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.

Can you tell me what the check-in procedure is at American Airlines when traveling with a dog who will go in the cargo compartment?

You may not use a video camera to record airport or security operations. You're probably ok if you limit recording to the immediate gate area, immediate terminal entrance, etc.

Hi, do you have ATM machines at the immigration area or after the baggage claim area? I will be arriving at AA terminal. Tks!

There are two ATM machines after the baggage claim area - one by the elevators, the second one is by the domestic baggage claim carousels.

Hi,
Can I mail a package from the airport? If there is no post/courier services at the airport, where is the nearest one?
Thank you,
Igor

Hello

My girlfriend and I are flying out of JFK to different destinations. I am off to Dublin, Ireland on DL164 (Terminal 3) and she is gong to Bogota, Colombia on AV 0285 (terminal 4).

Since I fly earlier than her, can she check in at terminal 3 and then head off for her flight later?

Thanks

Rodrigo

I entered US in June 22nd, and left US in august 16th, by Qatar airways (flight number:QR084, from terminal 4), but they have not taken the NSEERS REGISTRANT from my passport. What should I do? How can I surrender it to you?
P.S. My FINS number is 1104334975
Best Regards,
Mehdi Mottaghi Dastjerdi
