Passengers transferring from Japan Airlines to non-oneworld member airlines
Boarding pass
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.
Checked baggage (Re-check)
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.
- Please exit the Customs area and proceed to the Baggage Drop Off counter on the right-hand side.
- Passengers who do not have a boarding pass for their connecting flight can go to their airline desk in the departures lobby to check in.

Japan Airlines (JL) flights arrive at John F. Kennedy Terminal 1. Please use the Air Train to move between terminal buildings.
