ICAO code - KJFK
Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.

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.

There are always taxis
There are always taxis available at Ground Transportation, it all depends on how long the taxi waiting line is. Be sure to only take NYC yellow taxi, do not accept a "taxi" from anyone else as they will rip you off.

You can give it a shot and
You can give it a shot and ask one of them especially the ones from the airlines that operates your international flights. Air trains are free of charge as long as you stay inside the airport. If 2 flights are on Delta you should have your bags checked all the way to your final destination. If you are coming back on international and then domestic you will have to clear Customs and Immigration and then recheck your bags with second flights` carier.
