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.

thru checkin
if the itinerary has the final destination included, and if the luggage is thru checked into final destination, he doesnt have to carry it to T8. as soon as he finishes customs, there is a place to handover the luggage for checkin.
terminal operating hours
It's impossible to find out when terminal 7 is open for a 6 A.M. flight, I've been all over the web. Does anyone know what the operating hours of this terminal are? You would think this would be the easiest thing to find in the world, but no, apparently it's a secret!
place to sleep in the day
Stuck all day up all night is there a place in the terminal that one can rent a bed for the day???
Unfortunately not at JFK

ORD-JFK AA 572 connecting @JFK LY 02 to TLV
My son is flying from ORD arriving at JFK on AA 572 @4:10pm connecting to LY O2 at 6pm. Will he have enough time to get through security/passport control and will AA let him check his bags through even though they are two separate tickets. I ask because sometimes AA says yes and then at the airport they say no. Thank you!

My son is flying from
My son is flying from Ireland to JFK, arriving 6:20 pm and is considering flying Delta to Washington at 8:40. Is this enough time to get through customs and board next flight. Can he tag his bag through to DC with aer lingus and put it at the transfer station so he does not need to have it checked 45 minutes ahead of time. thanks
If he is flying to JFK from
If he is flying to JFK from Shannon he will clear US customs at Shannon. He should check with Aer Lingus if they have a baggage agreement with Delta and can tag the bags through to DCA, if not he will have to check his bags with Delta for the flight to DCA.
