Anyway, I am quite worried about a 1hr25 connection. I was planning on taking luggage but I suspect that is now a bad idea. Realistically is 1h25 enough? I have a US pp which may expedite my journey through immigration a bit, but still. I assume I need to reclear security within T8 but I have never done T8-T8 that I can recall. I'm arriving on a Thursday afternoon in January, is that a busy time? I have dinner plans in San Fran that I would rather change now if I am going to miss my flight. It is all one ticket so I am protected, but the next direct flight to SF is 1hr45 later and gets me there beyond a reasonable dinner time!
many thanks
A 1:25 connection obviously doesn't leave much room for error, but even with checked bags is still perfectly do-able at JFK. JFK T8 as a whole isn't near as busy as it used to be, AA has cut tons of flights, and January in general is not a busy month at all for flying.
Personally I wouldn't worry and just go with it, you'll know well in advance of your dinner reservation (either in HEL or JFK) if things were to look dicey so could hopefully reschedule or shuffle things around with plenty of notice.
