How much time does it take to get from terminal 2 to terminal 5? I have 2 elderly parents trying to make a connection between Delta & Jet Blue

Around 20 mins using the Airtrain.

Hello,
I'm arriving on 4th July on a flight from Tel-Aviv landing at terminal 4 at 05:40. Then flying to LA with "American airlines" from terminal 8 at 09:00.
What will be the best way to get from terminal 4 to terminal 8.
Thank you

Airtrain - take it on the third floor of T4, on ANY track - T8 is three stops away(less than 5 min).

Dear Sirs,
I will arrive to JFK terminal 1 on 14th of July at 5:00 p.m. and have a flight to SFO at 7:15 p.m.

Please advise whether do i have enough time to go thru registration ( i am a greencard holder and this is my first entry to the USA and we are 4 people), take my luggage and go to the terminal 2 - Delta airlines.
Thank you very much.

Dear Elnur,
I will advise you to reschedule your SFO flight with a later one. Green card holders entering USA for the first time will have to undergo extensive procedures regarding immigration. That may take up to 3-4 hours. The time window that you have between the two flights is simply not enough.

You have plenty of time as long as MIA flight is not late.
Let AA at MIA checks all your bags through(if it is possible) so you don't have to pick them up at JFK.

Hi
I will be flying into JFK on American Airlines from heathrow on the evening of thursday 8th arriving at 21.20. Could you tell me which terminal I will arrive to? I need to catch my connecting American Airlines flight to Lima from Terminal 4 at 23.45. What do I need to do and do I have enough time to do it!?
Will AA just deal with the checked luggage?! I have been reading about collecting and re-checking bags, which I don't really understand! Help!!

You will be arriving at Terminal 8. Your connecting flight to Lima is operated by LAN Airlines(code-share with American). You will have to pick up your bags at T8 in order to clear US customs(you do that even you are transiting US). Then go to AA connecting flights counter(located just after customs) and have AA re-check(transfer) your bags onto your next flight. After that just go to the second floor , follow the signs to the Airtrain and take it on track 2 to Terminal 4.

How much time does it take to reach T4 from T7 if I take an Air Train (on track 2) from T7?

About 5-7 minutes.

We are arriving in terminal 5 with JetBlue the 1st of August at 6:45 PM from Aruba, and we have to get to terminal 1 to departure with Delta Airlines at 9:45 PM. Do we have time enough (3 hours ) to get our checked luggage and make it through security and reach the Delta Airlines flight at 9:45 PM?
Can you please advise us the best way to timely transfer between the terminals and go through the customs in time to reach the flight?
We also need to know if after the customs control we have to stay with our luggage and check it again before our next flight or we can check it immediately after the end of this control.

Aruba flights pre-clear customs/immigration in Aruba so you will come as domestic flight in JFK. You have to get you bags with you after you arrive at T5 , take the Airtrain on the third floor, on track 2.
Delta operates at Terminals 2,3 and 4. Unless it is a code-share flight(either with Air France,Korean, China, or Aeroflot).
The time window that you have is plenty to transfer to your next flight.

My son (16) will be traveling from France on the 2th of July to JFK to Richmond
, arrival is on terminal 1 and departure is from terminal 3.

1)Can we receive directions and list of what to do from the moment arrives to the moment departures?
2)How could he easily go from TM1 to T3?
3) His flights are delta 8654 from paris arriving tm1 at 12.45 pm and then Delta 6551 to Richmond at 4.35 pm from gate 23 C at T.

I didn't find any plan of JFK explaining how far and how to go from TM1 to T3 and it seems that gate 23C doesn't exist?

Thank you very much for your answer, I am quite worried
