 (lower right wiki corner)JFK / New York John F. Kennedy International Airport Interterminal Connections (Consolidated thread)  JFK Airport Terminals Map There is no reasonable way to travel between JFK terminals other than the AirTrain, which is landside (outside of security). The only airside inter-terminal service is the Delta shuttle bus between T2 (gate C60) and T4 (gates B18 and B54.) The on-airport AirTrain is free, shows as a yellow line on maps and travels in a anti/counter-clockwise direction. The clockwise Howard Beach and Jamaica Station trains arrive from outside the airport at Terminal 1 and depart the airport after stopping at Terminal 8. Whilst these trains are free while on-airport, they are not free if one goes past the airport. See here for a map of the system and further information. Link to PDF map and information about JFK AirTrain. Link to online (moderately helpful) airport guide There are two places to store your luggage at JFK Airport New York. Terminal 4 at JFK (near the Arrivals area - call 718.751.2947 for information) offers a 24-hour luggage storage service in NY. Depending on the size of your bag, NYC luggage storage rates range between $4- $16 per day. Terminal 1 at JFK also features a baggage storage service in NYC. (Call 718.751.2947 for information.) This service is also located near the Arrivals area, and is open from 7am- 11pm. NYC luggage storage rates at Terminal 1 also range between $4- $16 per day.

Switching Terminals at JFK (T4-T8) - how much time?
I apologize in advance if this isn't the correct forum. I can't seem to identify where exactly this question should go.
Next week, I'll be arriving at JFK at 0625 (on a Sunday AM) in Terminal 4 (Delta). My connecting flight departs at 0750 from Terminal 8 (American).
JFK is one of those airports I haven't transited before and normally, I wouldn't care. However, I'll have my wife and 6yo daughter with me and want to be clear on how to proceed.
1) I assume I have to take the air train. Is there more than one? Which one?
2) Will I have to clear security after departing terminal 4 (both domestic segments)
3) In general, will 1 hour and 25 minutes be enough time?
Thank you in advance!

The sky train works and u can connect to t8 this way. Do u have checked bags? This will make the connection tight depending on if u are delayed with delta. Do u have status with american or pre check? This will also help on a kick re entry of security at t8?

I am AS MVPG so I have Priority AAccess.
Hoping for a nice tail wind. Looking at the flight history (random red-eyes from SEA-JFK, they can either come in early or late and not much consistency)

You are going to need to hustle. The airtrain is often out of service or the elevators/escalators are out of service instead. If your bags are interlined, that's good bc lugging bags with family via the airtrain can be very stressful. You should be ok but just be prepared for a curveball...that's sort of JFK's thing.

As stated above either direction train will suffice, considwring you are going from 4-8. 8-4 would be another story.
One train goes clockwise, the other counterclockwise. The clockwise train is only for inter-terminal transfers. It will run 4, 3, 2, 1, 8. The counterclockwise train will pick you up at 4, then work it's way to 8 in ascending order. After 8 it will go off property and after a while return to 1, 2......

As your query is not specific to one airline, but is specific to one airport, we'll move this to the appropriate Destination forum. /JY1024, TravelBuzz co-moderator

Couple of things, double check that your status on AS translates into PA for screening. Im not sure it does because AS is not OW (it may count for boarding thoungh.) Second, screening lines can be a nightmare at T8 and the PA lane dumps into regular screening. So once you deplane from DL waste no time getting to T8.

As for Priority Access, I've had it on all of my recent AA flights. I assumed it was due t MVPG with AS but it could be due to some corporate contract (I work for large corporation that seems to give me benefits at random).

Now that this thread has had some time to percolate on it's own, we'll merge it into the main thread on JFK inter-terminal connections for future reference.
