Hello,
I will be flying SIN-JFK via Singapore Airlines and will reach JFK Terminal 4 at 1045 hrs. Then, I need to catch a 1340hrs connecting flight at Terminal 8, JFK-RDU via American Airlines. I understand that clearing immigrations & customs may take about 1.5hrs and for the AA flight, I must check my baggage at least 45 minutes before departure
Is a layover of 3hrs enough to catch my flight?
And can some helpful soul confirm that the procedure is as such?
a) Clear Immigrations at T4
b) Pick up baggage
c) Clear Customs
I am at a loss as to what to do with my baggage after clearing the customs. Can I check in my baggage for the connecting flight in T4, since I do not want to lug everything by myself to T8? Can I also check in with American Airlines and print my boarding pass in T4, or must I do that in T8?
Someone mentioned that there is a Transit Counter that I should go to (after clearing customs) where I can check in my baggage for my AA flight. Is this the correct way to do it? How far is the Transit Counter from Customs?
d) Proceed to departure gate in T8 for my AA flight
I understand that there are some security checks here? How long will it take?
Its my first time entering the US, your help will be appreciated. Thanks!
