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.

I have sent a parcel with some boots and chocholates to my grand son by EXPRESS MAIL SERVICE "EMS". The Tracking number is EP884188300SA. According to the tracer, it is in Kennedy Airport from 3 Feb. 2011. Can some one help me to find out what happened to my parcel.

Is there a bank of America ATM at JFK?

Not at JFK, the closest BofA ATM is about 3 miles east of the airport in Rosedale on S. Conduit Ave. or 3 miles southeast on Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence. There is also one at the Jamaica LIRR station.

How long do I need for customs and transfer? Arriving on Emirates from Dubai and continue with Delta to Atlanta

Anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.

Up to 20 minutes.
