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.

I will be travelling through
I will be travelling through JFK on my way to Helsinki. When I booked my trip I was to arrive on Delta at 2pm with the next flight leaving on a Finnair flight at 5:40pm. Delta has since moved my departure out of Tampa to JFK twice pushing my arrival in JFK to just after 3pm. I am concerned about two things: (1) if Delta pushes me back any further it could make my transfer very difficult; and (2) how does transferring luggage occur when changing terminals and airlines in what could be a very short amount of time? This is my first time flying international and first time through JFK so this is making me nervous. Thanks
