They will both go through U.S Customs and Immigration and they will have to recheck their bags at AA check in counter at terminal 8. They will also have to go through security before their second flight. No need to travel far at all. Everything happens at the same terminal.

I am arriving from London to JFK through a BA flight around 11am but have a AA flight to IAD at 12.20 pm.
The two tickets were bought separately.
Will I make it within that transit time and will I be able to re-check in my luggage after customs/immigration at terminal 7 or will I have to go to baggage claim, collect them and then check in again at terminal 8. Since BA and AA share code, will I be able to check my luggage all the way to IAD from London.(3 questions in all).
Thanks.

We are flying in to JFK Terminal 8 from Montreal flight aa4444, on feb 2nd on our way to Buenos Aires via flight AA0955. Will we have to handle our checked luggage or will it be moved to the other plane by airport employees? Thank you

Hi, there!

Writing to you from previous experience. I flew from YYZ to SVO via JFK T8 and HEL. Did not have to move bags on to my next flight. FYI I've went through US Customs at YYZ

Cheers, RB211(AME)

You will have to handle and carry the luggage yourself.

Hello!
we aretraveling from jamaica to Russia. Air jamaica has gates at terminal 4? and Airflot has gates at terminal 1. do we need visa to get from one terminal to another?
thank you

Yes you will need U.S visa if you transit inside the U.S between 2 terminals.

We won't have any warm clothes with us. Will we have to go outside to go between terminal 8 and terminal 5? How cold is it usually on Feb 16?

Nope. Use free air train inside the terminal where its nice and warm. No need to go outside.February is usually a cold month so it will be cold on that day. Looking towards spring.

Thx RZ. Keep warm

Will I need to go outside or are the indoor paths between? I will not have winter clothes.

No need to go outside. They are all inside and you can use free air train.

Hi, I will be arriving at JFK from Argentina at 6am with AA to terminal 8 and then I have another flight at 8pm to Raleigh with American Eagle. Can I drop the bags at connections so I can leave the airport and do a Manhattan tour or do I have to storage them. If so, in what terminal should I storage them.

Thank you!

Yes you can leave them at terminal 8.

Good day,
i'm arriving on American Eager and departing on Singapore Airlines. I need to also pay a visit to a Brookstone store in the airport.
Please advice how i could do the transiting (changing terminal?) and visit to Brookstone. I have about 5 hours of transit.
Thank you very much
