You can recheck-in your bags at Finair connecting flights counter at T8.
Check with Delta on your way back even I am sure they will check the bags all the way through.

I am arriving from Washington DC at Terminal 8 by AA and then I have to take an IB flight departing from Terminal 7. Flights are not connected so I have to pick up my baggage and make again the check in for the IB flight

To be on the safe side, how many hours should I need to make a comfortable transfer?

Thank you in advance.

In this case you will need at least 3 hours in between the flights - roughly 1 hour to pick up the bags and transfer between the terminals and 2 hours to check-in for your next flight.
Even you have the flights on two separate tickets you still can ask AA to check your bags all the way through(just show them the second ticket). I have seen them doing that sometimes.

I am flying into Terminal 4 with my family from Doha with Qatar Airlines and need to catch American Airlines flight from Terminal 8 to Toronto. The time between these flights is 2 hrs 10 min. How do I get to Terminal 8 from Terminal 4? Do I need to go through Customs & Immigration?

Cheers

Take Airtrain on the third floor of T4 , on any track , to T8.
You will clear customs and immigration after you land at T4.

This is what you have to do :
-clear immigration
-pick up your bags(if you have any)
-clear US customs
-transfer the bags at Etihad connecting flights counter(of you have any)
-go to the third floor and take Airtrain on ANY track to T8.
- clear security on the third floor of T8 and look for the gate for the flight to Columbus.

-clear immigration
-pick up your bags(if you have any)
-clear US customs
-transfer the bags at AA connecting flights counter(of you have any)
-go to the third floor for clearing security
Then look for your gate for the flight to Columbus.

The time is very tight for you - hope that LHR flight is not late.
You will have 30-40 min in immigration/customs, another 10 min to transfer your bags and probably 10-15 min to clear security.
Keep in mind that AA will close the boarding process 10-15 min before the departure time.

Hello,

My wife is arriving from Finland with infant. She has just 2h 15 min to transfer to AA flight to SFO. The questions are:
--> She is arriving to and departing from Terminal 8 and she need to pass immigration and custom and then return to the terminal. Does it mean she need to pass passport control twice?
--> How far is the passport control & custom from the gates?
--> Can I order an assistance for her in advance?

Thanks!
