AA CONNECTED FLIGHT
Dear Sirs,
My mother is flying from Barcelona to Cancun via JFK. She has a connected AA flight from BCN to CUN, so I understand she has no need of taking her luggage at JFK since it will be checked in BCN to final destination CUN. I guess she has only to go through customs, right?
She is arriving at Terminal 1 and departing again from T8; does she need to fill the ESTA documents just for a connection or will she only be asked to show her electronic UE Passport to go to the gate to CUN?
Thank you in advance!

item forgotten at Korean Air Lounge
Would you have the phone number for the Korean Air Lounge at JFK?
Before I flew on Friday May 21 to Istanbul, I spent about an hour at Korean Air Lounge at JFK and used my notebook computer. After I boarded the aircraft I noticed that I forgot my computer mouse at the lounge. It is brand new and not a cheap one. I asked the airline after landing in Istanbul to contact the lounge but I am not sure how much effort they are putting into it.
