Well, if you have ipad with wifi and 3G and you have registered on the apple website. You could just do a "find my ipad" using the GPS, apple can trace it for you.

Never done it before so don't exactly know how. Try it, though I suppose what it does is simply geographically locate it, at least you'd know where it is at, what you do with it...is entirely up to you. Hehe

Hi there!

We're now launching a legal case against an airline that trapped us in JFK for 29 hrs in March last year demonstrating really unfriendly and illegal behavior towards its passengers. Whom do you think it's better to contact in JFK to try and get a formal statement stating the time when the airport was actually closed due to weather conditions (hurricane) and when it was opened again - it was closed only for 3-4 hrs, while the delay was about 29 hrs, the rest being purely management's fault.
Thanks!

Hi, I'll arrive at terminal 1 at 17:00 from Russia (Aeroflot). Do I have enough time to catch a flight at 19:00 to Denver (Delta) from the terminal 3 (I have no luggage, but I think is it enough time to pass and clear the security and custom and register for Denver flight)?
Thanks.

My laggages (two suitecases) were missing.
We just arrived at Boston Logan airport from JFK (NY).
We came from Japan (KIX) and arrived JFK by China airline (Flight # 20), but my laggages came out too late. One employee of China airline said to me " It is too late to put you laggage on the next plane". But another employee said "You should go to the next flight (Delta) as soon as possible. I will negotiate to the Delta and put them on the plane." My laggage number are "CI 707312" and "CI 707313". The employee of Delta could not track these numbers, because these are the tracking number of China airline. So what should I do???

Hi,

Please, do you have an answer for me? I am trying to figure out how is it possible to get from Arrival Zone of Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 Arrival Zone? Is it possible at all?

Me and my friend flying with different companies to different terminals of JFK. We would like to meet and get a taxi together to Manhattan.

Thank you.
