how long will it take me and is there a shuttle of some sort?

Dear JFK Specialist:
Can I enter at terminal 2 to check my bags even if I have a flight that leaves from terminal 3?
I understand that terminal 2 and 3 are connected and that it doesn't matter which terminal I use.
Is that correct?
My doughter has a tickets for February 11 flying from Moscow to IAD via JFK, flights DL 31 and DC 4127. Could you, please, advize me to which terminal arrives DL 31 and from which terminal departs DC 4127.
Thank you.
My understanding all lockers at all airports has been removed since 9-11. We will have carry-on bags we do not want to take with us on our 6hours layover for a quick tour of WTC on our return flight from Italy to Seattle.
My questions, does American Airlines at Terminal 8 at the customer desk or baggage claim can "babysit" our carry-on bags for a few hours? If not, any suggestions?
Unfortunately not. You will have to carry your own luggage.

Can anyone instruct me how and which train (subway) that will lead us to World Trade Center from JFK Terminal 8? We have 6 hours layover from Italy to Seattle on our return flight. We would like to pay respect at the Memorial WaterPark at WTC.

Hi I am going to take a plane from HK and arrive JFK at 10am on a Saturday. I have to catch a train which departs from Penn Station to Charlottesville in Virginia at 1415. Do I have enough time?
There is an airtrain (it runs about every 5 minutes or so) that is connected to all of the terminals at JFK and then brings you to the Long Island Railroad Station in Jamaica. From there you can get a connection right into Penn Station. You should have plenty of time if your flight isn't delayed.

Hello, I am arriving from HKG on Cathay Pacific at 6:10am in terminal 7 and leave from terminal 4 (Copa Airlines) at 9:05am. Is this enough time? Do I have to go through immigrations and customs and security? Thank you.
Hi:
We will be travelling from Prague (under the Visa Waiver Programme) to Raleigh, NC, transfering at JFK. We will have 2:05 hours between the two flights to get through immigration and customs and since we are travelling with a one year old baby, I am wondering if this will be enough. I have cheched the map and it seems that we should both arrive and depart from gate 3, but does that even matter? Where exactly is the customs located? Should we apply for Global Entry? I wasnt able to find it on the map. Also, will we have to claim and recheck our luggage if the connecting flight was booked and bought together with the international one? Thank you for any relevant info.

I'm landing from Brussels at 1240 at Terminal 8. I need to make a 1420 connection from Terminal 3. After going through immigration and customs, will i have adequate time to make the transfer to Terminal 3 and how do I go to Terminal 3?
It is little tight but if your arriving flight is o time then you will make it.

I hope this is not a duplicate posting as I thought I just posted this. Due to a problem which UAL was not aware of regarding boarding passes at Egypt Air, we have a problem. We arrive at UAL gate in terminal 7 at 4:40. We need to get our boarding passes from EA by 5:30 in terminal 4.
Question: which track to we take to get from 7 to 4 and how long is the ride? I know we are in trouble but perhaps all will work--UAL early, train waiting for us, etc. Thanks for the advice. This is tomorrow
I have a flight from Dub, Ireland with Delta landing at 14.10, with a connection to Toronto,Canada at 15.15 also with Delta. I will have already cleared customs and immigration in Dublin. Is this enough time for transfer? Will I have to collect and drop my bags and be security screened again or can I just go from one flight to the other?
Should be enough as long as your arriving flight is on time.

I am arriving at Terminal 8 onboard Qatar Airlines at 2:10 (14:10)with a connecting flight out of Terminal 4 at 4:55 (16:55). I have 2 hours and 45 minutes to clear Imigrations, collect my luggage, clear Customs, catch the tram, arrive at Terminal 4, Check in and re-check my luggage. Is that enough time? Would I be better off if I hired a porter to assist me with my luggage? I am worried that if I miss my flight, I may not be able to get another one out that day because many of the flights are fully bookked.
