I'll be flying in to JFK today on AA1086 from DFW, supposedly arriving at Terminal 9 Gate 42. I'm planning to meet a friend there who's arriving on AA65 from ZRH, she's supposed to arrive at Terminal 8, Gate 8A.

We will both return JFK/DFW on AA437, but aa.com does not state terminal/gate information, yet.

Now, my questions to you frequent JFK travellers:

• Am I correct in assuming that AA437 will likely leave from Terminal 9 being a domestic flight?
• Should we have any preference concerning the Admiral's Clubs in Terminal 8 / Terminal 9? We have about 4 hours in JFK and it might be worth going to the nicer one.
• What are the procedures for getting from Terminal 8 to 9 and vice versa? The graphic on aa.com is not clear about whether this is "one building" and you can cross over or whether you have to leave one terminal and enter the other.

Any advice would be appreciated!
