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.

Public transport is the
Public transport is the cheapest option. Use google maps and enter JFK and the street of the hotel for directions. There are several options, some including train other subway and bus which is cheaper. It will take you about an hour.
Easier is a cab, which is probably about $ 20 and half an hour ride.

Unless US Air will issue you
Unless US Air will issue you a gate pass so you can clear security to the gate, you will not be able to. Inquire at the US Air counter.
