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.

Terminal 3 to Terminal 8 transfer with baggage
I will be arriving from Phoenix to JFK Terminal 3 with Delta Airlines at 3 PM and have to take an international flight from Terminal 8 to London Heathrow (operated by American Airlines on behalf of Gulf Air) at 6 PM.
1. Will I have sufficient time to make the transfer?
2. Will I have to collect my baggage from terminal 3 and transfer it to terminal 8 myself or is there anyway to check it in to my next flight from T8?
3. If I have to transfer it myself, Can I take the baggage trolley on the AirTrain to T8?
Please help as I do not want to end up looking for directions in the last minute.
Thanks in advance.
Complaint
Where do I lodge a complaint about my car being erroneously towed to the tune of $550? Who gets their car towed from a paid-for parking lot?
Hi Susan. Do you know who
Hi Susan. Do you know who owns the parking lot? E.g. was it the parking lot associated with JFK Terminal itself, or is it owned and run by a private company close to the Airport, but not affiliated with whoever runs JFK?
Whoever owns the parking lot &/or is contracted to run it, would be my first choice as to who to contact.
From there maybe find out if they have a contract with a certain towing company and what their agreement with them is. For example: some lots have immediate towing, 24-7, which can come into force from not having posted one's payment stub, not parking between the lines, expired meter/payt stub, staying past the limits for the lot (--like long-term parking in a short-term lot) etc.
Hope this helps.
