Delta Flight 72 from SFO is trapped on the tarmac because somebody forgot we might need a gate to get off. No gate. No bus. No ladder. No mercy...Help us escape this plane!

Hi, We will be traveling to jfk in 1/2009. If we get a hotel room, is there a hotel that will let us keep our car on sight free of charge until we return a week later?

No! I'm 99 % Sure. There are lots of cars in NYC and demand for parking is really high, especially around the airports. You will most likely pay at least $15 for parking. I think you might be better off if you consider not using your car.

I will be arriving in JFK from South Korea and I will be carrying my puppy with me.
What kind of vacination does she have to have other than rabies?
and is there any other documents that I have to carry with? who should i ask these questions to?

I brought cats to the US from Italy. They needed the rabies vaccine and it had to be within a certain time frame before the flight. I believe it was no more than three weeks and no less than on week, more or less but you should check. I found most of my information on line and then checked with the airline. You will probably need to go to a specific veterinarian for the final ok. They also needed to be microchipped. And make sure that your airline knows you will have a dog with you because some airlines do not allow animals in the cabin with you. You must tell them when you make your reservation. (I hope your dog is small enough for you to keep him with you during the flight as the cargo hold can be very scary for animals. Many have been known to die from extreme temperatures and fright.) I hope that you are looking for information in more places than just from fellow travelers because countries take it very seriously when people bring pets in and you need a lot of official documentation.

In a couple of months I will be traveling from New York-JFK to Los Angeles. I am wondering about the procedure for getting the cats through security. I am concerned that it might require my taking the cats out of the carriers, which would be problematic - they are highly anxious!

I brought cats with me from Italy. You will have to take them out the carriers because the carriers will have to go through the conveyer metal detector, but obviously your cats can't go through. My reccomendation is to just take a deep breath and take as much time as you need doing one cat at a time. Also put them on a harness and a leash so that if they jump out of your arms you still have a hold on them. Hopefully you are traveling with someone because that was a huge help to me. Also don't forget to make sure your airline knows you are bringing cats with you when you make the reservation. There are a limited number of pets allowed in the cabin per flight and one passenger can only have one with them and it obviously counts as their carry on. Two cats are not allowed in the same carrier.

I have question, maybe you know.
I am going to fly with my dog from santiago of Chile, where we live, to NYC for good.
I am bringing my dog with us. She can not go with me so she will fly as luggage,

Hello,

I have a friend who has tickets to fly in Alitalia tomorrow at 5:40 PM, flight # Z643 but her ticket shows 2 different airports; JFK and Newark.
Which airport does she need to go to?
Thank you,
Jorge Ballerino

Any opportunity to smoke in Terminal 3?

I will be arriving at JFK in terminal one (with Korean air) and have to get my American airline(at terminal 8) six hours later. How long does transit from terminals 1 to 8 take? Do I have to check in my luggage again for the second flight or will it be transferred automatically?

Hi Elly:

There's a free transportation system between terminals at JFK called Airtram. you can find it right outside of every terminal building. Travel time between those two terminals should be around 10 minutes.

You can check with Korean, and most likely they do have a baggage agreement with American Airlines. So make sure they check your bags all the way to your final destination upon check in for your first flight.

HOWEVER, please keep in mind, that you have to clear Immigration and customs at the first port of entry into USA, in this case JFK, this means you have to pick your luggage up in New york, go through customs, and then give it back to the TSA (Transportation Security Authority) after clearing customs.

Hope this helps, and welcome to United States.

I am traveling to Mexico 30th September and I am flying through JFK with a 21 hour stop over. I was wondering if it was possible to leave the airport and go into New York city for a few hours and then return to the airport to catch my on-going flight to Mexico city. Do I need a visa for this in advance or is it a case of once at JFK I can leave?

I would be grateful if someone could help me.
