You are mentioning returning on an ESTA. I just applied for a new ESTA since the old one was expired. But it is the same passport I used on the previous ESTA. So this means I cannot use the kiosks at JFK when I arrive in end of March to T8? But I will be going back to the US in April on the same ESTA to ORD, then I can use the APC kiosks there (if they have it?)
How long is the waiting time for luggage at JFK? I will be arriving in T8 with AA from LHR in C class. Just roughly estimate and priority tags on luggage also does not matter with AA?
