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.

Should I try to leave earlier or later?

Thanks!

Hurricane Irene will be in full force in NY area on Sunday. Suggest you delay due to probabililty of complications due to the proposed shut down of the public transportation system in NYC.

Husband is due to arrive Sunday Aug 28 4 pm from Morocco-along with hurricane irene. Please tell me flights will be cancelled delayed prior to departure from other locations to prevent problems when landing in NY. Better to be safe! thank you

My fligth is to Istanbul friday 26 at 11:00pm- shall I expect delays or cancelation- thank you very much

I'm arriving from IND to Laguardia, but leaving out of JFK.
Is my "shuttle" part of my ticket? Where do I catch this suttle?

At Ground Transportation at LGA look for the NYAirports shuttle bus to JFK.

My husband will be coming in to JFK on a Delta International flight.To catch his next flight to Atlanta, what does he do? Will he have time to go through customs and make connection (1 h 55 min.)?

He will need to clear Customs and Immigration then recheck his bags and get boarding passes for his second flight and clear security. Almost 2 hour time window is an OK time frame as long as your husbands first flight arrives on time.
