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.

Strollers to rent/loan at the airport?
Are there strollers for a 1 year-old baby at the airport that I can rent or loan?
Cell Phone Chargers
I believe that there are over 50 cell phone charging kiosks at JFK Airport (these are stand alone units with multiple cell phone charging jacks that passengers and others can use in order to charge their phones, if required). Can you confirm this and do you have a picture that you could possibly send to me. I am interested in these units for airports in my country.
Thanks

Hi,
I will be arriving at JFK on United airlines at 12:55 am, and departing on Virgin Atlantic at 7:00 am. I know I need to change terminals, but is there someplace that I can sit in the airport between these flights? I need to check in with Virgin Atlantic at about 5 am, and would prefer not to have to get a hotel room for 4 hours.
Thank you.
