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.

A friend is flying out of JFK, Terminal 6 and would like to drive my car to the airport and leave the car in short term parking so I can pick up the car when I arrive on my flight later in the day at Terminal 4.
I'm not familiar with short term parking and want to be able to find the car...any suggestions?

I have done this many times in Columbus Ohio I have who ever leaves my car tie a helium filled balloon to it. They sell them everywhere it can say anything or just be a certain color but it sticks up high enough if you know the level and the section your car should be in just look for a balloon. Hope it works as well for you as it has for me.
Have a great day

Could someone tell me which gate cayman airlines operates out of. It would really help me out in judging whether or not I can make my connecting flight with them

Im arriving in JFK at 9.30 and was wondering what would be the best form of transport to Wall Street?

Hi, I am arriving at JFK on 16th Nov night (9:40PM) by Delta Airlines.

My next flight from JFK on 17th Nov morning (10:40AM) by Emirates Airlines.

My whole trip is on a single ticket, as the airlines share a code.

Now, as my layover is about 13 hrs, can I do a through baggage checkin, so that I can go outside the airport lighter.

If yes, how should I confirm that they actually have taken care of my baggages for the onward journey.

If no, can I collect the baggage(from terminal 3) and again check them back in(terminal 4, Emirates counter) on 16th night itself ? Would the Emirates staff be present at counter to collect my belongings ?

What is the airport policy regarding baggage check-in and how early can I checkin the baggage provided through check-in is not an option.

Thanks

I am taking a flight on Friday to Istanbul, how many hours before the flight do I need to arrive at the airport?

Thanks.
