You should be OK like you mentioned as long as your first flight is on time, however, if you miss a flight and it is not airlines fault then you will have to rebook the second flight at your own expense.

We are flying from Italy Rome > JFK via meridiana Fly with a connecting flight to BWI via American Airlines. Our layover time is listed at an hour and 15 minutes. It will be me (US Citizen) 18 month old (US Citizen) and my husband (Legal Permanent Resident) making this connection - will we have enough time? Any suggestions for making the sprint easier?
Thanks

It will be very tight. If your flight from Italy is on time and Customs isnt busy you should be able to make it in an hour and 15 minutes.

My Cathy Pacific from Vancouver flight lands at 7:00AM at JFK in Terminal 7.

My American Airlines flight going to St. Marten departs at 8:00AM in Terminal 8.

Do I have to go through Immigration / Customs at JFK for my Vancouver and St. Martens?

What is the fastest way to get to Terminal 8 from Terminal 7?

Do you think I can make it in 1 hour?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

1 hour is simply not enough to make that connection. Allow yourself at least 2 hours between the flights for a comfortable flight connection.

Hello,

I would be traveling from LAX to Budapest with American Airlines all the way, having layover in New York. I will have 2 hours at terminal 8. I will fly in and out of terminal 8 . Do I have to go though passport check etc etc..there?

Thnak you for taking time to read my comment.

You should have enough time. You will only check with American Airlines prior to your second flight.

I am looking at flights for this November, Budapest to San Diego, and the best option I have in terms of overall travel time, is AA from BUD to JFK, and then AA non-stop JFK to San Diego; the connection time is 1 hr 30 minutes. Assuming my flight from Europe is on time, is that enough time to clear Immigration and customs? I am assuming that since both flights are AA (not code shared), that I will arrive and depart from Terminal 8?

You are right.American Airlines will depart and arrive at terminal 8. Same airline upon arrival and departure is a big plus for your. You should be able to make your connection if Customs and Immigration isnt too busy upon arrival at JFK and whether your flight from Budapest is on time.

Yes you should be fine with that time frame.

Good morning,

I just booked my flight and then realized I only have a 35 minute connection at JFK. On May 25th, I am flying from LAX to JFK on American Airlines. I only have 35 between that flight and my flight from JFK to ORF on American Airlines (American Eagle). Is it even possible that I will make it to my flight to ORF in time? Also, is there a way to check my gates for each of those flights so I can see at least how far away they are from one another. Thanks so much for your help!

Impossible connection please make other arrangements and longer time frame between flights.

Please can you give me any information on what to expect when I have to transfer from AA flight from UK (Manchester) to AA flight to Orlando in JFK terminal 8. I have a window of 2h:50min, which I am assuming should be OK. I am expecting I will need to go though immigration, but also I am led to believe I will need to claim my hold bags and will I need to check them in again? Is there a designated transfer desk for this? Thanks Sarah

You will claim your bags to clear customs, then when you exit customs take your bags to the AA connecting flights counter. Proceed upstairs to the departure level to clear security and go to the gate.
