JFK Layover Ideas DISCUSSION

We have an overnight layover at JFK and got a room at Hilton. Am I correct that we will need to collect our checked bags and then recheck everything next morning? Final destination is Aruba.

Would it be a good idea to try and go into the city at all if I have at least a 6 hr layover?
ZAP 02/22/2018
No, that's not realistically enough time. It takes 90 minutes each way and you'll have to be back at JFK 90 minutes before your flight, so that would only leave like 2 hours in the city.

No, Terminal 8 is not connected to any other terminals inside security.

We are landing at JFK at 6am and our flight doesn't depart until after 10pm is there somewhere that we can sleep?
ZAP 01/17/2018
Not really. You could try to sleep on the floor. When you arrive, you could call nearby hotels and tell them your situation and see if they have rooms available immediately. There are not currently any hotels on airport property.

Landing at JFK 7:15am with Delta (terminal 2) and getting on the flight at 8am JetBlue (Terminal 5) on Tuesday morning. Is it enough time for layover? What is the fastest way to make it to this flight at 8am? Please help!

coming from PDX to JFK and on to Athens we have 2 hour lay over is it enough?
Valerie 09/14/2017
I will be arriving early morning from a Jet Blue red eye flight from Sacramento to get a connection to the cruise port. Check in for cruise is not until 1pm. I would like to spend a few hours in the lounge but what happens to my bag in baggage claim since there will be a delay in picking it up?

Hi

I am taking a flight from Abudhabi to Jfk arriving at 9:45 am and have another flight from Jfk to toronto departing at 11:50
I understand that there is preclearance in Abudhabi so would i have enough time to transfer? Arrive in terminal 4 and depart from 1
ZAP 07/05/2017
No flights to Toronto depart from Terminal 1. What airline are you flying to Toronto? Are both flights on the same reservation?
Ms187 07/05/2017
Flight to toronto is on Delta, the booking says t1 but there on seperate reservations

I'm arriving at LGA from Toronto on July 1st at 9:35, and flying to DGA at 2:29. Do I have time to leave the airport and do some sightseeing?
