John F. Kennedy International Airport is an international airport located in Jamaica, Queens, southeast of New York City.
IATA code - JFK
ICAO code - KJFK
Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.
Time Zone - EST (GMT -5)
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:How can I get information on incoming passengers?
It is very hard to get info on any flying passenger for security concerns. Try to call the airline and see if they will give you any information for them.

Thanks
Thanks much for your reply. They spent 2 hours and 47 minutes in the immigration line as there were many tourists entering the country.
Connection time
I'm flying in from SLC on Delta flight #3 - arrives at 5:30 pm -- the connecting flight to LHR (Delta flight #4) leaves at 6:29 pm -- is that enough time to make that connection? If you fly the same airline, do you change terminals?
re:I'm flying in from SLC on Delta flight #3
You have enough time. You don't change terminals in this case - both flights are at Terminal 3.

tax refund
Hi, I´m a foreigner visiting NY, I´m leaving on saturday and while I was shoping for elctronics, i was told at a store, that when you eave New York at JFK, tere´s an office at the airport where they refund your taxes, on items bought here. Is that true? Where is the office located? Thank you
re:tax refund
A lot of passengers are asking us that question and a lot of them have a similar story - the sales person told them that they can claim their tax back at JFK. I guess this is a salesman's trick to make you buy the merchandise.
The sales tax is not refundable when you leave USA.

What is the best way to access Alitalia departure terminal?
We are driving from Central New York to bring my mom to JFK for a flight to Italy on Thursday; we know how to get to JFK, but it's been a long time since we were last there. We need to get her to the Alitalia terminal, and she has a handicapped placard. Where is the best place to park so she won't have to walk too far (with luggage)? Thanks.
re:What is the best way to access Alitalia departure terminal?
Park at Green parking lot, 1st floor ,close to Terminal 1.
The Green parking lot is big(it is for T1,T2,T3) but you can ask somebody which side is close to T1.
There are handicapped spots there.

Hi, I'm new to NY and I am
Hi,
I'm new to NY and I am flying into JFK but will need to get to Pavonia-Newport. What is the best way to do this?
re: need to get to Pavonia-Newport
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going to different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then either:
-take subway line E to Penn Station or
-take LIRR to Penn Station(faster but more expensive)
Walk to PATH station and there take PATH train towards Journal Square. Get off at Pavonia/Newport stop.

I am arriving at JFK in June and would like to get the train from the airport to Grand Central Station. Do you know what train I need to get?
re: train from the airport to Grand Central Station
Take Airtrain from any terminal on track 1 to Jamaica Station( be careful - on that track there are two alternating trains going two different routes; check the sign above the doors as the train arrives; the red colored sign is Jamaica one). Then take subway line E to Lexington Ave stop and transfer to subway line 6 going downtown. Get off next stop-Grand Central.(total fare - $7.25)
