Newark Liberty International Airport | Laguardia International Airport | JFK International Airport
About:
JFK Airport is New York City's largest and busiest International
Airport. JFK Airport is current undergoing construction. As a result, many
of the parking areas and passenger terminals have been closed or have
limited access. Please call your airline to find out if your terminal is
operating at normal efficiency.
At JFK, many airlines are house in multiple terminals. American departs
and arrives from terminals 8 and 9. Delta departs and arrives from
terminals 2 and 3. Many airlines at JFK utilize co-shares, which enables
smaller airlines to transport the larger airline travelers during peak
season. For example, although you may have a Delta ticket, Aeromexico may
be the actual airline to transport you. Aeromexico arrives in terminal
one. On arrival day, you may be switched to a co-share airline that
arrives in a different terminal. Here are some tips to make your travel in
and out of JFK easier.
Departures:
Always give your Chauffeur your
departing flight number. When arriving at the departure terminal, request
that your Chauffeur confirm with a Skycap that your flight is actually
departing from that terminal. Please do not dismiss your Chauffeur until
you have confirmed with a Skycap that your flight is leaving from the
terminal you are at.
Arrivals:
JFK is probably the most difficult
airport to greet arriving travelers. Numerous terminals, switching of
gates and terminals, utilizing other terminals and parking lot closures
are some of the daily obstacles at JFK. The best thing an arriving
passenger can do at JFK is to ask the flight attendant upon departing the
plane what terminal you are in. Then, call us at 800.962.2827 and press 4
for dispatch to advise us of your terminal location. This will help in
case the airline switched terminals upon arrival and the message center
has not been updated yet. American, Delta and many international flights
generally switch terminals, which can cause problems when dispatchers have
the Chauffeur in one terminal and you arrive in another.
Please note that arrival procedures at JFK differ from terminal to
terminal.
American airlines parking lots are under construction and are schedule
to re-open in May of 2008.
On all Domestic arrivals, passengers will be met at the baggage claim
area with a Chauffeur that has a sign with the passenger's name on it.
International arrivals will be met outside of the customs area. Call
800.962.2827 and press 4 for dispatch. Dispatch will advise you where your
Chauffeur will greet you.
Do Not Park Service:
Because of the extensive
traffic at JFK, we have a designated area where we station our vehicles.
Upon arrival, please ask your flight attendant what terminal you arrived
at. Once you retrieve your luggage, please call 800.962.2827 and press 4
for the dispatch. We will direct you to the appropriate waiting area.
Please note the vehicles can not park in front of the terminal and can
only pick up in designated areas.
Current Luggage Rules:

our airports since 9/11, carry on luggage rules can change at any time.
