I will be arriving Friday at terminal 8 in AA 518 and have to leave from terminal 2 on Delta 173, how do I get from one terminal to the other.

Take an air train on track 2 at terminal 8. 5 minute air train trip.

I will be traveling in a few weeks to SDQ with 3 small children. Flight departs at 7am. Will there be any food places open in TERMINAL 8 at that time? Thanks JNM

Most of JFK snack courts are open by 7AM.

I will be arriving ti terminal 4 and leaving terminal 8. How should I travel - is there a bus or a train? Never been before in jfk...

Go to the third floor of terminal 4. Take an air train on track 2. 3-4 minute trip on a free air train.

Hello,

In a couple of months my wife and I will be travelling from Halifax, Canada to JFK on AA 4458, arriving at 7:40am, landing at terminal 8. We need to make a 9:00am connecting flight to LAX, AA 0001, at terminal 4.

1) Will we need to collect and recheck our bags

2) And if so, will we have enough time (We clear US customs in Canada).

Thank you

1.In Canada you can ask for your bags to be transfered all the way to your final destination which in this case is LA. If your bags will be transfered to your final destination then you wont have to collect them.
2. Going through Customs will be a big plus for you and you will make your connection as long as your first flight is on time.

American Airlines Flight number 1 leaves at 9:00 from Terminal 8 according to my travel agent. It is not at Terminal 4. With that said I believe you have a short time to clear customs and grab luggage and recheck it to LAX. Is there any way you can check the luggage through to LAX?

1.No
2. His time frame is time and he will make a connection as long as his first flight is on time.

Anyone who knows about the smoking areas at teminal 8? Is there any possibilities before outside the building?

Smoking huts are located outside the building at every terminal.

I am arriving on IB6251 connecting to AA017. IB uses Terminal 7 and AA is in Terminal 8. I think what will happen is that I will clear Customs and Passport Control in Terminal 7, then exit to the Airtrain with my bags and re-check with AA in Terminal 8 and pass Security in Terminal 8. Questions:

1. at one time quite a while ago, there was an airside transfer bus between T7 and T8, does that still operate?

2. is there a baggage recheck area in T7 for AA flights departing T8 or do I have to take my bags with me to T8 after Customs?

3. I have 2:15 to make my connection, which should be plenty of time. Though I've heard lately that T8 Security has seen horrendous lines and delays. I will be passing through at around 6pm on a Thursday, will there possibly be significant delays at that hour?

4. There is an earlier flight (AA177) leaving at 18.05. My IB flight arrives at 17.10, but when it departs on time, it typically arrives 30 minutes early. And AA177 typically departs late. I'm wondering if there would be enough time to try to Stand-By for AA177, how much time is typically needed to make this transfer, would 1:30 be reasonable?

Thanks!

1. No.
2. You will have to go to terminal 8 to recheck your bags with American Airlines.
3. There might be longer lines at that time but you have a good time frame to make that connection.
4. I would allow longer time frame between flights 2 hours and 15 minutes to be on a safe side. One hour and 30 minutes will be a very tight connection especially on an international flight. 2 hours and 15 minutes will be more comfortable time frame.

How close is Terminal 8 short term parking to the terminal? Is it a walk? I am travelling for one overnight and want to leave my car there vs. long term parking.
