what is the best way to T1(china estern) from T5(jetblue)? how many hours I need to take into consideration bewteen? Thanks.
Take the JFK AirTrain from JetBlue (T5) to
Terminal 1(T1) for $5. Twenty to 30-minutes the most.
Or, hop into a NYC Taxi outside Terminal 1 and give the driver $8-10.

Hi,
My parents are stuck in traffic in Lincoln tunnel and they have flight from lufthansa from terminal 1 at 5: 40 pm, My parents are going for really urgent work, and they must take this flight. Is there a way to tell the lufthansa counter at terminal 1 if they could allow my parents to check in. My parents will reach there before 5:40 pm but airlines usually close check in before. My parents do not have any luggage to check in. Is there any way that my parents don't miss this flight. Can somebody help me with this. The ticket is non-refundable.
I'll be grateful.
Thanks.
