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.
I am flying AA Halifax to New York then New York to Miami
If both flights are on AA your bags should be checked through to Miami. You will clear US customs at Halifax prior to departure.

My daughter is doing a project on Colombia. How long does it take from JFK airport to the airport in Bogota the El Nuevo Dorado Airport????
From American Airlines; total flight time is approximately 6.5 hours; JFK to Miami is 3 hours and Miami to Bogota is 3.5 hours.
There's a group of 4 of us travelling to JFK on Saturday 18th December and we'll be arriving from the UK about midday. Any idea how long it will take to get through customs and get our luggage? Many thanks
Normally 30-45 minutes, however holiday season may bring larger crowds and longer waits.
Hi-
My newly adopted daughter and I will be flying in to JFK; she has a european passport with a visa to enter the US. I am a US citizen and have a US passport.
Please tell me which line we have to get on to clear immigration. Since she is very young, I am hoping that we can queue up at the US line.
Thanks!
Your site says about terminal 5 : "Terminal 5 is temporarily closed."
And about terminal 6: "All Jetblue operations have moved to Terminal 5"
Which one is correct?

Terminal 5 is open and serves Jet Blue. BTW, your cousin did a magnificent job on the main terminal at Dulles Airport!!

NYAS express bus will take you for $13 and it takes around 30mins.
Taxi will cost you between $27-$35 and it will take you ~20-30 mins.
