Do you have 1 hour 40 minutes or 11 hours and 40 minutes? If only 1 hour 40 minutes it might be tight but everything will at least be in the same terminal. Yes, you are correct on what you have to do when arriving at JFK.

Yes sorry, i meant 1 hour 40 :) All right, hope they will wait for me as every flight is with AA! Thank you!

These are your parking options at JFK (your time to get to your departing gate should certainly suffice): 1. Short-term/ Daily Parking is available color-coded lots: green (Terminals 1, 2 & 3), blue (Terminal 4), yellow (Terminal 5 - garage and lot), orange (Terminal 7) and red (Terminal 8) lots adjacent to each terminal. 2. Long-term Parking lot is located at Lefferts Blvd., 4 miles from Terminals and reached by AirTrain. 3. E-ZPass Plus Cash/Credi card is available in the Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Long-Term Lots. 4. Express Pay parking machines are in all of the central terminal area parking lots, AirTrain JFK stations, and more.

No language skills are needed at JFK - international sign are clearly understandable. Terminal Maps are also posted - the Airline Terminal Train circle is marked in yellow. See: http://www.panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airport-map.html. After boarding train at T8, the next stops are T7, then T5. At T5 he needs to proceed to the departure level, go through security check and on to his departure gate. NOTE: if your friend's first airline does not transfer bags to connecting airline, he needs to take his bags to T5 and check them in at the connecting airline's desk before proceeding to his gate.

Thank you for the instructions:) As there will be no bag transfer from the first airline, he has to pick up his luggage. Are the baggage claim area and the Airline Terminal Train situated in the different levels of the T8?

Find out from Air Berlin if they will forward your bags on arrival at JFK to your connecting JetBlue flight - if not you would have to take your bag along on the Airtrain & check it in at JetBlue counter in T5. The Airtrain runs on average every 7 mins and taking of no more than 15 mins.). As an international arrival at JFK you need to go through passport check, pick up bag and go through customs clearance - then re-check-in your bag (if AirBerlin transfers) and proceed to the Airtrain - follow signs - you arrive at T5 at pre-security and need to go through security check before proceeding to your gate.

At JFK, if you have enough time in the morning before departing to Cincinnati, go straight to Terminal 4 and check in your bags with Ethihad. (If you didn't print out your boarding pass before, print it out at the nearby machine). Then take the Airtrain to Terminal 2 for your Cincinnati flight (it runs about every 7 mins between terminals and takes minutes to T4.) On arrival at JFK in the evening at T2, all you would need then is to take Airtrain to T4, go through security check and on to your connecting gate: At T4, the Departure level opens up to the Concourse level, with Concourse A and gates A2-7, and Concourse B with gates B20-30. It has an inside AirTrain station - but pre-security.

Terminal 8 serves members of the Oneworld Alliance and is mainly used by American Airlines; United belongs to the Star Alliance - yo need to claim your bag on arrival at T8 and take it to T7, where you need to check it in with United and get your boarding pass; then go through security check and on to your connecting gate. You have plenty of time - provided regular service is back at JFK at that time - and that is not certain! At this writing, all air traffic to the North of New York is canceled.

I don't understand why you booked a flight return from JFK via MIA back to PBI, as Delta and US Airways both fly directly from PBI to NYC. I presume that your mother lives at or in the vicinity of West Palm Beach; the person who brings your mother to the airport should get a wheelchair by approaching the Skycaps outside; then go to the airline counter - checking in bags (if needed) and getting boarding pass, as well as a special pass to take your mother to the gate. On arrival at JFK you should be at the gate (get a special pass and a wheelchair from the airline counter) and meet her there. The reluctance of Airlines to take on the responsibility is understandable. You may still want to contact the Airline requesting wheelchair assistance. You need to cut down travel time by using only two airports - adding on return MIA is just too stressful under the circumstances for your mother! P.S. don't know what you mean by paperwork - these are domestic flights, all she needs is to have is a ticket, a boarding pass & a passport or drivers license with another picture ID.

While your connection via Airtrain, running on average every 8 mins at pre-security areas of all terminals, and taking only 15 mins from T7 to T1 - you need to find out if your first airline will transfer your checked bags to your second airline (if using 2 different airlines)- if not, you need to claim your bags on arrival and re-check them in at T1 - in both instances you need to go through security check before proceeding to your connecting gate. You have enough time.

1. As international arrival at JFK you need to go you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes). This can take from 35mins to an hour, depending on the line ahead of you. Thereafter you get to your connecting terminal via AirTrain (free within the Airport), which runs continuously every 7 mins and serves all terminals in the unsecured areas (follow signs). On arrival at JFK look at the overhead screen to find your connecting flight number, gate & time

You need to contact your airline's lost & found department.

I have a listing for Tuesday, flight HA 50 from Honolulu arriving at JFK 6:55am. JFK site has not yet included Hawaiian Airlines in its airline listings and there is no terminal designation available yet. I suggest you call JFK at (718) 244 2444.
