Question BOS to Curacao - layover JFK

Hi - I have flown JetBlue a number of times before but never out of the country and never through JFK. I am not familiar with the set up for JetBlue at JFK.

As we are flying out of the country, will we be changing terminals for that? If so - how much time do we need to allow? Is it a difficult place to figure out?

On our way back in to the country we have a 2 hour layover. Is that enough for Immigration etc.?

Thanks for any help or suggestions to make this go smoothly!

All one terminal.

If two hours is not enough time for the connection at JFK on the return, JetBlue will just have to put you on the next available flight to BOS -- assuming that the CUR-JFK and JFK-BOS flights are both on the same ticket.

OP - Not only Immigration, but Customs will be at JFK as well. Presuming one ticket, your bags will be tagged to BOS, but you will collect them at JFK, carry them through Customs and then drop them (but not have to stand in line to recheck) after Customs.

If this is bookable, it is within MCT.

Nope.

Nope. Only ~28 gates and they're sequentially numbered. Longest walk is ~8 minutes.

For US/Canada citizens or returning ETSA visitors, absolutely. With the kiosks in place the lines move pretty quick.

Thank you all very much. We recently got Global Entry also. Assume that will help.

It will, though with the typical wait to get checked bags off the plane you'll just have more time to hang out waiting for the bags.
