Call AA or ask at check-in in Las Vegas if they will check your bags through to Madrid since they are codeshare with Iberia. If so they should also be able to give you your Iberia boarding pass so when you arrive at T8 you just have to the Airtrain one stop to T7, go through security and not have to worry about re-checking bags. If AA cannot do this you will need to claim your bags at T8 and go to T7 to re-check.

What is the process for getting to our next flight? We're coming into JFK from Europe (are US Citizens) and then going on a domestic flight home.

Do we need to gather our luggage from our international AA flight, then go through immigration, then check in our luggage again at the AA counter for the AA domestic flight?

If so, how long does this usually take on a Weds. afternoon around 2-3pm?

Thanks for the help!

Hi, I'm arriving on Jet Airlines (terminal 8)and I will need to transfer to American Airlines also in terminal 8. I was wondering how the baggage will be handled? My tickets are to Chicago.

I am flying Virgin America (terminal 4) to JFK and then going to terminal 8 and flying to Copenhagen via Finnair... We are not checking luggage. Is two hours enough time to make it through security and get to the gate? Should I look in to changing my flight?

I'm arriving on American Airlines (T8) at 8:55pm from LAX, but then I have to catch a Delta Airlines (T3) to Dublin, Ireland at 10:25pm. My travel agent told me that my checked-in baggage on AA needs to be checked out and then cleared at customs before I check it in again at Delta in order to fly to Dublin. Is this correct? Also, where is customs between T8 and T3? Lastly, if my travel agent is correct, will I have enough time to clear customs, check-in my baggage, and then make my flight at 10:25pm? Thanks!

Which gate numbers are these flights:

  • AY005 from Helsinki friday at 3:50pm
  • AA613 to Miami friday at 6:15pm

    Do I have enough time since there's only couple of hours in-between for immigration and all...? I must take all my luggage out of there to go thru customs, correct?

    Thanks

  • BA to T7 connecting to Pittsburgh two hours later at T5 is that enough time? Similarly on the way back, 2 hours again. Thanks!

    Hi I am on the AA1772 which lands at 1620 and have a jet airways flight at 1810 hrs is it enough time to take bags and get to jet airways counter

    I am a US Citizen and will be arriving from Nice, France on Delta, is 1 hour and 30 mins enough time to clear US Customs and make a connecting flight to ATL on a Saturday afternoon?

    I will be landing to terminal 1 with Turkish airlines from İstanbul at 13:00 and will try to catch a domestic flight from terminal 8 at 14:45? Will that be sufficient considering max 15 min delay for inbound flight?

    Best regards

    I am arriving on Jet airways from Tel Aviv at 12:15pm. I have a separately booked flight departing to LAX at 9pm. I would like to send my luggage from the post office located in JFK to an address in Boston since I will be moving there in a few weeks. How do I get to the JFK post office from here? I will need to send one bag media mail, and one parcel mail, is this post office full service, and will it let me send items using locked luggage as the container?
