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.

Are baggage carts readily available at T-7 baggage claim? What is the procedure for renting one - cash or credit card? I'll have 3 full sized bags plus carry ons to get to T-4.

pay phones?
Hi, Will I be able to find a coin - operated payphone at JFK or is it only credit card phones? How much does a local call (to Queens) cost? Also, if I have to call a number that is 800-xxx-xxxx, does that mean that it is a free call number, or is 800 an area code in Queens?
Thanks for you help!
In this era of cell phones
In this era of cell phones most, if not all of the pay phones are gone. Check at one of the information desks when you arrive for available public phones. 800 is a toll free number.

I will arrive at JFK at midnight then go to Edison, NJ. Please any one could advise, if it is easy and safe to take cab and how much it will cost, many thanks
Taxi to Edison will cost
Taxi to Edison will cost around $100+. You can take Amtrak from Penn Station to Metropark which is the closest Amtrak station to Edison or NJ Transit to Edison, although late night service is infrequent on both train lines. Options for getting to Penn Station at that hour are taxi ($45+tolls+tip), or AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station ($5) and LIRR ($5.50) to Penn Station. The E subway ($2.25) from Jamaica also stops at Penn Station but opt for LIRR at that hour instead.
