All good advice, except for #3. You won't need to use buses to get from terminal to terminal. The AirTrain will get you from T4 to T8 in less than 10 minutes. Follow the signs.
Have a safe trip.
I am flying with Finnair from China to Helsinki and from Helsinki to Iceland. The flight from China arrives at 14:35 and the flight to Iceland leaves 16:00. Do I have enough time? If the flight from China is delayed and i won't get on the flight to Iceland, will Finnair pay for a new ticket to Iceland (because of their delay)..
Is there anyplace in Terminal 8 where a non-passenger can wait and have lunch befor the passenger departs?

This upcoming Tuesday I will be flying to Helsinki Finland from JFK airport via Finnair. I would like to drink some beer before my flight departure. Are there any bars at the airport so I can drink? It doesnt matter whether I have to go to another terminal I will?
Most terminals have bars/restaurants where you can purchase alcoholic beverages.
I would like to go from JFK airport to LGA airport on November the 27th. My plane will land at 3.55pm at JFK and I take another plane at LGA 8pm. Are there straight shuttles or buses to go there ? How much is it ?Can i bay with cash? where can I buy the tickets ?
Thanks a lot.
There are shuttle buses. They cost about $10. They are not easy to find however and leave from odd locations. Take a cab for $ 27 + tip.
Hello!
I have a flight from CDG (Paris) to YUL (Montreal) with American Airlines. I have a stop at JFK, it lasts about 1 hour.
My flight from Paris arrives at T8 and my departure flights to Montreal is also in T8.
I just read the comments, and I saw that maybe 1h wont be enough, because I have to pick up my luggage and...clear custom?
Do you think I have to do this even if both my flights are with AA ? Or they will take care of my luggage and everything?
I bought tickets with expedia.ca, and they said 1h was enough, but according to what a read here, i'm not sure anymore...
JFK is a hit or miss. Depending on what time of the day you arrive, customs might be very busy or not. I once made it through customs in 10 minutes. Another time it took me over two hours. I'd suggest you inform the flight crew that you have a tight connection so that you can maybe exit the plane ahead of other people. Normally, you always have to clear customs upon arrival in the U.S. even if you have a continuing flight no matter where. After passport control, which takes the most amount of time, you simply collect your bags and walk through customs. Then drop off your bags at the bag drop area. That usually does not take much time. Then you will have to proceed through security again, which might cause a delay. Mind that you have to be at your next flight 15 minutes ahead of the departure, so you will have only 45 minutes to go through customs and security. It is doable unless you are traveling on a peak travel day during peak travel time, in which case you will most likely miss your connecting flight.
Good morning.
I am an Italian citizen. To come back to Italy, I will arrive to JFK terminal 8 from SFO with an AA flight at 3:30pm. I have an AA flight to Madrid at 5:25 pm, from terminal 8, and finally will get to Italy.
I would like to know if:
1. I have to clear customs in JFK,
2. I have to collect and re-check my luggage or it will arrive at the final destination,
3. 1h55min is enough time for doing this.
Thank you in advance.
1. You don't clear customs when you leave USA
2. No, most likely AA will check it through; ask the in SFO
3. Yes, the time frame is sufficient.
