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.

Transfer planes in JFK
In August, our family will take Swiss International Air from Europe to JFK arriving Terminal 4 at 2:50PM. We would like to take Jet Blue in Terminal 5 to Syracuse New York at 4:45PM.
Is 1h55min enough time for Immigration/custom check (we are US citizens) and to leave Terminal 4 to go to Terminal 5 for security check/luggage check in (Swiss Air and Jet Blue are not partner) before catching Jet Blue 4:45PM flight?
Is there any way to avoid security check again to save time?
Should we walk from Terminal 4 to 5, or should we take Air Train?
Is there any better way to make this possible?
Thank you

Hi I have to take a taxi to a train station from jfk in order to get back to baltimore. What is the closest train station from JFK and approximately how far is it/price of cab fare?
We are not familiar with
We are not familiar with driving around the city and will have a rental car at our hotel in Secaucus, NJ. We fly out JetBlue at 2:30 p.m. and would like to know when we'd need to leave 350 Lighting Way in Secaucus to get to JFK, and if you would advise us driving our rental there, or taking a taxi, etc. Is it hard to navigate getting to JFK if we're unfamiliar?
Thanks. I really appreciate your time.
Customs
Hello! I am traveling from JFK to Peru (connecting in Panama) in July. According to the Copa Airlines Webpage, I do not need to go through customs during the connecting flights. Can you please tell me when I DO go through customs? Is it at JFK before I leave, or at LIM when I land in Lima?
Thanks, Colleen

By public transportation:
By public transportation: take Airtrain from your terminal to Jamaica station. Then take E subway to Lexington Ave. and transfer to the downtown/Brooklyn bound 4,5 or 6 subway to 42nd St./Grand Central. Walk one block west to Madison Ave. and then turn left. Cost is $7.25 and time frame is a little over one hour.
Taxi from JFK is a flat rate of $50.50 ($45 plus $5 toll and 50 cent surcharge) and time frame is 35-60 minutes depending on time of day and traffic.
Thank you very much indeed

luggage
Hello,
My luggage never made it to Jfk two days ago from Atlanta and I have things that were very important to me. Can anybody just show up to the baggage claim area and claim it? I would think (and hope) some form of documentation(or a file number) would be needed before handing luggage over. The luggage is nowhere to find at this time and somebody else claiming it is the only scenario I can think of at this time.
Info
Do you have a post office and if yes, where is located and hours of operation.
Thank you,Alex
