Hello, I am arriving at T4 at 12.30pm and need to meet my friends at T8 as soon as I arrive. How do I do this please? Thank you.
Hi, I'm going out of Rio de
Hi, I'm going out of Rio de Janeiro to Las Angeles and make a connection at JFK in New York, time between flights is 2:20, I landed at Terminal 4 and my flight leaves at terminal 7, which will give time ? and the train is actually going the opposite direction so I have to take the train to Terminal 3, 2, 1, 8 and then get off at 7?
Take any Airtrain on track 1
Take any Airtrain on track 1 from T4 to T7, this is much faster than taking the terminal loop on track 2. You should have just enough time to clear customs and transfer terminals.

If you are arriving via
If you are arriving via domestic flight and do not have to clear customs you are in good shape. If you need to clear customs you probably will not have enough time. Take AirTrain on track 2 (terminal loop) from T7 to T1.
