our flight from Paris - Air France arrives at 3:45pm. Do we have enough time to get through customs to our flight to Charlotte - US Airways - Terminal 7 departing at 5:50pm or should I book a later flight.

I am flying from JFK in late July. I am now able to travel 10 days earlier. If I come to the gate agent at the baggage check can I get on an earlier flight if there are seats open?
thanks!

We arrive into terminal 3 via Delta Connection, leave out of terminal 7 via Icelandair, how do we get between the two terminals? We will be traveling for two months, so we will have 4 large suitcases.

Hi

We are arriving in New York from Amsterdam at 3:25pm New York Time. We are trying to book a flight to Austin, TX. But how much time do we have to have between these two flights? Is it possible to take the 5:50pm flight??

Please help

You should be able to make that flight at 5:50. Hurry to get through immigration. Flights to Austin after 5:50 pm. go overnite. We live in Austin and will be arriving from Kiev at 5 pm, hence must spend the night at JFK.
Good luck and welcome to Austin. A wonderful city.

Hi,
I'm flying San Diego to JFK to Paris all on American Airlines on Monday June 15th. The only thing is that my layover in JFK is 41 minutes long in Terminal 8 (arrive 5:04pm Gate 3, depart 5:45pm Gate 39). I was advised to not check in luggage since it probably wouldn't make the plane transfer in time.
-So I should not check in a bag?
-Also, will I have to go through security again to get to my next flight?
-Does anyone know how long before an American Airlines international flight that boarding ends and they close the door to the plane?
-Should I call AA to let them know ahead of time of my tight schedule or would they already know I'm just getting off a plane in Terminal 8?
Thanks! (hoping I make the flight..)

I would ask AA about that b/c I dont think a 41min connection time will be enough for you to run to baggage claim then back through international security. Personally, would check the bag & let AA worry about it (& if the bag does not make the connection, it is AAs responsibility to get it to you). Rather than missing your flight & paying extra fees to hop on the next flight out.

I´m flying from LA and arriving JFK at 15.00, to terminal 4. My international flight is leaving from terminal 8 at 17.40.

Is this 2 h 40 min. to change planes too short???

I was told that I don´t need to pick up my luggage at JFK at all, that they are put straight through towards my final destination, so do I go straight to terminal 8 and is there a "Transfer" desk or do I need to go to the check-in again?

HI
I am arriving at Terminal 8 and need to get to Terminal 4 within 1 .5 hours.
Please advise which is the easiest fastest way to get to Terminal 4.

Anonymousa (not verified)

Take the bus - it will take you terminal 4 - it goes around in circles.

No big deal if you have 1.5 hours.

Good Luck.

AA1 (not verified)

Take the air train. It's free from terminal to terminal. Should take about 10 mintues tops.

I have several locations within JFK that require customer service evaluations. These are in Terminals 3, 7, and 8. If you have some extra time while you are waiting for your flight, or after you return, please contact me right away.

We pay $8 for each report, which is entered online and reimburse up to $5 for a small required purchase.

Thanks in advance!

A team of 7 of us will be travelling to Kenya this summer. We have an 10.5 hr. layover at JFK. Is there anything to do in the area around the airport in that time? We must be cautious of NYC traffic in order to make our next flight. We arrive on a Monday at 6 A.M. on Delta and need to leave on Northwest at 4:30 P.M.
Any suggestions? or just bring a good book??? I hate to be in New York and not see anything but the airport!!

We have clients, a grp of about 15 pax, who will be arriving by AA at T8 and departing JAL T1 on August 31, 2009. Their connecting time is one hour and 40 mins.

Is this enough time & where is the shuttle from T8 to T1 and how long does it take and what is the frequency.

They arrive at 11:30 & depart at 13:10.

I will be travelling from JFK to India in Mar09. My passport has lastname as my maiden name. But after marriage i prefer to use my husband's name as last name. I have the marriage certificate with me which was issued by indian government. While booking the ticket with Jetairways online i have given my last name as my husband's name bcoz my credit card which i used for booking has my husband's name as lastname. Will this be an issue while travelling? Will the TSA officials allow me if carry my marriage certificate(is in english) with me? Please clarify me.

judy (not verified)

your passport name MUST match your ticket name. Call your airline as soon as possible and get advice. You may need to get re-ticketed. Better to learn this now rather than at the airport.

Passport has to match your ticket.
