Could you please tell me what terminal CORSAIR Airlines takes off from? Also, could you please tell me when BRITISH AIRWAYS will be moving from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8? Finally, could you please tell me when Terminal 7 is scheduled for demolition and the new Terminal 7 will be built?

Port authority personnel called me and told me that I left my luggage and he said he will bring it to terminal 8 lost and found office. Can someone tell me where that is and what number can I call to make arrangements to pick it up? Thank you.

I was waiting for a pick-up at T7 and was watching the tv monitors at the Welcome Center to pass the time. I am an avid skier and know Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain very well. I noticed that some of the footage was not filmed in NY but either in Colorado or Europe when panning the views. Could this be false advertising? Let's not mislead the first time tourists to beleive that the Catskills look anything like what is portrayed.
