Take the Air Train; be sure you take the "inside" track going clockwise and go one stop to Terminal 3. I wouldn't walk with all the vehicle traffic. Air Train runs frequently and takes only a few minutes between terminals.

Thanks a lot for your comment. And how frequently does it run?

It is my first time go to USA :

I will be arriving to terminal 7 (HK-JFK)and need transit at terminal 8. (JFK - Pittsburgh)

1. Do I need go thru immigration and baggage claim.
2. Transit only in 1 and 1\2 hours. will I have enough time?
3. How to go Terminal 8.

Hope some one can help me!!!

Hello,

I will be flying SIN-JFK via Singapore Airlines and will reach JFK Terminal 4 at 1045 hrs. Then, I need to catch a 1340hrs connecting flight at Terminal 8, JFK-RDU via American Airlines. I understand that clearing immigrations & customs may take about 1.5hrs and for the AA flight, I must check my baggage at least 45 minutes before departure

Is a layover of 3hrs enough to catch my flight?

And can some helpful soul confirm that the procedure is as such?
a) Clear Immigrations at T4
b) Pick up baggage
c) Clear Customs

I am at a loss as to what to do with my baggage after clearing the customs. Can I check in my baggage for the connecting flight in T4, since I do not want to lug everything by myself to T8? Can I also check in with American Airlines and print my boarding pass in T4, or must I do that in T8?

Someone mentioned that there is a Transit Counter that I should go to (after clearing customs) where I can check in my baggage for my AA flight. Is this the correct way to do it? How far is the Transit Counter from Customs?

d) Proceed to departure gate in T8 for my AA flight

I understand that there are some security checks here? How long will it take?

Its my first time entering the US, your help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Question| name of airport before 1963

Idyllwild Airport prior to 1963.

This is totally unimportant but i would really appreciate a response: in the jfk airport there are some advertisements that feature something like TRASH ART ART TRASH...they'll have two pictures and the first one will have trash written on it and the other will have art, and then the words are switched.

Im desperate to find out which company the ads belong to, so if anyone is in the airport and sees them please take note!

thank you

the ads are by HSBC bank

ARE THERE EXCESS LUGGAGE SHIPPING COMPANIES AT JFK

When arriving JFK from Europe with connecting flight to Atlanta, will I clear customs at JFK or Atlanta? My bags will be checked through to Atlanta....

i think you will clear customs in JFK. however, i would say you will also have to claim your bags at JFK and recheck them in for ATL, as i understand you must claim bagagge and go through customs and immigration at your first port of entry in the US.
the first time i went to america i flew from ireland to ATL, conecting to washington. we were originally told our bags would be checked on through to washington, but when we arrived in ATL we had to claim them and go through customs there. i think its federal law, so its the same for all passengers in all airports..

There was a service that would assist F/C passengers to get through the airport and to transportation. Does anyone know if it still exists and how to telephone or e-mail ?

I'm going to travel to New york with so many pieces pf luggage with me, which are beyond my capability to carry by myself.
So, is it possible for the Skycap to carry my luggage from the luggage claim site to the car parking lot,where my friend will be waiting for me? And how much is the charge for each luggage?

Thanks!

Hello,
My arrival from Prague to the JFK is at 14:15 at Terminal 4. After that I have to get to Terminal 3, where I take my second flight to Portland, ME at 16:25.
This is a one-air ticket flight. Do I have to check-in my luggage again? How far is it from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3? How long does it take me if I am an immigrant? Are there any special procedures?

Thanks for your answers,

Cheso

It depends on how busy US Customs and Immigration is when you arrive as to how much time it will take. You will have to check your luggage again for your flight to Portland after you clear customs. When you exit customs take the free Air Train counter-clockwise (the inside track)to Terminal 3 which is one stop and check your bags and check in for your flight.
