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.

Thank You Very Much.

I have a flight to Cairo on Egypt Air on Dec. 3 at 6:30 p.m. I need to book a connecting flight to JFK. What time should I plan to arrive at JFK in order to collect my luggage, go through security and get to my gate for my 6:30 departure?
thank you

No later than 4:00pm-4:30pm.

I'd plan to arrive at JFK no less than two hours prior to your Egyptair departure, more time between flights is always better.

I am arriving at Us air term 7 at 3:00, I have to collect my bags and get to egypt ait for a 6:00 departure on a Thurs. How do I get there and approx how long would it take.

Follow signs to AirTrain and take any train on track 2 to Egyptair at terminal 4. Only takes a few minutes.

My daughter would be reaching JFK airport by Delta connection flight DL6053T on 22nd October from CLE at T-3 at 1353 Hrs.

She has to avail Air India Flight AI-102 from T-4 to Kolkata(CCU)at 1705 Hrs.

Please advise her transit plan from T3 to T-4 at JFK.

She will follow signs to AirTrain and take any train on track 1 one stop to T4, takes less than a minute.

Hi, I arrive Oct.29,noon (12:30)/AA/terminal 8.
My 2nd flight departs(about 9h later)9:35pm,same day /AA/ terminal 8 --> Brazil.
Do you presume that I can visit NYC in between for 3-4h?

It is possible if your first flight arrives on time, but reminder you need to be back at JFK by 7pm for your departure and it will take about one hour travel time to/from Manhattan.

We need to spend 12 hours of waiting for transit in JFK (from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Denver, CO).
It is possible to go out and than return latter for the flight to Denver?
Thank you!

You should have time, but remember to return to JFK two hours before Denver departure.

I have to meet up with my daughter arriving at terminal 4 and I will be arriving at terminal 2 at about the same time What is the best way for us to meet up. many thanks
