My daughter is arriving on Delta 209 from Prague arriving T3. She then needs to check in, including a bag, for AA 589 departing from T8. Does she check in at the transfer desk in the international terminal or at American in T8? Also, what is approximate travel time between T3 and T8 and does she walk or take a shuttle? Thanks very much.

She can check-in(transfer) her bags at either place - T3(Delta) or T8(AA). The first choice has its advantage that she does not have to carry/push/pull her bags from T3 to T8.
From T3 to T8 is convenient to use Airtrain(which is free between terminals). It takes 15 min(with walking to the stations).

We have to know on which airlines both of you are flying on.

Do any of the terminals have facilities where one can crash for a few hours and take a nap? Thanks.

Hi Swarnam,
Four hours is more than enough to do that at JFK. Use Airtrain(which is free between the terminals) to commute.

Are all terminals connected to one another or do I need to exit the secure areas and go outside to go other terminals? I am particularly asking about going from terminal 3 to 4. Thanks.

From T3 to T4 you have to exit the building and clear security again at T4(if you going to depart out of T4). Only T3 and T2 are connected.

I also need to store my carry-on luggage at T4. Is the luggage storage place located before or after clearing security? I want to leave the carry-on luggage so I can go to the city for a few hours. Thanks.

It is located before security.

I am arriving at JFK on a BA flight from Heathrow next week with 30 students, although we have transport into Manhattan arranged we will need metro tickets for the following mornings activities. Can you tell me if is possible to buy metro tickets at the airport or do we have wait until we get into Manhattan?
Thanks

It is better to get the tickets in Manhattan - it is very difficult ti find them at JFK.
