Hello, my family and i will arrive at JFK - terminal 3, via Delta at 2pm and have a flight out to Pisa, Italy via Delta 136 at 8:40Pm
1.Delta Flight 136 is this terminal 3 also? Is there luggage storage @ terminal 3 for our carry ons?Because...
2.We want to zip down to Time Square, I understand the route taking Airtrain to Jamaica Station (look for red signage), E to 50th, is this correct?
3.Is it correct that we can take the same route back to the airport? How much time should we allow for traveling each way?
4.Will we be considered checked in for jfk/psa flt 136 when we arrive to JFK from our origin, TPA? Or do we need to check in for that leg of the flight?
Any other advice or tips so we we don't screw this up would be welcomed!! Thanks
Landing by United 7112 from IAD at 01.34pm in terminal 7 can I take Air India 102 at 05.05pm at terminal 4. How much time does it take to reach terminal 4 from terminal 7. How much time is usually it takes for immigration.
Take the Airtrain on Track 2 from T7 to T4, about 5-10 minutes. You do not go through customs/immigration for departing international flights, only at your arrival airport.
