Arrving at JFK from Brussels on 16th 12:30 PM. My connection flight to seattle is on 16th 16:20 PM. Do i have time enough to finish immigration, collect baggage and then meet my friend at Terminal Exit.
PS:
- Terminal would stay the same for both the flights.
- I could do without the risk but got a parcel to hand-over.
JFK is IN Queens, so you will have no trouble getting to the Stadium in time. There are many transportation options, but the most direct route is a 15 minute cab ride, about 20 dollars.
I used AirTrain to the new JetBlue Terminal 5 last week, and it is very convenient. Several moving sidewalks easily get you into the terminal in about 3 minutes from the time you step off the Train.
Hi, we will be flying in to JFK on a Sunday and will be landing at 12.20pm. I want to be in Queens to catch a college basketball game by 2.00pm. Assuming it takes us until 1.00pm to clear immigration and get our bags, is it possible to get to queens in an hour? If so, by airtrain and subway/ or by cab? ANY advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
