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.

re: will arrive in Manhattan at the following address at 7PM on
There is no shuttle that leaves out of that address to JFK. The closest one is Penn Station(34th street).
From there you can either:
- take NYAS bus to JFK(with a transfer at Grand Central); $15
or
- take LIRR train to Jamaica Station and then Airtrain to JFK; ~$12

Tranferring thru JFK
Hi
I am arriving from Dublin into JFK on this Sunday and catching an onward flight to San Francisco. Both flights are with Delta airlines. I'm an irish citizen and have never travelled to the states before.
Can someone supply some information as to the procedure I can expect, for example do i need to go thru security and check in for my next flight and then go thru security again to get airside? I assume I don't need to collect my bags as Delta should put them onto the next plane for me????
Thanks
re:Tranferring thru JFK
You will go through immigration after you land. Then you will pick up your bags in order to go through US Customs. Recheck your bags after that at Delta connecting flights counter. Clear security and look for the gate to SFO.

Customs!
My sister's flight from Sweden is landing at JFK at 3:50 pm and she have to be at Penn Station at 6:30 pm. Is that enough time to go through customs and take the Airtrain and Subway to Penn Station?
re: My sister's flight from Sweden is landing at JFK at 3:50 pm
She has plenty of time for that.

As long as her flight is on
As long as her flight is on time and she clears customs fairly quickly she should be ok. Recommend she takes LIRR from Jamaica to Penn Station, faster than subway.
