I am on an AA international flight from Milan to JFK, but my final destination is Knoxville. As part of immigration, will my bags come out and need to be rechecked before I go to the gate for my next flight? If so, and I want to stay in NYC and skip the second flight to Knoxville, can I just leave and take my bags with me?

We are departing this Thursday Mar. 3rd at 7:30am on AA from JFK Terminal 8 to St. Maarten in the Caribbean. Question: is the security line huge at Terminal 8 that time? We are a film camera crew of 6 and will have a fair amount of gear. The AA rep at the main phone number had no idea--but I thought you may.

Thanks, Bob

I will be flying BCN-JFK-LAS and have 1hrs 25mins exchange time. Is that enough so that I will make it to the flight to LAS (arrive&leave Terminal 8), if I don't have hand luggage and need to go through the immigration and customs as well?

I'm flying from Milano to JFK next wednesday and I'll have 1 hour and 20 minutes to catch my next flight to Puerto Rico (I'll arrive and leave from Terminal 8). Will that be enough time? Shall I pass through the USA custom? I'll just have my hand baggage with me. Thank you.

It will be kind of tight for you since you have to pass the immigration and customs at JFK. Good new is that you don't have to wait for the bags and that will be a BIG plus. You should be fine with that time frame.

I am scheduled to arrive at JFK On Thurs May 26, 2011 at 5:40 am on an LY international flight, Terminal 3. connecting flight to Boston MA at 8:50, departing from Terminal 8. What are transportation arrangements between terminals? Will I have enough time, considering customs, etc. to make this flight to Boston?

Due to a change in flight schedules, I will be flying in from San Juan in June, on American Airlines they have only given us a 35 minute layover -- for our connecting flight to Cleveland. From the map it looks as if we arrive/depart from the same terminal, and we should have plenty of time. Is that correct, or will we have to attempt to cross the entire airport in 35 minutes? The connecting flight is also American Airlines (operated by American Eagle).

Hi,
I am travelling from OHIO to CHENNAI.
i would be coming to JFK through a domestic flight (american airlines) and from JFK i would be taking JetAirways to Chennai (India).
Both the flights are in the same terminal - 8.
Do i need to checkout the luggage and checkin again or will the luggage gets automatically transferred at JFK to the JetAirways international flight?
Do i need to go through security checking again?
Thanks a lot.

I am arriving from Chennai by Jet airways Flight No:226 and I am booked to PHX by Delta Airlines. Jet arrives at Terminal 8 and Delta departs for PHX from terminal 3.Please clarify whether Delta accepts the Checked in baggages at their counter in Terminal 8 or else we have to carry ourselves to terminal 3? We are old and we have 4 checked in baggages .
