Hi, I'm flying from London LHR to SAP in Honduras with American Airlines and am connecting at both JFK and Miami. I am travelling around Central America for 3 weeks before going to a conference in New York so want to leave some luggage for the conference in New York so I don't have to carry it around with me. Is it possible to go to the post office while in JFK and send a bag to a friend who lives in New York? Does my check-in luggage get put straight through to my connecting flight or do I have to claim it, go through customs and check it back in again? (i.e. would I be able to check in the luggage I want to send to New York in London or would it have to be carry-on luggage?) I have about 3.5 hours transfer in JFK. Alternatively I could leave it in storage in JFK but as I'm away for 3 weeks this will become very expensive.
Many thanks
