Topic: Connection flights at JFK
1. Author:  Big T Par

Wondering if Any of you guys have travelled through JFK and got a connecting flight from terminal 4? I`ve booked flights to Nashville and was assuming that the cases would go straight through to the final destination, but apparently, you have to collect your luggage and go through security again. Got a couple of hours from landing to the onward journey, just wondering if anyone had any experience of what it`s like.

Cheers guys

I did it once AGES ago - maybe 1997 - Sept 11.

And even then yeah, bags needed to be collected and rescanned. It was annoying.

All depends on day of week and time of day - the TSA and immigration folks wont care about your connection and will be in no hurry - 2 hours should be enough - you need to get your bags to clear customs and then make sure you drop them in the CORRECT area of drop off - they`ll kindly advise you if you dont :-)

Ive done it regular over the years and never missed a 2 hour connection once - cut it fine a couple of times but always seemed to work out.

You`ll love Nasville its such a cool place - we drive there realtively often for a weekend

Thanks for the info mate. Very much appreciated. We get in at 5pm, on a Tuesday

BTW, if you are there the weekend that Metallica are playing, let's go for a beer ☺️

Tues-Thurs are the `quieter days` - you should be good most of the business travellers would be getting the 7-8pm flights if they`re heading home

I learned the more I worry and stressed I get in the airport its a vicious cycle - 2 hours will for sure be enough

I’d be like a pig in muck in Nashville - visiting the Hall of Fame and reading about my Country idols Haggard and Jones etc.

Enjoy the experience.

If you have been to the US before and used the visa waiver program then you can use the MPC app to clear immigration quicker.

Yeah - Big T, made the connection in plenty of time. It was just a ballache. I`m sure you`ll be fine (assuming no delays in bound)

"Not a country fan, in the slightest, but will visit the HOF for sure mate"

An acquired taste in my case.

The names given to popular genres are just music industry pigeon holes for separating different styles.

Many top name artists in other fields are comfortable in Country Music circles.

Keith Richards for example makes no apologies.
