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.

help
Please help:
My Mom is flying Aeroflot from Moscow to JFK, and has connection flight on Delta. She only has 2 hours between her flights... She probably needs to get her luggage and go through customs and passport control, re-check her luggage, get to another terminal? and get boarding passes at Delta... What are the exact steps? Does she need to take a train to another terminal? Or could she just walk between terminals? Aeroflot is terminal 1? and Delta is 2 or 3?
Thank you very much!
re:help
She can just walk fro T1 to T2 - it is only 5 min walk.
I am pretty sure Aeroflot will give her(in Moscow) a boarding pass for her Delta flight.
After she lands , she will go through immigration, then she has to pick up her bags and go through customs.
After she exits the customs she can go to Aeroflot connecting flights counter where they will transfer her bags onto her next Delta flight.
Then she has to exit the building and walk to her right - Terminal 2 is easy recognizable and marked.
There she can:
-obtain a boarding pass if she does not have one;
-check-in the bags if she did not do that with Aeroflot;
And the last step is(after all this is done) to go through security and look for the gate for her Delta flight.

check in times
Hi, I was wondering how early before a flight I must check in at JFK. I just finish a trip at 3.00pm in New York and will head straight to JFK. My flight is due to leave at 6.55pm for Los Angeles before heading internationally to Australia. If i arrive at 5.00 pm at JFK, will this be enough time to clear through everything and get on the plane? I heard that if it is a domestic flight you don't need the full 2 hours.
re:check in times
Generally the time that you have should be enough but I will advise you to give yourself a little bit more time(30-45min), just to be on the safe side.

Is there like peter pan bus
Is there like peter pan bus that comes from the airport to Hartford, CT?
No, you'd have to go to Port
No, you'd have to go to Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to get a bus to Hartford, or Penn Station for a train. Bus is much cheaper and runs more often to Hartford.
