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.

Time to Clear Customs and Get to Newark
I have an exchange student coming in from Brazil at 0815 on 11 August. He has to get to Newark for his final flight, with a departure time of 1230. He plans on taking the Olympic Shuttle from the Ground Transportation Center. Will he be able to make the 1000 shuttle departure? If not, will the 1100 shuttle get him to Newark in time for his 1230 flight?
Thanks!
re: have an exchange student coming in from Brazil at 0815 on 11
If he is lucky he will even make the 9am shuttle. Definitely he will get 10am one. Let him not count on 11 am shuttle since it is impossible to make 1230 flight at EWR taking that shuttle.

You can book the shuttle at the Welcome Center at T7. It costs $30 and it takes roughly 1hr-1:30hrs to get to EWR.
The name of the shuttle is State Shuttle.

Baggage Storage/Transportation to Broadway/W 47th.
We are a family of two adults and two children arriving via US Airways in late July. Can you tell me what our arrival terminal will be, where we can store baggage for a family of four, and the quickest or cheapest route to Broadway/W 47th for a walking tour? Our flight lands at 11:25 and the tour starts at 2 PM. We will be traveling to PA after the tour, and needing a rental car. Are children >=5 yrs old allowed in taxis w/out booster seats? Thanks.
re:Baggage Storage/Transportation to Broadway/W 47th.
You will be landing at Terminal 7.
The closest baggage storage is at Terminal 4.
The quickest way to that place is a taxi - 40-50min, cost-flat fare of $50.50 for the whole cab.
Cheapest way is by public transportation - $7.25/person.
Take Airtrain to Jamaica Station and then subway E to 42nd street(Times Square). Walk north on Broadway till you reach the intersection with W47th street.
The travel time on public transportation can be between 1hr:15min to 1hr:30 min.
Children are allowed in yellow cabs without child seats/boosters but is not advisable.
