I am trying to book airfare from JFK. My fiance's POE will 3hrs be enough time for him to make it through immigration and to the next terminal?

It all depends on if he is leaving his next flight from JFK or another airport in New York. I would give it at least 5 hours.

My fiance arrived friday, POE was JFK. His flight with Alitalia arrived 1 and half hour late. If his plane would have been on time, he had 6 hour and 45min, to catch his flight with jetblue, to Tampa. But since it was late he had 5 hours til his flight was going to leave. He said it took about an hour to get through customs. Then he had to find his luggage, and then find jetblue counter and check in his luggage. After doing everything he was supposed to, he called me to let me know everything was ok. His call to me came 3 hours after landing. He told me he was very stressed out, the main reason was he didn't know where to go, he said he was stranded. Not knowing to use the airtrain. He said he asked a couple people and one lady gave him a pamplet and told him to read it (it was all about how to use the airtrain). He said everyone was so much in a rush and were not helpful. Jetblue charged him 20 dollars for luggage being over weight. Though when he was leaving Ghana the weight of the luggage was fine. I thought all the airlines were 50 lbs. Who knows, thank God he had a little bit of money on him. Also, for the post a couple weeks ago, wanting to know about having a little traveling money, it's probably not a bad idea.

Oh yea to answer your post question about if 3 hours is enough time. I think not, because you never know what kind of delays you could run into. But if 3 hours is all you can get, just try it and see. I'm glad my fiance had extra time.

KNL and everyone else thanks for the info. I think I will give him more time. So the shuttle is called the airtran. Thanks for letting me know. If your fiance flew NA, they allow 70lbs so that may be why it was okay. My fiance is also flying JetBlue to Orlando. I'll send him a little extra money on top of what I already sent sut in case the suitcases are over 50lbs.
