I am planning to take my relatives Iphones as gifts, since they are cheaper here! Is there a restriction on the number of iPhones i can take on board?
Thank You,
No, there is no restriction, but be familiar with the custom's restrictions of the country you are flying to. They might have limitations on how many electronic appliances you can import.

I just realized that my driver's license and passport expired in October. I have a flight booked for Friday for CA -- am I still going to be able to travel? There's no way to get the documents renewed by Friday.
You won't have problem with that as long as you will be flying before the expiration date in October.

I'll be arriving on Delta at Terminal 3. Departing on Egyptair at Terminal 4. Do I have to go through security against at Terminal 4 if transferring via Air Train?
Yes. There is a shuttle bus from the gate area in T3 (near gate 15?) to the gate area at T4 post-security however I believe this bus is only for arriving Delta passengers at T3 to connect to a departing Delta flight at T4. If connecting to another airline you must exit T3 and proceed to T4 via AirTrain.
With one correction,BG - the Delta shuttle departs at gate 11 at T3 . And yes,it is only for Delta passengers.

I don't travel often & only have 1-gal bags @ home. Are 1-qt clear bags available for sale in the terminals?
No place that I know of at JFK sells these bags. The 1-gallon bag is too big so get yourself a box of 1-qt bags and use the rest to bring snacks for yout trip. Reminder you are limited to one 1-qt bag for your liquids/gels.
We are going to make a transit in the airport; we want to carry a bottle of Tylenol (liquid), a bottle of skin cream for my son, and some chocolate and biscuit;
Possible to carry them ?
Hi, I do not travel much. Making trip to Europe and I plan to bring toiletries. I know liquids are not allowed over 2+Oz. Question is, can I incclude deoadrant, toothpast and a bunch of vitamins in the carry-on luggage?
Thx
For carry-on; all liquids, gels and aerosols must not be over the 3.4 oz limit or you will not be able to take them through the checkpoint. If oversize items are found in your bag you are normally given the option to return to the ticket counter to put in your checked luggage but this is a major hassle, otherwise all items over the size limit will be confiscated. This includes deodorant, toothpaste, hairspray, lotions, body powder, etc. Vitamin tablets are ok. Go to the drugstore and purchase travel-size deodorant, lotions, toothpaste, etc. which are within the size limit for carry-on.

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?

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.
