Hello,

My uncle departed from Cambodia to Boston, MA with Korean airline and connected flight AA from JFK to Boston but he didn't know that he was supposed to
re-check his luggages again at JFK before boarding to Boston so he continued the flight to Boston without
re-checking his luggages.

What should he do in that chase?

thank you in advance for your help.

My two kids were flying from SVO to JFK flight 102 via Aeroflot airlines on 9/31/13. They had 5 bags checked in and one bag was never given to us. The person who was retrieving kids' bags stated "There are no more bags". An hour and a half later he called me from his personal cell phone and said that he found the bag. I am trying to reach ANYBODY at JFK terminal 1 to arrange the delivery of the bag but there is no live person to talk to. Please advise on further actions. Thank you.

Hello!! My husband is flying in from Morocco on Sept 5, 2013 (3 days from now). I am going to surprise him but do not want to miss seeing him as we live in Virginia (He is going to rent a car when he gets to the airport). He is not a US citizen so I don't know if their entry is different from US citizens. Where can I wait to be sure I see him come through?? I know his flight number and I know he will be coming through Terminal 1...that is all. I also know for a fact his cell phone will be turned off because knowing him, he will not charge it and he will still have his sim card from Morocco in it :-/ If I miss him, I will have to find a bus to take back to Virginia and won't be able to meet until the next day :-( Any help and info will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you :-)

My daughter is flying from Charlotte NC to JFK to Istanbul to Albania all on one ticket. If she tells them at initial baggage check that she wants her luggage checked thru does she need to do anything with it before getting on her flight to Istanbul?

My boss is flying from Texas into JFK on Jet Blue and connecting to Aeroflot to Moscow round trip. Please tell me what the legal connecting times are and if there is a better way to travel between terminals other than walking. I am afraid that he will have problems on the outbound flight.
