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 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.

Travelling with dog
HiLuisFB,
understand ur worries. Been there, done that! U will need to find a clerk to help you with the travel box. Disassemble it for the taxi. Grab a taxi with the box, luggage and ur dog to get to National. Or store ur box and return for it later.
All the best, good luck and safe travels!!

Plane change international to domestic
First time in JFK. I am arriving from Málaga at 12:45 pm and taking my flight to San Francisco at 14:37 pm. Tickets have been bought separately. - Will I have time enough to take the domestic flight? - And what are the steps I will have to take?. Fe: I don't know if I have to go through customs /inmigration twice, if the distance is long between terminals, etc. Advice about this will be most appreciated.
American Disabilities Act
I am traveling with my service dog from JFK-Moscow-Larnaca. The Aeroflot airline knows it is a service dog and will NOT confirm my dog on the flight to Moscow. Is this allowed? I am a US citizen with proper documentation for my dog. Thank you!!
Wheelchair help
My elderly mom and I are travelling from to Toronto to India on Tuesday. Our Air India flight has been changed to leave 2 hours sooner than we had scheduled. We arrive AA term 8 at 1:10 and our next flight is in term 4 at 3:10. We used Airmiles for the first leg and a group tour company has booked the second. Is there any wheelchair agency we can hire to help me get my mom to terminal 4? When we had a 4 hour layover we were not worried. NOW - oh no!! Thanks.
