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.

transfer time

I am arriving on 22 May at JFK at 22.40 on flight AA178 from san Fransisco and transferring to AA116 which leaves for Heathrow at 23.25 . Can you advise me on how to do this and is it feasible in such a short time?
re: transfer time
The connection would be in the same terminal - just look for the gate number(for the flight to Heathrow) after you disembark the plane. You have time to do that.

It is OK to go on the bus or train with 3 pieces of luggage. The taxi will be on the meter(yellow cab) and expect to pay somewhere around $200.
