Love the walk from airport to downtown NY! such a pleasure way to see the world! Thanks for this wonderful experience! big thumb up and fans from Taiwan!
@ pacey cabalang, if your connecting flight is going to another state in the U.S., you have to go through immigration at a port-of-entry (the first airport you land at in the US).
It depends really on whether your flight arrives at the same time with many other international flights. In the UK, the early morning arrivals mean a congested passport control because of wide bodies coming from East Asia. That said, for flying from the Europe to the US, Aer Lingus is the way to go because it goes via DUB and you avoid the massive queue upon arrival in the US. You clear CBP at DUB and arrive as a domestic passenger.
@@kishankantelia9423, not too many flights to the US per se but by cordoning off a section for US flights, you will be reducing capacity for flights to everywhere, i.e. how could you utilise those gates during non-peak flight times to the US?
Thank you for watching, you do not need to worry, just expect to spend around 2 hours waiting then you do not need to be disappointed. Enjoy thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for your video ! I’ll go soon to NY alone and I’m a bit frightened by this airport… I just have one question : how do you know the place where your suitcases are ?
Thanks for watching. Don't be scared, everything will be alright as long as you have all the proper documents with you. Regarding your question, after immigration, at the baggage reclaim area, there are plenty of TV Monitor where flight number and airport origin is written with corresponding carousel or bagge belt number. Example is @ 4:10, there is a number 4 for the baggage carousel and on its right, there is a TV Monitor. Some Airlines also, announce after landing the number of baggage velt/carousel. I hope I was able to help you. Keep safe and enjoy your flight.
We arrrived here two weeks ago, and while I sailed thru US immigration, my Thai wife got stuck on the non U.S. side for 2.5 hours after almost being awake for 30 hours door to door. There was ONE agent processing 000s of passengers! I complained bitterly to a supervisor, who said there is no funding and all the agents are on the borders instead. Disgraceful. Not the way immigrants should see our country at all.
Every country has their own problem when it comes to immigration and custom. I have high respect to those airport employees who are still doing their best, work honestly and dedicated to their profession despite of having these internal challenges.
@@anwartravler Dear Anwar, expect some rains in October so don't forget an umbrella/rain coat/wind breaker. For me, October is already cool at noon time and colder at night. Sweater or jacket is a must to bring and comfy shoes.
We will get your luggage right after the immigration @3:49 or passport control. @4:18 you will find a small screen/monitor that show the flight number and the corresponding belt/luggage carousel number e. g. 4 so you will not miss your bag.
Because of the long wait times to clear immigration, the bags are left standing openly in the luggage area, which is open to the public. Easy to walk off with a nice looking piece of first class luggage.
A lot of new airports around the world are becoming huge and require long distance walking to navigate it. Travelling nowadays has become more challenging though there are options like using the courtesy shuttle or carts or walkalator/moving walkway or passenger can simply request a wheelchair in advance if walking long distance is a problem.
You have to take the air train to Terminal C. The train will take you to the rental facility. Just follow the sign and you won't get lost. Take care and be careful with your belongings.
if your connecting flight is the same airline, the airline will give you a boarding pass till your last destination and collect your luggage at your final destination. The airline will also advise you upon check in.
@@markraymond3577 oooppps not yet, there is still one more hurdle after the baggage claim. There is a randomly custom check but normally, very unlikely to happen not unless there is something suspicious in the luggage.
I have a question. When someone is departing from USA does workers check your passport with your boarding pass before boarding area (gates)? Why I am asking because in Canada for example workers don't care about your identification before boarding area (area for passengers only) they check only your boarding pass which is absolutely not right. They check your photo id with boarding pass only before boarding the airplane when you departing from Canada. I am just wondering whether in USA the same rules like in Canada or they check your documents twice? (Before boarding airplane it's mandatory rule worldwide I think to identify you) but I am wondering whether they check your identity in usa airports before allowing you to proceed to boarding area (gates) ?
Thank you for your question, in my video titles Departure Walk 4k Dulles International Airport @2:28 that is the first time they checked my passport, basically airport workers just check your boarding pass and passport. The second time they check the passport and boarding pass is before boarding. This scenario applies if you are travelling on an International flight. So they check the passport and boarding pass twice. Hope I was able to answer your question.
@@Bachling1 thank you for answering. It was interesting to know that. I've got it.)) My point is that it's minimum what they must do. In some countries there is also passport control on departures where worker put the stamp "departure" in case you are "clean". Perhaps in Canada they trust you too much. From one side-it's good, but from another-excessive trust is also a bad thing in my opinion.
@@gregorchitchian9131 Canada, USA and UK, they do not stamp the passport on departure as per my experience. If someone overstays or breaks the law then he/she will face the consequemces later.
@@Bachling1 sorry for late reply. Yes I understood it. If you ask my opinion though passport control on departures should be mandatory in all countries around the world. It's for your own good. In case you need you will easy prove when you entered/exited country. Without such stamps it will be much harder to prove, but that's another topic. My point is that when there is no passport control on departures-it's already enough trust. It cannot and should not be more than that. Should be at least like in the USA airports. Surprisingly in Canada they don't even care who proceeding to the boarding area. They checking your passport in Canada only before boarding airplane. But what if it's not the boarding pass of an actual passenger? Than this person will end up in the trouble in the boarding area: He/she will not be able neither to board airplane (because his/her identity will not match in the passport) neither exit that area easily. It will also be "headache" for airport workers to identify someone who should not enter boarding area at the first place. Let's assume it's a passenger's boarding pass but what if he forgot his passport somewhere in the airport? In this case he will also be in trouble in the boarding area. My point is: Where is too much trust-it's also bad. Everything must have it's limits and common sense. This is it. Take care. Bye)
Yes that is correct, no one was allowed to use it during my arrival. I remember before the pandemic we were using those here at JFK . I also used it at LAX (Tom Bradley International Airport) and at IAD (Washington Dulles Airport). Probably they stopped it during the height of the pandemic but I am not sure nowadays if they are allowing passengers to use it.
First is immigration, then baggage claim then custom if you have something to declare, if nothing to declare then you just exit with your luggage unless you are being called or stopped by a custom officer.
Hi, is there any possibility to Speed the process? I am scared of crowded spaces and am wondering if I should cancel my trip from Frankfurt to New York in June! So scared seeing the massive queue
@stellacometa6602 queues are unavoidable especially if you're traveling during peak season of which June is peak summer. The only advice I'd give is perhaps select seats closest to the exits so that you're at least slightly ahead of everyone
Thank you Casenda for watching, they asked me "What is the purpose of your visit, how many days will you stay, where are you staying?". You should be ready to answer these questions and if they ask for your return ticket, be ready with the ticket print out or hotel accommodation vouvher or booking.
