To stay all night in the airport
Hi, I'm arriving to NY on December 6th in the evening, and I would like to know please if I can stay all night in the airport. That's because I need to meet with my friends that arrive next day (December 7th) in the morning to leave the airport and take the train with them to travel to Rutland. Thanks
Hi, I'm arriving to New York
Hi, I'm arriving to New York on December 6th in the evening and I have to take the train on December 7th to travel to Rutland. Because of that, I would like to know, please, if it's allowed to stay all night in the airport until the morning because other friends are going to arrive on December 7th and I have to go with them to the station. Thanks

Someone knows if JFK's duty free is open 24/h?
I have family coming from
I have family coming from Hungary on American Airlines, coming into JFK. They have 1hr 15min to go through customs and catch their connecting flight to Cleveland, again using American Airlines. Where will they go, to go through customs? Is there a customs port in Terminal 8? It seems like American Airlines comes and goes from Terminal 8 (is that right?), and we're wondering if they're going to have enough time to go through customs and get on their connecting flight in and hour and fifteen minutes...they're a family of 4.
Dissappointing travel experience- again
JFK offers more flights and more direct flights, but the travel experience at the airport remains a failure. I flew into JFK on Friday from Venice. Leaving the plane, you are routed down a long tube that leads to a connection where security wants you to wait due to multiple planes all being routed to one escalator (people have connections or are traveling into the city). Who designed this? Have the people who run JFK not been thru other airports? Then, following passport control, you exit underground. The transporation is a mess, to park or to get out of the airport.
My advice is to not fly into NY airports if you can help it. The mangement should check their service vs. other international airports.
How about a welcoming experience to the end of a long flight?

Delta Shuttle
Hi, I have a Delta airlines flight, from Chicago to Barcelona, with a stopover in La Guardia to JFK of 3h 30min of duration. It's possible to go from La Guardia airport to JFK in this time?? I'm not sure about this... Thanks

Yes, it's possible; the
Yes, it's possible; the transfer should take no more than one hour. And if you are traveling on a paid ticket -- as opposed to a frequent-flyer award ticket -- DL's contract of carriage requires DL to pay for the LGA-JFK transfer. Check with DL Customer Service at LGA after you claim your checked baggage.
changing terminal

question
My elderly parents will be arriving on the Royal Jordanian to Terminal four and then they will be traveling via American Airline to Pittsburgh (from terminal 8 I assume). May I please know in detail the steps they have to follow from the time they reach terminal 4 to the moment their plane departs to Pittsburgh? They are elderly and I'd like to prepare them for what to expect. Thank you so much for your help.

Security
I am thinking to fly into JFK on Jet Blue then catchg a Delta flight to Greece. Not checking luggage, do I have to go back thorugh security if I have pre checked in for my Delta flight?
If I fly Delta to JFK I have a 1.25 hr lag between flights. The Jet Blue flight would give me 2.5 hr's so I prefer to have more time. But, if I am having to go to different terminals and /or go through security the extra time may not help. Whats't the best way?

If you fly JetBlue into JFK,
If you fly JetBlue into JFK, you will have to change terminals and go through security at the DL terminal. If you fly DL into JFK, you might or might not have to change terminals, depending on which of DL's JFK terminals you fly into and which of DL's JFK terminals you fly out of.
