Subway tickets can be bought at any subway entrance, it's really easy! :) You don't have to buy it at the airport.

1)WILL 5 SENIOR ADULTS ARRIVING FROM MSP ON DELTA AT 13:58 HAVE TIME TO DEPLANE, FETCH BAGGAGE, TRANSFER TO AMERICAN AL, CHECK BAGGAGE, CLEAR SECURITY AND GET ON THE AMERICAN AL FLIGHT TO MADRID DEPARTING AT 17:25 ON A SUNDAY IN EARLY MAY? 2)WHAT ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO HELP MANAGE TRANSFER OF BAGGAGE FROM DELTA TERMINAL TO AMERICAN AL TERMINAL? 3)HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE VIA THE AIR TRAIN TO GO FROM THE DELTA TERMINAL BAGGAGE PICK-UP TO THE AMERICAN AL TERMINAL CHECK-IN FOR AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT?

You should be fine with the time span that you have between the flights. There are baggage handlers that can help you with the transferring the bags(unless you check the bags in MSP all the way through your final destination). It takes around 15 min to go from Delta baggage claim to AA terminal(T8) on Airtrain.

I have only 1 hour and 20 minutes to get from terminal 8 to 4 this Friday evening. Will I have to go through security again? What is the quickest way? Thanks.

Hi,
My wife is arriving with an infant from India on March 15th at 8.20 a.m at Terminal 4. She has to go through customs and then catch a connection with United Airlines to LAX at Terminal 7. Is there any way she can get some help with her bags as she has to claim them and then re-check in. If there is, who should I contact and how much would it cost.
Thanks

All she has to do is to look for "skycab"(baggage handler) at the baggage belt. They will help her with the bags. The cos is around $2 per bag.

We are worried...we will arrive at terminal 8 on jet blue and have only 35 min. until our connecting flight leaves from terminal 5. Please tell us hat is the best way to go from terminal 8 to 5? Also, about how long will it take us?

Something is not right....Jet Blue does not come at T8.
Please , check again your info!

That is, do you leave security in going terminal 3 over to 2? How long is the walk?

Those two terminals are the ONLY two at JFK connected and the passengers do not have to clear security between them.
The walk is 2-3 minutes(there is even mowing walkways).
That said answers your next question.

I am travelling to JFK from CAI on egyptair arriving at 3:30 pm in terminal 4 my next flight departs at 6:00 from T7.Is that enough time to go through customs and clear security in T4 and T7?

If Egypt Air is on time - yes, you have plenty of time to do that.

Hi,

I'm flying from Toronto to San Francisco on American Airlines, with a 3hrs and 10min stop in JFK at midday with plane change. Itinerary says the first flight is "operated by American Eagle". My sister lives in New York and would like to come see me in the airport. Would this be possible? Where would she go?

Thanks,

A

Yes, that is possible. AA from Toronto comes in New York as a domestic flight. Your sister can see you at Terminal 8, 1st floor, where domestic arrivals is located at.

I will be arriving on 12th March on BA001 from Shannon where we will have cleared US customs. We are due to arrive 17.15 to connect to AA613 for Miami. Can you please tell me if we can get from the BA terminal to the AA terminal without having to clear customs again and roughly how long it would take. Thank you.
