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.

6 HOUR LAYOVER OVERNIGHT
Does anyone know if I can stay in the terminal overnight? My flight arrives at 12:30am and my next flight does not leave until 7:45am. Also, I am going to have to go back out of security, do you know if I would be able to go back through security at that time?
administrative contacts
Hello,
Would anyone know where or how I could find administrative / operations contacts (names, titles, phone #'s, addresses) for JFK airport (and other major international airports); this sort of information is difficult to find on the main websites or isn't listed at all. Thanks to whoever can help.
getting to manhattan
i need to know the cheapest way to Manhattan from JFK. Thanks!
jet blue kiosk
Does JFK have the kiosk to print online purchased tickets?
travel adaptors
What shop would carry an England travel adaptor...any store contact numbers?
This is the most useless
This is the most useless website I have ever seen. You would expect that the website for an airport would have easy navigation to a link where you can check arrival/departure times...apparently not. Very disappointing.
Getting between terminals
I have to go from arrival on Delta in T2 to T1 to catch my China Air flight. I dont see any info on an airport shuttle on the website. If I'm carrying luggage, are carts available. Thanx
Strollers to rent/loan at the airport?
Are there strollers for a 1 year-old baby at the airport that I can rent or loan?
Cell Phone Chargers
I believe that there are over 50 cell phone charging kiosks at JFK Airport (these are stand alone units with multiple cell phone charging jacks that passengers and others can use in order to charge their phones, if required). Can you confirm this and do you have a picture that you could possibly send to me. I am interested in these units for airports in my country.
Thanks

How Can I do that?
Help!
I will be arriving at terminal 1 and departing at terminal 6 about 2 hours later. Are 2 hours enough to clear customs and get to terminal 6?
Lockers
I arrive to JFK around 2 a.m. and then I have to take my flight to Switzerland at 20:45. Does somebody have an idea if we can find a locker to store our luggage 'cause We'll go shopping to Manhattan between flights? Do the airport has this facility, or Do we have to pay something anywhere else. Also want some info if we can sleep on the airport, for about 4 hrs?
hours of operation?
Hi,
I will be arriving at JFK on United airlines at 12:55 am, and departing on Virgin Atlantic at 7:00 am. I know I need to change terminals, but is there someplace that I can sit in the airport between these flights? I need to check in with Virgin Atlantic at about 5 am, and would prefer not to have to get a hotel room for 4 hours.
Thank you.
ps. I am legally blind and will be travelling with my guide dog. I will not have any checked luggage.
