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.

Long lay over options
Hi Admin,
Quick question, I will be traveling through JFK in a couple weeks and have a 9 hr. layover. It doesn't makes sense to rent a room for this short a time but I was wondering if the airport offers sleeper rooms which would allow me to nap for a couple hours as I wait for my next flight.
thanks,
Matt
rooms
Hotels are WAY too expensive, especially for a few hours. You should be able to find a place to crash for a while. By the time you check out, eat, check back in. you will only sleep a little anyway.
where can i look for job
where can i look for job postings?

They are very rude, don't just hang up, at least listen to the concern, in this case it was a family member who had not been heard from! Sorry that it was not more serious for Airport security!
