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.

We arrive at JFK next wednesday afternoon, what is the best way to bet to our Times Square Hotel?

1)Taxi direct to hotel is $45+tolls+tip.
2)NYAirports bus to Port Authority Bus Terminal ($15), located a few blocks from Times Square.
3)AirTrain on track 1 from terminal to Jamaica Station ($5), transfer to E subway to Port Authority ($2.25).

If I arrive to JFK from Orlando by Delta at 9:44 am and departing from JFK to Kiev by Ausrian airlines can my luggage be registered from Orlando to Kiev, or should I re-check it at JFK? If I should re-check the luggage can I do that 7 hours before the flight NY-Vienna-Kiev? Thank you.

It depends whether two airlines have a luggage agreement. If they do your bags should be clipped all the way.

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

If at check-in your bags are tagged to Las Vegas, when you exit customs take your bags to the connecting flights counter. If not you will need to re-check at the ticket counter on the departures level. Four hours should be plenty of time.

thanks !!!

How far is Newark airport from JFK airport. What is the cheapest way to get from new ark to JFK. Is there bag restrictions on JFK other than the airline that you fly with bag restriction?
