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'm due to arrive from London heathrow at jfk at 12:40 and have a connecting flight to pittsburgh at 16:10. Is this enough time to clear customs (I am a US citizen) and collect my baggage if my connecting flight is also in the same terminal (3)? Thanks

I will arrive at 23:30hrs on friday Nov 05 in JFK terminal-1, What is the best option to get to my hotel (Country Inn) in Long Islad City??

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.

by subway ($7.25); AirTrain from terminal to Jamaica Station, transfer to inbound E subway to Roosevelt Ave/Jackson Hgts, transfer to inbound #7 subway to Queensboro Plaza, walk west on Crescent St. to hotel. Taxi is closer to $40 including tip.

My son will be returning to active duty in the US Army stationed in Korea. He is flying on US Air direct from JFK to Seoul, Korea. Am I allowed to go with him to the gate to see him off?

I ordered a package and tracked through EMS and they said that it was dropped of here at JFKA.. I would like to know if you guys have my package and if so is there any tracking information so that I can know my expected arrival date or is this all just a scam?

Which airlines are you flying on and from/to where?
Smoking is allowed only outside the buildings and there is no way for you to go and smoke without going through security on your way back.
