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.

Arriving Terminal 4 - need to re-check bags w/ JetBlue
Help ASAP! I am managing a group of 20 students flying in from Nigeria on Arik Airlines. The flight arrives Terminal 4. I understand they will clear customs/immigration in Terminal 4. JetBlue tells me they must take their bags to Terminal 5 to check bags for their final flight to Orlando on JetBlue. This doesn't make sense to me. Please confirm; I think they can check bags in Terminal 4 then proceed without baggage to Terminal 5. Can they check the bags in Terminal 4 and get their boarding passes as well, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARRIVED ON.
Thanks!! This flight is Monday so please respond ASAP.
dog
I am meeting someone at the airport and I want to bring their dog with me. Will the dog be allowed in the arrival area? It is a very small dog.

Two urgent questions
Hi,
Q 1 - My flight from Manchester is arriving at 1.55pm at terminal 8 on Thursday July 29th. I am wanting to get the 3.30pm Trans-Bridge Lines bus to Bethlehem, PA from terminal 4, will i have enough time to go through immigration/security etc, collect my bag and get to terminal 4 in time for the bus? If i miss it, will i be able to get a service bus to Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan easily to get another Trans-Bridge Lines bus (as the next one from JFK doesn't leave until 7pm...)?
Q 2 - My next flight to LA goes at 6.25am on August 6th, how long before do i need to check in and is it possible to stay at the airport during the night before? (as i know it takes ages to get to airport from NY city...)
I hope to hear back soon, thank you.
