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.

Lay over time
Hello,
My girlfriend and i are flying from Manchester (UK) to San Jose (Costa Rica)on July the 20th. We fly from Manchester to JFK-airport (with American Airlines) and then from JFK Airport to San Jose (Costa Rica)(also American Airlines)
We have a lay over time of 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Is this enough?
Will our luggage be automatically transfered to the next plane in JFK airport?
Thx for your reaction
re:Lay over time
The time is very,very tight.Double check again with AA if you will make it. At JFK will have up to 30-40 min in customs/immigration, then another 10-15 min to recheck your bags and another 10-15 min to clear security.Will AA have the SJO flight still open by that time?
Even you bags most likely will be checked through , you have to pick them up at JFK in order to go through US customs.

Worried My Mom Will Get LOST
My mom is departing from JFK on 7/21/10 at 5:45pm to go to Skopje, Macedonia but she has 2 connecting flights... 1st in Munich, Germany & 2nd in Budapest, Hungary then she lands in Skopje, Macedonia. She speaks very little english & can't read or write in Albanian or English. It's the first time she is traveling alone, is there a service in which someone could direct her so she does not get lost? I'm not sure of the airline yet, waiting for the email. Also she has a Macedonian Passport, will she have a problem in Germany or Hungary? Thank you!
re:Worried My Mom Will Get LOST
There is no such a service at JFK. What bothers me in her case is that she has two stopovers in Europe. I think she must have a EU visa when she makes two stops in countries of EU. Double check with the airline.

forgotten US passport...
I am a US and Turkish passport holder and just travelled to Turkey for holiday. I made a HUGE ERROR and realized I do not have my US passport with me to return to the USA. I am wondering what I should do.
Will I be able to enter the US with my turkish passport and a copy of my American passport? Should I declare it lost and go to the Turkish consulate to apply for a new one here?
HELPPPP!
thank you.

My husband and I just booked
My husband and I just booked a flight to Dublin for two weeks from now. I just realized that my passport has not been changed to my married name. My husband is having the tickets changed so that mine has my maiden name and will thus match my passport. Will this work? Or will it be a problem that other forms of identification, like my driver's license and SSN, are in my married name?
re:My husband and I just booked a flight to Dublin for two weeks
No, not at all. All you need is the name on the passport to match the only one form of ID which in your case will be the passport.
