I'm flying in on Delta from the UK with a connection to Washington DC. I realise that I will need claim my checked luggage and go through customs at JFK but wondered if it's possible to re-check your luggage just after customs to save lugging it to the other Delta terminal for the domestic flight. I have plenty of time to transfer but the bags might be heavy for me.

Newark Liberty has a clever arrangement where you drop your checked luggage just outside the customs hall for transfer to your connecting flight. So you can catch the train to the next terminal without the bother of heavy suitcases.

Does JFK do this?

Thanks

No.

I am thinking of booking a flight from Boston to JFK, with arrival time being 9:20. Will I have enough time to pick up luggage, go to Emirates check in and then through security for an 11:00 flight?

Its a good time frame as long as your first flight arrives on time.

We are arriving by China Eastern at Terminal 1 at 2:15 p.m and then planning to take a JetBlue flight from Terminal 5 at 3:59 p.m.
Does that give us enough time to clear customs and make the connecting flight?
Thanks.

Yes you are good to go with that time frame.

Hi,

I am looking at booking a flight that will arrive at JFK terminal 7, after which I need to catch a connecting flight on American Airlines which departs from terminal 8. Is it possible to collect my own bags on arrival at JFK and check them in for the AA flight, whilst staying airside?

Alternatively, if the bags are transferred by the airline to the second plane would I be able to stay airside? My objectives are 1. To minimise delays of having to check in and go through security again at JFK; 2. To make sure my bags definitely make it onto the second flight.

I look forward to hearing from you..

You should be able to do that.
