I am trying to locate a small carry-on that was lost by TAM airlines. They don't seem to be able to tell me whether it even arrived at JFK and they don't know whether they transfered it to Continental. Continental says it is not their job to look for a TAM bag. In other words, everybody blames everybody else. I travelled before the holiday season to avoid the problems associated to travel at this time of the year. We are on December 23rd and since the 14th all I get is people asking me to HOLD while they go home, hang up on me or tell me some information that is either wrong or a repeat of what I already know. Besides calling them and calling them, is there something else I can do?
Are there people in the airport we can pay to find the bag? And is there a group that is trying to increase the amount of money the airlines pay for lost luggage? I would gladly donate money to them.

It seems to me that until the amount of money for lost luggage starts really hurting the airlines this mess will continue.

my college sent me an energency I-20 on the 10th of december using the SO CALLED express mail international service.Up to know 23rd december 2007 the tracking number says it left JFK on 13th december at 1.08 pm local time and it seems the item has vanished into thin air.how possible can it be?Am on a visa appointment on just the 2 nd of january and am really really desperate.Please JFK officials,JFk customs,USPs officials at JFk,airline that sent item of tracking number EB 651581354 US should please find and return the item by 30 thof december because its such a precious assset to me and wont forgive USPs,JFK USPS officials and all the stakeholders in charge if it should arrive at a very late date aftre my F-1 appointment time has expired.PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.MY TRACKING NUMBER IS EB 651581354 US.Waiting for reply tomorrow.USPS and JFK i trust yo so pleassssssssssssssssse dont dissappoint me.pleassssssse search it for me now!!!!!!

Hi!
I am a norwegian citizen that will be flying from peru to norway this cristmas, including a 19-hour wait at Jfk airport. I would like to book a room at an airport hotel for this, but find it hard to find any homepages where I can actually contact them. The problem is that I don{t have a visa to enter the U.S:, but a electronically readable barnd new norwegian passport. Can anyone help me find out wether it is possible to spend a night at an airport hotel without visa? and if not, am I able to apply for one when landing?
Thanks in advance!

We have been expecting my son's Christmas package shipped from China since the 1st of December. The USPS tracking is still showing that it is in customs @ JFK. Can you tell me the status and we really need it ASAP & hope it arrives by Christmas. I would love to speak with a person to determine its location & exactly what the hold up is. Please advise.

On December 18, 2007, my family and I were traveling from JFK Airport to Portland, ME Airport. We were on JetBlue Airways Flight Number 1608. During take-off from JFK the aircraft lost tremendous altitude and tipped sideways to the left. There were many screams and gasps from the passengers as we were all sure the aircraft was going down. After a period of about 1 minute the pilot spoke to us over the intercom apologizing for the "bumpy ride" and explained that we had been "sent off too soon" and were experiencing wind turbulance from an aircraft that had just taken off prior to us. There is absolutely no need of something like this to happen. Would not people rather spend an extra 10 minutes waiting on the ground before taking off to avoid another aircraft's wind turbulence and is that not the safer course?? Our family has been shaken up from the whole experience for a few days now. We really thought we were going to die. Does anyone have an explanation for this? We should be compensated for having to experience something that could easily have been avoided.

my only thought would be that if your plane took off too soon it caught the tail wind from the previous plane. There is a certain distance that needs to be maintained between planes.

I am expecting an international package coming from China. when I track it on usps, it only says that the package arrived at JFK on December 8. there has been no movement since then according to usps. however, I have been calling JFK and they claim the package was not inspected by customs and is in the care of JFK's airport service, does anyone know when I should expect the package? it's been there since the 8th! I was hoping to have it by xmas

hey friend, I am in the same exact situation, my package has arrived at the jfk airport on the 8th of december and never left there yet....know one will tell me how to find out how to release this package..I keep getting the run around from everyone, if you find out how to get an answer from someone I would appreciate it...

I am in the same boat... I just got off the phone with usps. The package came via EMS (china). All they keep telling me is 30-45 days to wait for a NOTICE! My package arrived on 12/20.

When I lived in Europe, you just go to the location and pay whatever duties or whatever.

Apparently, when you use dhl,fedex, etc, they have their own customs agents assigned and everything is taken care for you.

Arriving from YUL to T3 @ 4:20pm. Leaving JFK from T4 for STN @ 6:45pm. 2 hrs 25 mins between flights. Is that enough time to clear customs, change terminals and check-in for departing flight to STN?

Take a taxi to New York Penn Station ($45)
and then Take a train to Newark Airport. (
For schedule go to www.njtransit.com

and look for a train from New York Penn Station to Newark Airport.

This is truly the fastest way.

I am reaching JFK at 4.35PM (16.35hrs) from Istanbul on Jan 5th 2008 and I have to catch connecting flight from Newark EWR to Indianapolis at 7.00PM (19.00hrs) on the same day. Can any one explain me the fastest way to recah EWR?
