My wife and 2 kids are flying in tomorrow. How can they get help to load luggage onto the cart and push it through customs? Is there Skycap services within the baggage claim area? Thanks.
My son is travelling from Zurich to San Jose (Costa Rica) by AA on Christmas. His transit time is 2hrs45min. He has to go through immigration and custom. It’s his first time to travel alone and his age is 15 and not so fluent in English.
Is there any detailed description of how and where to proceed?
Hi, we are arriving from SFO on AA at terminal 8 at 16:10 and departing on AerLingus at 18:30 via terminal 4. Can you tell me where to catch the train and how long this transfer will take? Thanks for you help.
I have an American Airlines flight in November that arrives from London at approx 11:30pm and my connection departs to San Francisco the next morning at 7:00am.
Where is the best place to sit and wait it out at the airport? I looked at hotels and its at least $160 w/transportation for about 5 hours so I'm not going to do that.
Can I check in for my 7:00am flight after I clear customs and go thru security to my gate and wait there? If not, any suggestions on where to wait at the airport?
I'm guessing that Terminal 8 is the same terminal where my flight will arrive and depart since they are both American Airlines flights.
Thanks!
For your AA flight you can check as early as 3am , but no earlier than that. You can go to T4(via Airtrain)and spend the hours there - the building is open 24/7.
Is there an international transit area @ JFK's Terminal 8 or do I need to do immigration when travelling from Europe to Costa Rica via JFK on AA?!

I am reaching JFK from cleveland by american eagle airlines at 2 pm and then I have a connecting AA flight to BRU at 6.30 pm at terminal 8. Since both are terminal 8 , do I have to go thru security checkpoint? Also is there any duty free shops available in terminal 8. Thanks
Hi I'm due to arrive from Manchester & only have 1hr 15 mins to clear US immigration. Do you know how long it takes roughly? I'll be on AA211 switching to AA4146 - I think they are both T8 - please do you have any tips to try to make that connection? Thanks
Your connection time is VERY tight so pray that your flight from Manchester arrives on-time (early is better!). Customs/Immigration normally takes 30-45 minutes on a good day, then you'll need to clear security again for your connecting departure.
