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.

Bad practices in the duty free shop
When flying from JFK airport terminal 3, on the 3rd of July 2011 on flight DL184, I thought I should buy some stuff at the duty free shop as I wouldn't have time to do that when I transferred in Paris (Charles de Gaulle airport). However, due to improper sealing of the bag (the store just stapled it together with the receipt), the alcohol was confiscated in Paris. The trouble with the customs there made me also miss my connecting flight.
I could understand that this bad practice of just stapling the bags closed being done in a 3rd world regional airport or on a ferry, but not at one of the busiest airports in the world. That combined with foul-tasting pizza at the pizzeria on the airport and a bookstore with a severly limited selection, left me with a bad impression of JFK airport.
I had seriously expected much, much more from JFK Airport.

Hello,
we will travel from Czech Republic (European Union) to Oregon through JFK Airport with Delta Airlines (both of flights). I would like to ask you if it is difficult to change the plane? Should we transfer our luggage from one plane to another? Or it is done by airport service?
Which terminals belong to Delta?
Thank you very much!
