My flight
I am am arriving into JFK in Terminal 4 and my next flight is in terminal one. Since I will be arriving from the UAE I will have to get my luggage and go back though customs to go to Gate 1? Will the customs be in Terminal 1 or do I go somewhere else? And by the map I am seeing it looks like the Terminals aren't connected so would there be a shuttle that I can take? Where would I catch the shuttle? This is my first time flying by myself and I only have a 3 hour layover so I want to make up I understand everything.
Thanks!

My parents will arrive at
My parents will arrive at JFK airport from an international flight by China Eastern Airlines, and then will fly to Atlanta by Delta. The tickets were bought seperately. I understand that their luggage need to be claimed and re-checked in after customs check. It seems that China Eastern Airlines is in Terminal 1 and Delta is in Terminal 3. Where are they going to check-in their Delta flights and check-in/drop the luggage? Somewhere just near the customs counter in the same terminal (1)? Or, in Terminal 3?
Thanks!!
