• Miscellaneous

• Japan Airlines (JL) passengers connecting onto oneworld member airline flights should receive a boarding pass for the oneworld member airline flight upon departure from Japan.
• If you do not have your connecting boarding pass, please proceed to the departure terminal for your connecting flight and carry out the check-in procedure at the connecting airline's transfer counter.

• *Passengers connecting between JAL ⇔ oneworld flights (including oneworld and JAL codeshare flights), will be issued a boarding pass for their connecting flight on departure. However, system issues can sometimes mean that the connecting boarding pass cannot be issued. In this event, you will need to carry out check-in procedures again at the connecting airport.

Regardless of whether your final destination is within the US or abroad, all passengers must go through a customs inspection when entering the United States.

Even if "final destination" is stamped on the baggage tag you were given when you checked your baggage at your departure point, you are still required to collect your baggage here and proceed through Customs.

The baggage collected for the customs inspection can be deposited again at Baggage Drop Off.

• After completing the customs inspection, please exit the Customs area and proceed to the Baggage Drop Off counter on the right-hand side.
• Please show your airline ticket or boarding pass and re-check your baggage.

Japan Airlines (JL) flights arrive at John F. Kennedy Terminal 1.

To reach Terminal 8, where American Airlines is based, please go up to level 3 and take the Air Train. The time required is around 15 minutes after clearing Customs.

At John F. Kennedy International Airport, you will find the following lounges.

  (If you are unable to present the card, you will not be admitted to the lounge.)
