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.

She can take Airtrain into Terminal 4.

is the air train near the baggage claim
does she have to go onto the street or is it internal

she lands jet blu ??term 5

Where she is going to get the train from? Which terminal?
JFK_E

she lands jet blu i think term 5
she needs to get to term 4 after she gets her baggage

If it is Terminal 5 then the Airtrain station is located on the third floor. All your daughter has to do after she picks up her bags is to take elevator/escalator to the third floor, follow the signs to the station, take Airtrain on track 2 for one stop to Terminal 4.

Is there any where we can get our 2 small children ready for a overnight flight in the airport? Shower and changed for bed.
Many thanks

There is lounge at Terminal 4, 4th floor called "Oasis".
See the map for reference: http://www.jfkiat.com/loungemap.html

The question is in the title: is there a possibility to have a shower at JFK airport terminal 1 (or possibly other terminal) ?
Thanks

Not at Terminal 1. There is lounge at Terminal 4 , called Oasis where you can take shower for around $30.
