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.

Hello
We, two of us, are flying into JFK on September 29 and will be staying at the at the Grand Union Hotel on E32st.
What is the cheapest/easiest way to get to the hotel from the airport?

Can anyone give rough costsings ?

Many Thanks

If you contact the hotel you are staying at they can usually schedule a shuttle service for you, if they don't offer that as part of your stay. Any outside shuttle service usually costs about $20.00 per person.

take air train then subway $7/each

get on the AIR TRAIN, i believe it costs $5.00 per person ..go to the howard beach train station and get on the A train going to Manhattan and the subway costs $2.00 per person..that is the cheapest way you are getting into the city...its not fun but it is the cheapest.

Are dogs allowed in the airport when you are picking someone up? My daughter will be returning from Ireland after 8 weeks and I know she will be anxious to see her puppy.

Thanks

Can someone tell me if the shuttle buses stil run around JFK or did the air train replace them completely.

The Airtrain replaced the shuttle around the airport.
It is free and quite convenient.
