We are planning a flight from LAX via JFK to HEL for my daughter. She will fly from Los Angeles at 8.11. AA34 16:30. The flight to Helsinki is 17:45 AY6. Only one hour and fifteen minutes to change. Is it enough?
She hasn't fly a lot and never alone, pour english though she is 20 years. Do you know if there is Finnairs personnel to get help.

Hi,

I'm traveling with American Airlines from Brussels to JFK and JFK to LAX. I'm arriving and departing at terminal 8. Since both my flights are with American Airlines, is it necessary that I check my baggage, or can I go straight to my departing gate when I arrive at JFK?

Hello. I am flying from Paris to RDU on one ticket with a stop in JFK via American Airlines. I only have 1h20 to make the change. I'm knowI have to pick up my leggage before clearing customs. Is there a quick drop off on the other side of customs at terminal 8 for my connecting flight. Or do I have to exit and re-enter. Do I have to clear security again?

Does terminal 8 have a pre-security area to hangout with family before going through checkpoints like terminal 4? Thanks in advance!

My relative is flying BOM-BRU-JFK-DCA on 12th Aug. Ticket is showing terminal 8 for arrival and departure of 9w226/AA3823. Which gate he will arrive in JFK and which gate to depart? secondly, whether he will have to pickup the luggage and check in again in AA3823? Thirdly, he will carry 69 kgs (student visa) plus cabin baggage from Bombay....does he have to pay extra baggage at JFK for AA3823 ? Immigration will be done at JFK? Please reply urgently...thanks a lot..

My parents are arriving at Terminal 8 - Finnair from Helsinki. They speak no English and are quite anxious about finding customs.
1) Are customs located in Terminal 8 or do they need to take the airport train?
2) Is there more than one way to exit the customs area?
3) If they miss me by the custom area exit, what would be a good meeting point?
