We'll be flying into JFK terminal 8 from Montreal in July, arriving 13.50 then flying out of terminal 4 for LAX at 17.00. Do we have enough time?

Yes, plenty of time. You will clear US customs in Montreal prior to departure. On arrival take AirTrain on track 2 from T8 to T4.

I have a flight from London to JFK with american airlines, I then have 4.5 hours to get to LGA for my connecting flight to DTW.

the question is, do American Airlines have a service that will transfer my checked baggage from JFK to LGA or will I have to take it myself? (i'm aware I will have to take them off the baggage carousel and through customs)

also, what sort of price shall I be expecting to pay for a cab from JFK to LGA?

We seem to have lost a bag when getting off the airtrain in the elevator. I am in Aruba with no clothes hope to find my bag. I can identify the bag with everything in it. Contact me at salmar@optonline.net

We are family from Europe. We have AA flight from Cancun to JFK which should land friday 2:20 pm and Finair flight to Helsinki at 6:45. Supose to be in the same terminal.
Do we have time to go through immigration and re-check in even if our flight from Cancun is 1 hour due?
Is that time busy in terminal8?

Hi,
Next summer we will make a transfer at JFK airport with final destination Miami. When we arrive at JFK terminal 8 what is the exact procedure to take this connection. (airline company for these 2 flights is American Airlines)
1. immigration
2. take luggage back
3. back to AA desk & check in again???
4. ...

Last year we had a direct flight with delta (final destination was jfk) & we arrived in terminal 2, we loosed more than 2 hours for immigration procedure, this year we have for our connection flight 3 hours, I hope this will be enough???

Thanks for your help.

I arrive into JFK from Brussels (BRU) at 12:40pm on (AA Terminal 8) and my connecting flight to Chicago (ORD) is at 2:30pm (AA Terminal 8). Is it possible to clear the immigration (non US citizen, no green card), customs and still make my connection? Is there any priority stand-in-line / service for Business class passengers in JFK T8? Any input/Suggestion is highly appreciated.
