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'm an American citizen flying in to the US from Turkey to JFK. I have a connecting flight to Raleigh. How much time do I need to leave to get through customs and still make a connecting domestic flight? Is 2 hours enough? I'll be flying at Christmas-time and it's usually a little more crowded then.

It took me 3 hours to get my luggage and it wasn't Christmas time. Keep it on mind.

There is a rude flight attendant by the name natasha Williams # 251085. Something needs to be done. She was very rude to my 65 year old grandmother last week on her flight from flordia. Please someone needs ti make sure that this doesn't happen agaion.

It's video game crap but I didn't know if there are restrictions, please someone inform me if they know the answer to this. Thanks L

Hello,
What is the best way (car rental, bus, train, taxi) to get from JFK to Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall? We're going to be staying at a hotel near the mall for 2 days and then heading back into Manhatten for 3 days.
We're travelling with our 3 year old so lots of stairs is inconvenient.
Thanks!

I will be reaching JFK at 9:13 PM and i have a connecting Internation flight at terminal 4 at 11:00 PM. Do you know if 1 hour 45 minutes is enough to reach Terminal 4 from Terminal 3?

I will arrive from TLV at 05:40, I'd like to continue to SJO (COSTA RICA) through Miami on a flight of AA Flight 1165 / 937 depart at 07:30, that means that i have only 1:50 hours. Will it be enough to pass immigration, collect my luggages etc.

What train are we going to take from JFK to 123 East 15th Street, New York?

Where is Global Refund service at JFK airport?
