Take Airtrain on the third floor of T4 , on any track , to T8.
You will clear customs and immigration after you land at T4.

This is what you have to do :

-clear US customs
-transfer the bags at Etihad connecting flights counter(of you have any)
-go to the third floor and take Airtrain on ANY track to T8.

Which airlines are flying in/out of JFK?
JFK_E

Both american airlines.... AA-131 london to jfk and AA-4692 JFK to CMH

This is what you have to do after you land:
-clear immigration
-pick up your bags(if you have any)
-clear US customs
-transfer the bags at AA connecting flights counter(of you have any)
-go to the third floor for clearing security
Then look for your gate for the flight to Columbus.

The time is very tight for you - hope that LHR flight is not late.
You will have 30-40 min in immigration/customs, another 10 min to transfer your bags and probably 10-15 min to clear security.
Keep in mind that AA will close the boarding process 10-15 min before the departure time.

Thank you so much sir...

Hello,

My wife is arriving from Finland with infant. She has just 2h 15 min to transfer to AA flight to SFO. The questions are:
--> She is arriving to and departing from Terminal 8 and she need to pass immigration and custom and then return to the terminal. Does it mean she need to pass passport control twice?
--> How far is the passport control & custom from the gates?
--> Can I order an assistance for her in advance?

Thanks!

1. She have to pass immigration and customs upon entering the US, not the terminal.
Here is what she has to do :
-pass immigration
-pick up her bags(if any)
-pass customs control
-transfer her bags(if any)
-clear security
-look for the gate for her next flight

2.Immigration/customs are on the first floor, gates are on the third floor.It depends where the gate is it could be up to 10-15 min walk.

3. I am not sure if you can do it in Helsinki - let her ask the airline employees once she lands at JFK.
