Cross all the streets from terminal 2 till you reach the parking lot; there you will see the elevated Airtrain station; the platform is actually second floor. From there it takes only 1 minute on the train to reach T4.

I'll arrive at terminal 8 from Halifax/Canada at 2.59 pm and have to go to terminal 1 for catching the next flight to Brazil. It will take off at 7.40 pm.
4 hours of layover are enough?
How can I get to terminal 1 from terminal 8?

I would really appreciate your help.

You have plenty of time. You'll clear US Customs/Immig. at Halifax. Take Airtrain on track 2 (terminal loop) from T8 to T1, one stop.

I am just checking on how efficient the Travellers Aid-JKF volunteering program is, as they are meeting my son up to help him with his connecting flights and I just wanted to recheck on them as no one we know heard of them and we just learnt about them through the internet.

Thank you.

I am arriving at Terminal 5 by JetBlue, and need to go to China Air lines for my next flight. How do i go? I have five big luggages too. How can I carry them?

I'll arrive at terminal 8 from Costarica at 2.55 pm and have to go to terminal 4 for catching the next flight to Europe. It will take off at 5.45 pm.
3 hours of layover are enough?
How can I get to terminal 4 from terminal 8?

I would really appreciate your help.

You should have time. Take Airtrain on track 2 from T8 to T4, only takes a few minutes.

Hello, a friend and I are going to be flying into JFK terminal 3 from Dulles aboard Delta Airlines. We need to connect to our flight to Malaga in Terminal 4. I understand that we'll need to use the AirTrain ... will we need to go through security after switching terminals, or is this all done within the secured area? Our layover is only just over an hour, so needing to go through security would pose possible problems.

You did not mention the airline flying you to Malaga, but I will assume is Delta(it is the only one flying to that place from JFK). In this case you don't have to clear security again. Make sure not to exit the building after you disembark the plane at T3 - just look for gate 11 - that is where Delta bus will take you to T4.

Is there a JetBlue bag drop in Terminal 1 so I don't have to carry the bag to Terminal5? Thank you in advance!

It all depends if Jet Blue has a baggage agreement with the airlines at T1. As far as I know , none of those airlines has such an agreement with Jet Blue.

My girlfriend and I are flying delta and parking our car tomorrow morning until Monday. What entrance do we go to for Delta, where is long term parking and how do we get to the Delta Terminal for a flight to Pittsburgh

When you enter the airport area look for signs for long term parking. There's an Airtrain station there which will take you to all terminals, Delta is T2/3.

Would anyone know how long it might take to travel from Terminal 4 to Terminal 7 at JFK airport? Many thanks!

Will take you only a few minutes by Airtrain on track 1 from T4 to T7.
