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.

"Hello, I will be arriving on a Delta Flight at 6:05AM from Seattle, Washington. My next flight will leave from JFK towards Buenos Airs on a Avianca flight leaving at 8:00AM. I am writing to ask if I will have enough time to make the change between flights to assure I make my flight to Buenos Aires. What are some things I can do to make this quicker?
