Yes, it is.
You will arrive at T5 and depart out of T4. Both terminals are within walking distance(10 min). No way to do it within security. There is no outbound immigration formalities(besides checking the ID and visas by the airlines).

My daugther is flying into terminal 3 on Delta and needs to get a flight with South Africa Airlines. What terminal is it and how does she get to the new terminal?

SAA is located at T4. Let her take Airtrain across the street from T3, on track 1 and get off next stop.

Hi - we fly into Terminal 7 and our friend into terminal 8 around 30 minutes later. We all need to travel into NYC together. Can anyone advise how long to walk from 7 to 8 and where we should meet??
Many Thanks

There is no way to walk between those terminals - you have to use the Airtrain and it takes 10 min.
Good place to meet is by the coffee shop at T8, arrivals hall.

Please help someone who gets lost easily! Coming in at terminal 3 (Delta) and need to get to terminal 7 (Qantas). I guess I will have to retrieve luggage first and take it to terminal 7.

Dear JFK,

I am arriving Sat. at 16.10 pm from Madrid, flying with American Airlines AA-5679. I think it arrives to terminal 7. Next flight is to San Francisco (with AA) at 18.10. Do I have time to do it? How can I swap terminals quickly?

Thanks in advance.

You have time as long as Madrid flight is not late. Take Airtrain on track 1 and get off next stop . Your AA flight to SFO is out of T8.

Hello from Los Angeles,
I will get off the plane from United Airlines(Terminal 7) and I need to get to Turkish Airlines plane in Terminal 1. What is the easiest way to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello from New York,
Take the Airtrain across the street from T7, on track 2. You will be at T1 in 5 minutes. The train is free between terminals.
