We will be arriving at JFK terminal 3 (delta connection) from Logan next Sunday and plan to meet some friends in terminal 2 for lunch prior to heading over to terminal 4 to catch our delta fight to Barcelona. (flight from logan arrives at 2:15 PM, flight to Barcelona departs at 6 PM)
Questions
1. how do we get from terminal 3 to terminal 2? how long will it take? (planning to meet at Todd English)
2. how do we get from termnal 2 to terminal 4? How long will it take?
3. We will check luggage and clear security at Logan, given that we are taking an international flight do we need to go through security again at terminal 4?
4. How far in advance do we need to present ourselves at the gate area for our international flight? (we will check and have our boarding passes prior to leaving home)
Thank you!

1. Both terminals are connected past the security so it is walking distance of about 5 minutes.
2. From terminal 2 take an air train on track 2 to terminal 4 it should be 2 minute trip.
3. Most likely yes.
4. Make sure to be on a safe side be present at the gate an hour before your flight departs.

i am arriving on a pakistani passport (visit visa) on terminal 1 from Jeddah through saudiarabian airline on 9th June at 0910 hrs. After immigration and other formalities i have to catch Delta 2043 leaving from terminal 3 at 1235 for Atlanta. please advice me how do i go about to catch the flight in time. (this is my first visit to US)

Saudi Arabian airlines will arrive at Terminal 1 at JFK airport. Once you clear immigration and customs at terminal 1 take an air train at terminal 1 on track 1 to terminal 3, it should be 1 minute trip. Recheck your bags with Delta at terminal 3 at JFK for your second flight. You will also clear security before your flight to Atlanta. Your time frame looks good to make that connection.

thanks for your quick reply. can you please also tell me the weight, number and size limit of check-in bags of Delta flight from JFK to Atlanta
sajid

I do believe you can have up to 50 pounds for check in luggage with Delta but double check with them.

I am connecting from a domestic flight to JFK then to an international flight at terminal 4. Can I go to terminal 4 immediately after disembarking my domestic flight or do I have to pass through customs first? And do I need to collect my luggage at JFK if they are checked all the way through to my final destination?

Absolutely not. If you are arriving on a domestic flight to JFK lets just say (Chicago,LA or Dallas or anywhere in the U.S) you dont have to clear Customs or Immigration for that matter. After you exit your first flight go to terminal 4 and check in with your second flight career and you will clear security again prior to your international flight.

terminal 8 to terminal4-with 2 kids how can I transfer?

Thanks

At terminal 8 take any train on track 1 in order to travel to terminal 4. It will be a 2 minute trip. You can take your kids along and it is free.

Hi, I'm flying with Icelandair and i will arrive at 07:00pm at terminal 7 then i need to catch a flight with JetBlue 08:27pm at terminal 5.
1. Is 1h30m enough time to make the connection?
2. What Airtrain should i take to terminal 5?

1. It will be very tight but you have a chance of making that connection if your flight is on time and customs and immigration isnt busy when you arrive at JFK.
2. Take airtrain on track 1 to terminal 5. Roughly 1 minute air train trip.
