Time allowance between flightsMar 22, 201340How much time should I allow between International flight and connection to USAlpposted on Fri, Mar 22[ Reply ][ Like ]It depends where you're coming from and where you're connecting.ZAPposted on Fri, Mar 22As an international arrival in the US you need to go through passport check, pick up your bags, go through customs clearance, and (if continuing your flight) re-check-in your bag where indicated. That can take up between 40 & 60 mins; if you need to change terminals for your connecting flight, you need time to get there and go through security check before proceeding to your gate - could be another hour. I strongly suggest you open www.ifly.com, add your Airport name or Code on top, then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text for airport & terminal information.frmar13posted on Fri, Mar 22Coming from Flight from Frankfurt to Toronto to Minneapolis I have 1hour and 6 minutes if flight from Frankfurt is on timelpposted on Fri, Mar 22I would budget at least 3 hours. You'll have to clear Canadian immigration upon arrival, then go to the US departures area, then clear US Immigration and security procedures all in Toronto. The advantage being that your arrival into Minneapolis will be like a normal domestic flight in the US.ZAPposted on Fri, Mar 22

Transfer Time between 2E and 2FMar 21, 201311Air France has only given me 65 minutes to make my international connection. I arrive at 2E and my connection is at 2F. Is this even possible? Do I have to take the bus between terminals or can I walk without having to go through security?ljsposted on Thu, Mar 211 person likes this post [ Like ]

IPL imperial county airportMar 20, 201320I live in europe, usually I take a fligth from here to (IPL) imperial county, the itinerary has 1 or 2 stop, either new york - los angeles etc... I'ts been days I am triying to find a fligth and none of the search engines as e-dreams, expedia, momondo or any small company found it, I been calling to the airport but the answer machine keeps telling me is close or you are far from your desk. Kindly let me know if the airport is close or the fligth IPL - los angeles or any other stop to IPL doesn't exist anymore... if so let me know if there any other way to arrive to the airport form another city. I'm desperate please help!!!***posted on Tue, Mar 19Starting next month, a new airline will be flying to IPL called SeaPort Airlines. You have to book your flights with them on a separate reservation and their flights to IPL will go from San Diego instead of Los Angeles. Alternatively, if you don't want to take SeaPort, the San Diego airport is a 193 km drive from Imperial and the Palm Springs airport is a 160 km drive from Imperial. http://seaportair.com/ZAPposted on Wed, Mar 20

Please let me know, so we can inform our guest before his departure tomorrow morning what he can expect upon arrival.LeMeridienBposted on Tue, Mar 19Your guest needs to contact his first airline to arrange for transfer. If that is too late, he needs to advise his flight attendant of his upcoming need. I suggest that he open www.ifly.com/jfk, then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text (re international arrivals procedure, and terminal transfers (P.S.: I have Brussels Airline listed as being at Terminal 8.)tumar13posted on Tue, Mar 19

Changing Airlines in JFKMar 18, 201320We will be flying on Air Canada from Quebec City (YQB) to JFK with ether a transfer in Montreal or Toronto. In JFK will be taking Turkish airlines to Istanbul Here are my questions 1) Is it possible to check the bag all they way through to Istanbul even with two bookings that way will not pay the 25$? 2) Second will we have to go through US custom at JFK and recheck our bags with Turkish? If so how much time is recommended ThanksYQBposted on Sun, Mar 17You generally aren't able to check a bag through when you purchase two separate reservations. You will clear US immigration in Montreal or Toronto, not JFK. If you purchase the tickets on two separate reservations, you will have to claim your baggage at the regular domestic baggage claim in JFK and re-check it with Turkish. I'd want at least 2 hours to do that, preferably 2.5.ZAPposted on Sun, Mar 17Also note that Air Canada arrives at Terminal 7 of JFK Airport, while Turkish Airlines uses Terminal 1. Look for the sign for the 'Airline Terminals Train' which makes its continuous loop around the terminals; however it stops in the unsecured areas, meaning you need, after checking your bag in with Turkish, to go through security check at Terminal 1 before proceeding to your connecting gate.momar13posted on Mon, Mar 18

Transfer timesFeb 27, 201310I fly into Terminl 5 at JFK from Dublin (having pre-cleared customs and border control) and I am flying on to Tampa (also from Terminal 5). There is 90 mins between flights and my bags will be checked through. Is that enough time?LizCposted on Wed, Feb 27Are you sure you arrive & depart from Terminal 5 which has gates 1 to 25. Note, however:my list only shows Hawaiian & JetBue airlines from this terminal). Check your ticket. If indeed T5, you simly walk over to your connecting gate. Otherwise, I suggest you open www.ifly.com/jfk then click on 'Terminal Map' under QUICK LINKS and scroll down to the detailed text for terminal details & connections via the Airline Terminals Train, running continuously between all terminals, but in the unsecured area, requiring going through security check before proceeding to connecting gate.wedfeb13posted on Wed, Feb 27
