When i did LCY-SNN-JFK we got off at SNN using an air bridge. Passengers with checked luggage were asked to wait in a lounge area and passengers with hand baggage only went through then we followed. You clear immigration and then they ask you if the picture of your bag is yours and then you go airside at SNN where there are toilets, a duty free shop and seats. We were then pretty much called for boarding right away.
Once at JFK, we just walked off the plane and out to baggage reclaim. No customs or immigration. Very easy.
