it takes about 10 - 15 minutes, you could do so by the air train which is of no cost to you if only traveled within the airport (in your case, it is free) you could find the airtrain on the third floor.

My employer is traveling with an elderly man who had a difficult time getting to the airtram with all of his luggage when they arrived at JFK. I need to find a better way for him to get from terminal 1 to 4 for their return trip, is there a private car service (besides a cab) for hire to transport travelers between terminals?

Here is my question for the day...

Huband is flying in on Royal Air Maroc at 2:45pm. After he comes through the customs area, does anyone remember if Delta has a connection desk just outside of this area for passengers continuing on other Delta flight segements?

I thought I saw a desk to the right after I came through a couple of years ago. I think this will allow him to check his bags and check in to his next flight asap, so that all he has to worry about is hustling it over to the connecting terminal.

Thanks for your help.
