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.

Hello:
I am a nervous flier and I was recommended to take a tour of the airport. Where do I call for this? I was also recommended to see a cockpit, with all the things going on now days, is this possible?
thanks,

where did my baggage go?
My flight along with everyone elses was canceled yesteday at the jfk jetblue terminal. I was supposed to fly to buffalo and had checked-in one bag, but I found a ride in the morning to buffalo since they told me my check-in luggage would be brought there anyway. I can not contact the baggage claim center at jfk or buffalo international airport does anyone know where else i could call or if they had a similar problem resolved what happened?
What Happens to my Baggage when Flight is Canceled?
Last night my flight was canceled along with everyone elses at JFK and there was an announcement that although we couldn't retrieve our baggage at that time we could come back Sunday morning to get it. I have since booked a new flight for Monday evening and would like to not come back to get my bag today and just have it put on my flight tomorrow. Is this possible or do I have to come back all the way out to the airport to get my bag and then bring it back for my next flight? Also I've been trying to call the baggage service number (347-545-3900) for over an hour without talking to anyone or even being able to leave a message.

To check baggage or not to check
I have a 1 way ticket into JFK and then I have another 1 way ticket from JFK to LAS and I'm not sure whether I should check my 1 bag or just carry it on. I understand that if I check my bag i will have to pick it up at JFK and go back thru security before catching my next flight. How far is it or how long will it take to get from baggage to go back thru security? Are they in different buildings?I'm flying JetBlue both legs if that helps.
wheelchair
Hello, I am a 62 years old Spanish man who is going to be in Ny 11 days. I have reduced mobility. I can not walk long distance but I can not bring my wheelchair from Spain for some reasons. I was wondering if there is any alternative to rent or borrow any wheelchair to move into the airport, and if I there is, Can I use the wheelchair just inside the airport or can I rent it for the 11 days that I am going to be in Ny? Thank you.
