Hi
I am traveling to Chennai from detroit via New york on dec 25th 2010.
i am booked on flight DL6443 from Detroit to New York (leaving detroit at 1110a.m and reaching new york at 1.05p.m. My connecing flight is Jet airways leaving New york at 6p.m to Chennai. Following are my questions.
1. Is the delta and jet airway terminal different.
2. If so is a time gap of five hours sufficient for connecting flight?
3. Do I have to go through security check once again at the New York terminal?
4. Can i carry a laptop, camera and video camcorder in the hand baggage?
Thank

I'm pregnant and I will travel to NYC 8th January. I don't want to be exposed to X-Ray. I will be pregnant since 7 weeks. Is there a risk? Can I refuse this kind of security system?
Thank U for your answers.

If you are selected for the AIT machine you can refuse and request a full body pat down instead. There is no risk but you should decide what's best. If you are not selected you have nothing to worry about.

Hi my wife and daughter (US Citizens) arrive from amstradem at JFK (T4) @ 1:05 pm in Delta. They have a connecting flight from JFK (T3) @ 2:45 pm to CLT Delta operated. She has to go through customs and immigration and change the terminal is 1:40 mins enough time to make the connecting flight (given flights are on time). Any assitance or insight would be appreciated. Thanks

hi,

If the boarding passes are with them then It should be good. Immig and customs takes only 30 to 50 mins depends on time and day. some times less.

So they should be quick but still can be done. If flight got delayed by 15 mins also then it might be difficult.

Mister Responsibel,

I just arrived at home, and I start openning my luggage and guess !! Your employers from inpection luggages have stolen my perfumes, name: Bvlgari pour homme soir and giorgio Armani code.
I've heard about this was happening in Miami and not in NY as well.
Then, I want to get them back to me. I've payed them in NY and someone at airport stole them from my luggages.
I need an explanation asap.

Best Regards
Luciano Dutra

my wrapped present i was bringing down to a family member was stolen out of my bag too!! They left the ripped wrapping paper in my checked luggage. I emailed US airways and have heard NOTHING back. what have you done about this to get this settled? I refuse to let this go

Are the new full-body scanners or the pat-down methods being used there?

Some things contained in my luggage were plundered on JFK after I checked it. My Sony DSC-W100 digital camera is missing. JFK is unreliable airport and I am very disappointed.

Personal items like that should not be checked in. They should always be in your carry on luggage. Thats just my opinion.

I would say to contact the airport and ask if the scanners use xrays, if so then it is not safe for pregnant women...
