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.

Hi, I'm flying with Delta From PSA (Italy) to JFK then from JFK to Las Vegas after 4 hours, my flights are:

PISA DL 0137 U 07AUG 1325 UHSX1T 1PC OK
NEW YORK JFK ARRIVAL TIME: 1725
TERMINAL:3

NEW YORK JFK DL 1729 U 07AUG 2129 UHSX1T 1PC OK
TERMINAL:3
LAS VEGAS LAS ARRIVAL TIME: 0012
TERMINAL:1

I'm aware that landing in JFK after the immigration check I have to claim my baggage and check-in again before Las Vegas Flight.
What I need to know is:
do I have to go outside and check-in again just as I'm taking a new flight or there's an internal way to get to another check-in desk dedicated to passengers with connection flights? I'm worried 4 hours aren't really enough !
Thanks
Regards

Hi GFK_Specialits,
I took a Delta fly (July 15th, 1H00 PM)from Raleigh,RDU airport to JFK then a Royal Air Morocco fly from JFK to Casablanca in Morocco (July 15th, 6H45 PM). At RDU, I checked-IN with my family 4 bags to the ou final destintion "Casablanca" so we don't need to grab them in JFK airport. When we arrived in casablanca (July 16th, 7h30 AM), we found just 3 out of the 4 checked-IN bags in CMN Airport. We claimed the bag to the airline company and they gave us a Ref for the "World Tracer" tool and they asked us to chheck for the status of the lost bag. Till now, there is no update and we're still waiting for news. I checked also in the Delta website usin the lost bag reference and it has the same status that it has arrived to JFK. Is there any mean (System)to check the bag status in JFK airport?
Thanks a lt for your help.
