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.

Picking up outside of baggage claim
I am picking a passenger up from baggage claim for a Jet Blue flight. Is curb side pick up available at JFK outside of baggage claim?
Thank you.
Yes, but you must be quick
Yes, but you must be quick about it. There's a cell phone parking area where you can wait until your passenger calls and then you can drive to the arrivals level of the terminal for pick up.
Transfer- luggage
Hello, I am travelling through JFK. I am arriving from London Heathrow on Saturday 18th at 7.45pm and leaving for Peru at 10.45pm. Would I need to pick my luggage and re check it again or does the airlines will transfer it directly?
Also, if I have to pick it and recheck it again, where would I need to do that?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Inquire at check-in at
Inquire at check-in at Heathrow if your bags will be tagged to final destination. If yes, you will still need to claim your bags to clear customs and when you exit customs take your bags to the connecting flights counter. If no, you will need to take your bags for check-in for your next flight to Peru.
connecting flight
Hi,
I am heading to Boston from South Korea with transferring at JFK. I am using Korean air which will land 10:40AM. To make a connecting flight to Boston, how many hours will be needed in minimum (from Terminal 1 to 3). If I use Delta which shares service, will it be faster? There is one flight at 12:10PM from Delta otherwise I have to use other company.

11hours layover in JFK
Hello, I have 11h layover in JFK (I come from San Diego and I fly to Barcelona, Spain). Do you think I have enough time to get the NY city to do a short visit and come back to the airport? what is the shortest and cheapest way to do so?
Thank you very much,
David
You should have time but be
You should have time but be sure to allow at least one hour travel time to/from JFK and arrive back at JFK at least 2-3 hours before international departure. Easiest and most direct to Manhattan is taxi; $45+tolls+tip each way. Cheapest is by public transportation; AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station and either subway or LIRR to Manhattan. AirTrain/subway is $7.25 each way and LIRR a bit more but faster.
