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.

My family is flying with out two dogs from Tanzania relocating back to CO with US passports. We plan to spend the night in NYC before proceding to CO the next evening. I understand that there is a kennel in the airport where I can leave my dogs overnight. What is the procedure for clearing the dogs through customs and getting them to the kennel? Are there also places to store excess baggage overnight at the airport?

my daughter will be arriving on an aer lingus flight from ireland arriving at jfk terminal 4 at 620. I would like to book her on a flight leaving jfk at 830 on american airlines (I believe it is terminal 8. Will 2 hours be enough time for delays, customs, and baggage. And if so, how does she get from one terminal to the other.
If she departs from Shannon she will pre-clear US Customs there, if not then two hours is mimimum to allow for customs and terminal transfer. From T4 go to 3rd floor and take AirTrain on track 1 to T8.
i'll arrive on 3.oct at 3:15pm from cairo to jfk and i'll reserve delta at 6:25pm from jfk to msy on 3.oct.can time be enough to make check customer and go to boarding

Hi there,
I was hoping you could advise on the following matter:
I'll be arriving on a QR flight from Doha at 1500. I was hoping to hop on an AA flight to Boston at 1640. Considering that both flights are in T8, would you reckon 1 hour 40 minutes be sufficient for me?
Thank you.
I have to pick up my wife from the airport this week. She is traveling from Kilaminjaro to JFK by way of Amsterdam. She is scheduled to arrive in the late afternoon. How long should it take her to clear customs?
I am arriving JFK from Instabul, Turkey at 3.45 pm on 17th Sept. and would like to take a bus to Boston, how long does it take to clear customs and get a bus or train to Boston?
Allow at least one hour for customs clearance. Take ground transportation (bus or subway) to Penn Station and take either Amtrak train or Megabus to Boston. Bus is cheaper than train, bus is located a block from Penn Station on 9th Ave.
can someone answer this:
am i able to see central park when i am in flight from heathrow to jfk?

I was wondering if you guys had the office number for Egypt Air in terminal 4. Not the general phone number, they weren't much help.
I am flying from Washington (DCA) to Johannesburg (JNB) by way of New York (JFK). I purchased two separate tickets, one on American for my DCA-JFK leg, and a second on South African Airways for my JFK-JNB leg. The DCA-JFK flight arrives 3+ hours before the JFK-JNB flight departs.
When I check-in at DCA, is it possible to check-in for my JFK-JNB flight as well and receive both tickets and have my bags checked all the way through? Or will I need to claim my bags at JFK, and check in again at JFK for my JNB flight?
My main concern is that the tickets are on separate airlines (SAA is a Star Alliance/United partner, not AA partner). Do they have interlining agreements for ticketing and baggage?
You will most likely pick up your luggage and check it in into Johannesburg.

I will be arriving at JFK Terminal 8 on 10/14/2012 from BCN @ 12:50pm. Will I have time to clear customs and catch 2:55 connection to MCO? Both flights are on American Airlines. Am I correct in assuming I must clear customs and have luggage checked at JFK rather than
having it checked through to MCO?
I am taking a domestic flight that departs at 6:10 am in the morning. What time should I arrive? Last year I took a similar flight and arrived at 4:30 am. The Terminal was not open until 5:00 a.m. and I had to stand outside.
Its better to be early than to be late. I would show up 2 hours before your flight.

How can I go to the Rent a car offices(National) with my dog and the Box
Thanks
HiLuisFB,
understand ur worries. Been there, done that! U will need to find a clerk to help you with the travel box. Disassemble it for the taxi. Grab a taxi with the box, luggage and ur dog to get to National. Or store ur box and return for it later.
All the best, good luck and safe travels!!

I will plan to use 3 Terminal. so, Is there a Louis Vuitton duty-free shop in 3 Terminal?
Could you please tell me:

Thank you.
First time in JFK. I am arriving from Málaga at 12:45 pm and taking my flight to San Francisco at 14:37 pm. Tickets have been bought separately. - Will I have time enough to take the domestic flight? - And what are the steps I will have to take?. Fe: I don't know if I have to go through customs /inmigration twice, if the distance is long between terminals, etc. Advice about this will be most appreciated.
Hello,
I have a friend who is coming over from Australia, and landing in terminal 7. I will be landing a few hours earlier from Germany in Terminal 1.
So, I have 2 questions:
1) My friend has a stopover at LAX on her way... so will she have to go through customs in NY? I had assumed no, but terminal 7 appears to only be an international terminal.
2) Is there a good, very clear meeting point in terminal 7 where I can tell her to meet me? We won't have working cell phones, so I need something that is easy and unmissable.
Thanks!

Not an experienced traveler. Arriving by Jet Blue at 5:45pm on Fri ( 5/18) checking a bag. How do I get from bag claim to airport transportation to T 7 for a 8:40pm dept on Iceland Air? Is the air train the best way to get to T 7? About how long will it take to get to T 7? Do I have enough time time to do all this?
I am traveling with my service dog from JFK-Moscow-Larnaca. The Aeroflot airline knows it is a service dog and will NOT confirm my dog on the flight to Moscow. Is this allowed? I am a US citizen with proper documentation for my dog. Thank you!!
My wife is flying AirBerlin out of JFK to Copenhagen then onto St Petersburg, Russia. Her flight leaves JFK at 5:30 PM May 18th.
Her Russin visa is not expected to be ready until Thursday May 17, 2012 late afternoon. (Even though we applied for expedited visa processing and submitted it May 1st).
We live in Albany NY and will need to leave home before noon May 18 to get to JFK on time. There appears to be no time to have approved visa fedex to our home in time.
Can you offer us a solution?
Can we have her visa and passport fedex'd to a destination within JFK to allow her to receive it there (or a destination close by, hotel,...) ?
Thank You.

Hi,Everyone:
I'm not an experienced international traveler. Nevertheless, I'm flying Emirates Airlines from South Africa to Chicago with layovers in Dubai and New York. Upon arriving at JFK, I'll catch a connecting flight with United.
My questions are these:
1. Once I touchdown at JFK, as an American citizen, do I have to clear both Immigration and Customs? Please explain why, and;
2. do I recheck my luggage at the Emirates station or at the United station? Please explain why.
Thanks for the insight.
Chicago
1.Yes you do and everyone has to clear them regardless.
2.United Airlines station.
