I have seen those kinds of events aired usually at the bars at the airport. There is a bar called "Drink Martini Bar" near gate 4 at Terminal 8.

If I'm arriving by Cathay pacific CX flight HKG-JFK in terminal 7 at 7:05am and wanted to take another flight to boston by AA at 8:15am JFK-BOS, is that enough time for me to clear immigration and claim my bags, transfer to terminal 8 and re-check in ? what is a good allowance time for such transfer ? can I check in my bag all the way from HKG to BOS ?

I don't think you will be able to make AA flight. Even they check your bags all the way through BOS. You have to pick then up anyway at JFK in order to go through customs. The whole process in immigration and customs may take up to one hour. Then you have to re-check you bags. Since the flight is very big expect lines everywhere on your way. Transferring from terminal 7 to T8 will take you no more than 15 min.

I'm arriving at terminal 8 from Las Vegas with AA at 16:00h connecting with an international flight operated by Iberia with codeshare AA(madrid) at 18:00h. terminal 7.
I don´t know If I have to pick up my baggage to terminal 7, and if I have to recheck-in
Is it enough time?
Thank you

Call AA or ask at check-in in Las Vegas if they will check your bags through to Madrid since they are codeshare with Iberia. If so they should also be able to give you your Iberia boarding pass so when you arrive at T8 you just have to the Airtrain one stop to T7, go through security and not have to worry about re-checking bags. If AA cannot do this you will need to claim your bags at T8 and go to T7 to re-check.

What is the process for getting to our next flight? We're coming into JFK from Europe (are US Citizens) and then going on a domestic flight home.

Do we need to gather our luggage from our international AA flight, then go through immigration, then check in our luggage again at the AA counter for the AA domestic flight?

If so, how long does this usually take on a Weds. afternoon around 2-3pm?

Thanks for the help!

Thank you so much for answering my questions!

You will go through immigration, pick up your bags, go through customs and then re-check your bags at AA connecting flights counter for your domestic flight.
After that just go to the third floor of Terminal 8 , go through security and look for the gate for your flight.
It takes somewhere between 30 -50 min.
