After you collect your
After you collect your luggage follow signs to the AirTrain station and take AirTrain on track 1 to Jamaica Station. LIRR is located there and you will take the Port Jefferson branch train to Syosset (may need to change trains at Hicksville). The cost for AirTrain is $5 and LIRR is $8 peak time or $5.75 off peak. When you arrive at Jamaica, before you exit AirTrain you will purchase both AirTrain and LIRR fares on one ticket from the self-service machines and there are folks there to assist you if needed.

JFK > Jet Blue > Air Train
Good Morning - If i park in long term parking from Thursday Morning (5:30 am) to Sunday Night approx 10:30 pm - could you guesstimate the costs for me ?? also, what is the travel time from long term parking to Terminal #5 / Jet Blue. i have a 7:30am flight on thursday morning 7/21. your help is greatly appreciated
I would "guesstimate" around
I would "guesstimate" around $70. Take the AirTrain from the Lefferts Blvd. station near long term parking to T5, should take about 10-15 minutes once you get on the train.

Hi I'm flying AA from London to JFK connecting to American egals flight to Norfolk. Do I have to collect my baggage once I have cleared immigration or are they transfered on as it is a connecting flight? Also is it all in the one terminal?
On return I fly back BA - how do I get to Terminal 7 from 8.
You will clear Immigration
You will clear Immigration and Customs in London. If both airlines have a luggage agreement your bags should be clipped all the through to your final destination. It would be terminal 8. On your returning flight follow the signs and take an air train on track 1 from terminal 7 to terminal 8.

You will have to clear both
You will have to clear both Customs and Immigration at JFK. After Immigration, you will collect your checked baggage and go through Customs. If the check-in agent at Heathrow has checked your baggage through to ORF, then just after clearing Customs at JFK, you should be able to drop your bags at the re-check station. All AA mainline and American Eagle flights use Terminal 8 at JFK.
On the return, AA should be able to check your bags all the way through to LHR, and you will not see them again until you claim them at LHR.
To get from Terminal 8 to Terminal 7 at JFK, you will take the "All Terminals" Air Train one stop. The ride is free, and should take all of two minutes. (Make sure that you board the correct AirTrain: do NOT board one bound for "Jamaica" or "Howard Beach.")
