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.

immigration
Hi-
My newly adopted daughter and I will be flying in to JFK; she has a european passport with a visa to enter the US. I am a US citizen and have a US passport.
Please tell me which line we have to get on to clear immigration. Since she is very young, I am hoping that we can queue up at the US line.
Thanks!
re: My newly adopted daughter and I will be flying in to JFK;
Since she is with you, using the line for US citizens would not be a problem at all.

I am flying Delta Airlines
I am flying Delta Airlines on Sat 9 Oct 10 from London to JFK on DAL4 arriving JFK at 1310
I am then due to fly on DAL2563 to LAX at 1500
Does this give me enough time to get though customs and immigration. Is JFK going to be busier at a weekend compaired to a weekday
Can I ask a delta rep to try and speed up my process
re: flying Delta Airlines on Sat 9 Oct 10 from London to JFK on
JFK is usually busier on the weekends, but you should not have any problems transferring unless LHR flight is late.
If you land at T3, you can ask Delta rep to help you, even I doubt they will be able to do much .
