Total cost - $7.25.

Hi, my parents arrives to JFK T1 with Aeroflot on 14th of September at 5:00 PM and have their next flight to SFO with United Airlines at 7:13 PM from T7.
1)Have they've got enough time to pass passport control and check in to the next flight?
2)How to get to T7 from T1?
They've got one e-ticket at halves.
3)Do they they have to collect their bags and re-check them with United Airlines?
They don't speak English

Thanks in advance

1. If Aeroflot is not late , they will make it.
2. Airtrain(any train) on the third floor will take them to T7.
3. They have to collect their bags and after passing the customs they have to re-check them in with Aeroflot(at Aeroflot connecting flights counter, which is right after customs). They can choose to go to T7 with their bags and check them in there with United.

hi ,i am coming from atlanta to jfk on sept 14th at 12 pm with delta airlines to terminal 3. and then at 4.50pm i have another flight with the delta again to turkey.i have to take my luggage in terminal 3 ,and than i will have check in again to turkey right ?because my turkey ticket is not the same ticket as from atlanta to jfk ..I think its not gonna be so difficult coz it is on the same terminal.right ?

If the two flights are on the separate tickets then you have to collect your bags and re-check them in with Delta. You have plenty of time to do that.
What else you can do is ask Delta in Atlanta (after you show them the second ticket) to check your bags all the way to IST. They can do that. This way you don't have to deal with your bags at JFK - they will be transferred automatically.

We arrive at JFK Monday at 2.30 pm . How can we get to the corner Driggs Avenue South 5th?

Thak you

I come in on Wed. p.m. and I'm staying at a hotel near the airport. Can I get back to JFK to use the subway to NYC? I really need to get to Hoboken and I was trying to find the fastest and cheapest route for 2 adults & a 13 year old. Any suggestions?

Take the hotel courtesy shuttle back to Federal Circle Station and then take Airtrain to Jamaica Station. From there take either LIRR train or subway E to Penn Station and then PATH train to Hoboken.

do you know which would be the faster & easier way? LIRR or the subway? Is one more direct with fewer stops? Is the PATH at Penn Station?

LIRR is much faster with less stops.
Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) service to Hoboken and Jersey City, New Jersey does not technically serve Penn Station, but is located only a block away, at 33rd Street and Sixth Avenue. It was once accessible via underground passageway, but this has been closed to the public for security reasons, and now the only access is via the surface streets.

Need long term parking, 6pm week night flight on Jet Blue, then returning about 5am on a Sunday morning. How safe is the airport long term parking, and how long will it take to get to Jet Blue terminal from the parking area.

We will arrive at terminal 4 and need to go to the Theater district 47th with 8th Avenue by taxi or public transportation. What would be the cost and approx. time?

I will be arriving at JFK at 7.10 AM. How much time will it take to reach the domestic terminal of JetBlue and clear the security after landing.I have a domestic flight from JFK to Boston at 9.45 AM ? Can I still make it safely ?

Family of 4 all very tall, what would be best to use to get from JFK to the Waldorf early in the morning?

You will be fine. It takes up to 20 mins to retrieve the bags at Jet Blue terminal. No need to clear security after that. Are you flying to Chicago on Jet Blue as well?If yes then they will check your bags directly to Chicago and all you have to do is transfer from one gate to the other which takes no more than 5 mins.
