IATA code - JFK
ICAO code - KJFK
Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.
Time Zone - EST (GMT -5)
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.

I am bringing a dog with me on my flight from Taiwan on July 3. It has all of it's shots and paperwork, BUT I am still not clear about what she will have to do at the airport. Will she have to be inspected by someone before they let her go out of the airport? Will that person be working at 10:15 when my flight arrives? I have looked around, but I dont know what department to contact about this. Anyone who has brought a dog in with them to JFK or has any info; it is much appreciated!

Hello
We, two of us, are flying into JFK on September 29 and will be staying at the at the Grand Union Hotel on E32st.
What is the cheapest/easiest way to get to the hotel from the airport?
Can anyone give rough costsings ?
Many Thanks
If you contact the hotel you are staying at they can usually schedule a shuttle service for you, if they don't offer that as part of your stay. Any outside shuttle service usually costs about $20.00 per person.
get on the AIR TRAIN, i believe it costs $5.00 per person ..go to the howard beach train station and get on the A train going to Manhattan and the subway costs $2.00 per person..that is the cheapest way you are getting into the city...its not fun but it is the cheapest.
Are dogs allowed in the airport when you are picking someone up? My daughter will be returning from Ireland after 8 weeks and I know she will be anxious to see her puppy.
Thanks

i arrive in terminal 3 with a short lay over, then i leave off a flight from terminal 4. do i need to go out to ticketing and back through to get to terminal 4 or is it a simple walk to the next terminal? they said they could just ticket me at the gate, if i can just go straight through.
