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.

Before your departure at JFK
Before your departure at JFK ask whether your bags are clipped to your final destination or not. You may if you wish bring additional luggage but your airlines may charge you an extra fee for that. Inquire with your airlines about any fees.

My parents are flying to the US from Budapest next week. they will have layover of 3h and 30 min in jfk and then a connecting flight to LAX, flying AA all the way. Their flight gets in at terminal 8 and the connecting flight also leaves from there. This is their first time traveling to the US and they do not speak any english. I have requested a wheelchair for my mother and i am very nervous about a lot of things. Will the wheelchair assistant walk them through the whole process, or he/she will just push the chair and my parents will have to figure things out on their own? I know they will have to go through immigration, baggage claim, baggage check in, customs etc.can someone please "draw" me a scenario of how things work in situations like these?! please. i translated for them the forms they will have to fill out in the plane, also wrote a letter they can hand to the immigration officer....what else should i do? i have called AA 3 times already but i was kind of rushed of the phone and it seemed that they didn't know all that much.thank you
Hi: My friend this is a
Hi: My friend this is a hard one. Language assistance has always sucked at the airports.
The wheelchair assistants are no help, they just take you from point A to B.
I would assume that someone on the AA crew should speak Hungarian, maybe your parents can ask him/her for help at the airport.
Maybe there is someone on the flight who is bilingual who can also help. I have seen that happen many times, as a matter of fact I have helped people in the past. Probably someone is also going to LAX, maybe they can keep company each other, it's a long trip.
If those oprions fail, I would translate for them key words/phrases like, bathroom, telephone, help, food, luggage, immigration, passport, currency, please, thank you, ... Phrases like "I don't speak English, I speak Hungarian, Where is the bathroom?, I am hungry/thirsty? etc, so they can keep the list handy. I used to do that when I went to Germany, I was able to get by with no problems.
Best case sceneario would be a prepaid cell phone, so you guys can talk to you during the layover process, but I'm afraid it's too late for that.
Hope this helps. Regards. :P

My family is flying into JFK
My family is flying into JFK from London on AA on Friday June 17, and they continue to Cleveland on AA as well. Will they have to change terminals, and what should they do with their luggage to ensure it is not lost? It would always get lost when I traveled internationally through JFK... Quick response would be greatly appreciated.
What time does customs open ?
