I arrive at Terminal 1 from Seoul at 8 PM on 1th of Oct and my next flight to Tampa with jetBlue at 9.20 PM.
Only 2 and half hours for customs and changing terminals.
I worry - is it enough time?

You have less than 1-1/2 hours between flights, customs generally takes 30-45 minutes and then take Airtrain on track 1 from T1 to T5 for Jet Blue which only takes a few minutes. Hope that your flight from Seoul is not late and you get through customs at T1 and security at T5 quickly.

Hi I will arrive on delta air lines coming from Cairo, Egypt at terminal 3 and I will take delta connection to buffalo, NY also from terminal 3. what should I do to transfer my luggage ?

Look for Delta Connecting flights counter immediately after you clear customs. There you will transfer your bags onto your next Delta flight.

How long form JFK to Penn Station via LIRR?

~35-45 mins.

Hello,
I am flying into Terminal 4 with TAM at 17:45h and my sister is flying into Terminal 8 at 17:10 with American Airlines.
Which Terminal would be the best place for us to meet? Do you know of a good meeting point (such as a café or a tourist information place) that you can suggest where we can meet?
After we met we’re going to Upper Manhattan (79th street). What´s the better option to get there?
Thank you kindly
Andy

Hi. How long does it take to get to Newark Airport from JFK? And how can I get there? Bus? AirTrain?
Thanks!

Hi, I have a broken toe and am landing in JFK tomorrow at 10:35am from DCA on AA. I believe we will come into Termimal 8. Then we have a flight to Tokyo on Japan Airlines which I believe leaves from Terminal 1. I am wondering what is best way to get from Terminal 8 to Terminal 1 with a broken toe. Thanks.

Let AA know and inquire about wheelchair assistance . The service will take you all the way to Japan Airlines counter via Airtrain.

Hi there, I'm travelling from London to Rio with a stopover in JFK. We arrive at 7:45pm and our connecting flight is at 10:30pm. Is this enough time to collect luggage, check in , and go through customs?

Yes, the time is enough.

My flight leaves on September 11th from JFK to Heathrow Airport. I am travelling with British airways. To which terminal should I go to? Could you please estimate how many hours earlier must I arrive at JFK in order not to loose my flight specifically at that day? Thanks a lot.

Terminal 7, arrive at the terminal 2.5-3 hours in advance.

Arriving at JFK from Kuwait through Kuwait Airways at 15:00 and connecting on Delta to Las Vegas at 18:10.
At what terminal I arrive and how far is the Delta terminal? Is there a back way between them to avoid customs and save time
