Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.
Time Zone - EST (GMT -5)
History - Construction of the airport began in 1942 with modest ambitions. Only 1,000 acres (4 km²) of land on the site of Idlewild golf course were earmarked for use. The golf course provided the airport's original namesake, Idlewild Airport. First commercial flights began on July 1, 1948. The airport was formally dedicated as New York International Airport on July 31, 1948. It was re-dedicated on December 24, 1963 as John F. Kennedy International Airport, following action of the Mayor and Council of the City of New York, and a resolution of the Commissioners of the Port Authority. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, JFK was one of the first airports in the United States to be temporarily closed.

You should have time. Go
You should have time. Go upstairs to Airtrain and take it from T4 to T7, only take a few minutes.
terminal 7
Is anything open in terminal 7 after midnight? We are flying to New York and meeting someone who is flying from London. We both arrive at terminal 7 but 2 hours apart. Is there a coffee shop open for them to wait until our flight arrives - United Airlines from L.A. arriving at 12.55am 15 June.
re:Is anything open in terminal 7 after midnight?
All the shops at T7 close at 10pm.

Check-In
Hi,
I have a return flight from JFK to London Heathrow airport. I am flying with Delta airlines and was just wondering what the maximum time before my flight i can check in? Also after i have checked in my luggage am i allowed to leave the airport? I am staying in Michigan but will only be returning to New York on the day of my flight; therefore i was hoping to arrive early and check-in my bags so i could have a couple hours to explore the city.
Thanks for the help
re:Check-In
With Delta you can check-in as early as 24 hours in advance.
After you check-in your luggage and obtain boarding pass you can leave the airport. Just make sure you are back at least 1 hour before departure.

Changing flights Delta -> AA
Hello,
I will be arriving at St. Louis -> JFK at 12:55pm with Delta and I have an AA flight to Costa Rica at 3:10pm. Will 2h be sufficient to make the transfer?
Also, what the process will be:
- collect my luggage
- do not leave transfer zone
- go to AA desk and check-in
- go to the gate
Thanks!

re:will be arriving at St. Louis -> JFK at 12:55pm with Delta
Hello Deyan,
The time is enough for you. Check with Delta in St.Louis if they checked your bags straight through Costa Rica - this way you don't have to pick them up at JFK.
Then the process will be :
- arriving at Delta terminal(T3 or T2)
- take Airtrain to T8
- go through security
- look for the gate for the flight to Costa Rica.

London - JFK - Charlotte
I have a question. I am flying back from London on July 22 (Virgin -VS009) arriving in JFK at 20:10 (8:10). I would like to book Jet Blue to Charlotte at 9:45. Is there enough time?
Thank you for any help you can give.
re:London - JFK - Charlotte
It is tight. Check with Jet Blue what time they will close the check-in for their flight to Charlotte. Bear in mind that you will have at least 40-45 min in customs/immigration at T4 and then another 10-15 min to move from T4 to T5. By that time Jet Blue may close the check-in(and may be stop issuing the boarding pass in case you don't check-in bags)

if someone is coming in on a
if someone is coming in on a delta international flight and connecting on a delta domestic flight from the same terminal....what is the procedure? They will go through customs, do they have to reenter security, or will they go straight to their gate?
re:if someone is coming in on a
Here is the procedure(it is for every airline, not only for Delta):
1. clearing immigration
2. pick up the bags
3. clearing US customs
4. Recheck the bags
5. Clearing security and going to the gates.
