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.

Thank you for any help you can give.

if someone is coming in on a delta international flight and connecting on a delta domestic flight from the same terminal....what is the procedure? They will go through customs, do they have to reenter security, or will they go straight to their gate?
Hi, we're flying from
Hi, we're flying from manchester uk on mon 21st June to JFK, then 2 hours later we're flying from JFK to Las Vegas. We dont know what terminal we are flying into or flying from. I can see someone else on here is doing the same trip as us and they are flying in and out of terminal 3. Will it also be terminal 3 we will be flying in and out of or does it change? Also, do we need to collect our bags in JFK & re-check them or will they be checked through to Las Vegas?
Transfer at JFK
Hi! I am arriving to JFK with a flight EI109 from Dublin at 7.40 pm. I have to transafer to take a flight to RDU with JetBlue Airways at 9:55 pm. I am not a US citizen and do not have a Green Card, thus I will have to pass through the immigration clearance, pick up my luggage and check it in again. Could you please advise if such connection would be challenging to make?
Thank you in advance!
We are flying into JFK from
We are flying into JFK from the Netherlands with pets (1 dog and 2 cats). We left the US with these pets 7 weeks ago with all their vaccinations up to date. I have found info online from the CDC but they also say to check state regulations. Where can I find the specific state regulations that apply for JFK? Is there any airport information on the process of entering the US with these pets?
Sorry...
I'm sorry that I went on about leaving JFK.
When we returned from our trip, no one asked anything. No one looked twice at anything we tried to show.
No problems.

Traveling with Pets
My husband and I went overseas with our cat a few years back.
First, check with your airline for ticketing and procedures. Each airline is different, and some make you pay a pretty good fee. If you don't do this in advance, it might be a surprise.
Most countries require chips. EU has a different chip, so we rented a reader for the various countries to show that they were, indeed, chipped.
Does the country that you are traveling to require any sort of special immunizations? Most of the EU is the same, the passport we got for her was adequate. I know Great Britain has different immunization requirements.
We found a little travel passport for her online that her vet had to complete. Then, we had to go to someplace out by JFK (not at JFK, it was some sort of animal clearinghouse) and they put their stamp on the passport.
They cannot be in their cages/housing units when going through x-ray. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time, as my kitty ran away in Heidelberg. It was humorous, of course, to us. All the officers were trying to catch the kitty, but I'm sure it was upsetting to other travelers. The cat was fine, of course.
Also, be sure to make sure that your hotel accepts pets.
A good website to start would be:
www.pettravelstore.com
Our kitty is very well-traveled! She has been all over Europe and the US. One of the funniest stories was waking up in the middle of the night in Venice and seeing her crawling up the fabric-covered walls! No damage was done. People enjoy seeing the animals when you are traveling and I believe it actually adds to a pet's overall well-being.
Good luck to you!

Flying into JFK with service dog
We are flying into JFK from Ireland with our son and his autism assistance dog on 7/7/10 - should we just be able to clear customs in the normal way or are there additional checks with the dog? We need to catch a flight from LGA to SAV two hours after landing in JFK so we are anxious not to get delayed.
