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.

About telephone facilities
Hi, My parents are arriving to JFK from India on the 17th May. As they may not be carrying quarter coins(but they do have dollars), i would like to know about any courtesy phone facilities from where they can call my mobile.
As this is their first visit here, this info. will be very useful.Thanks!!
re: My parents are arriving to JFK from India on the 17th May
There is no courtesy phones for that purpose. They can either break the bills into coins or buy a phone card($5 is the cheapest one). Or ask somebody to call for them(nowadays everybody has free minutes:)

Can I leave the airport?
Hi,
I am arriving into JFK from London at 10:45pm, and will be taking my connecting flight to Miami early the next morning. Can I clear security and leave the airport, whilst technically in transit (as completed on the ESTA and visa waiver)? What will happen to my luggage - do I need to claim this and then check it back in again when I return a few hours later?
Thanks!
