Help ASAP! I am managing a group of 20 students flying in from Nigeria on Arik Airlines. The flight arrives Terminal 4. I understand they will clear customs/immigration in Terminal 4. JetBlue tells me they must take their bags to Terminal 5 to check bags for their final flight to Orlando on JetBlue. This doesn't make sense to me. Please confirm; I think they can check bags in Terminal 4 then proceed without baggage to Terminal 5. Can they check the bags in Terminal 4 and get their boarding passes as well, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARRIVED ON.
Thanks!! This flight is Monday so please respond ASAP.
