New York Airport Customs and Luggage: Calculate Extra Time
When transferring between airports in New York, you should also take into account the time spent at customs after landing. If you fly from outside the United States to one of the airports, you will need to pass through customs. This can sometimes take a long time, so take about an hour and a half to two hours into account. As a result, this fortunately means spending less time waiting for your luggage.
If you are travelling within the United States on a domestic flight to New York, you don’t need to pass through customs, but you do need to pick up your luggage. Take about an hour into account for this.
