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 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.

Delta is Terminal 2 and 3. If you arrive at another terminal you can take the Airtrain between terminals.

If I'm flying from JFK to Ecuador, how many hours in advance I'm supposed to be at the airport for the check-in? would be the same time if I check-in online?

2-2.5 hours in advance.

I am planning to go from JFK to Bangor, ME taking a bus. Is there a Greyhound Bus station at the airport, how to get to?
If there is not, how can I get to the nearest Greyhound station from which the buses take Bangor destination?
Thanks
Darya

You will need to go to Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan. From the airport you can take a taxi (about $50 plus tip), NYAS bus or public transportation by taking the Airtrain to Jamaica Station and E subway to 42nd St./Port Authority station ($7.25). Check the Greyhound website for schedules from NY to Bangor.
