John F. Kennedy International Airport is an international airport located in Jamaica, Queens, southeast of New York City.

IATA code - JFK

ICAO code - KJFK

Operated by - The airport has been operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with New York City since 1947.

Time Zone - EST (GMT -5)

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.

Missing Passenger

Good morning,
We are trying to track down a passenger who arrived from Port of Spain on 28 Jan. He was due to connect onward from JFK to Frankfurt on LH401, and onto Split(Croatia) that same day. He missed those flights, was reprotected onto same flights on 29 Jan but these were also missed. We are having major difficulty in getting in touch with this passenger - can you please put an all terminal call out for him to call either his employers, or ourselves - ATPI Travel, London, 44 207 111 8930.
Many thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Sales tax refund

I've heard I can get sales tax refund at the airport if I am a tourist. It is that possible? Where is that office at the airport? Thanks

arriving Terminal 3 and departing TM1 for Morocco

I have an international flight tomorrow. Can you tell me how I can get from Terminal 3 to TM1 for Morocco. Is TM1 the gate number? I will be arriving from Atlanta and have a 3 hr 40 min layover at JFK. I just want to be sure to have enough time for international flight. Thank you.

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???

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 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

Complaint

Where do I lodge a complaint about my car being erroneously towed to the tune of $550? Who gets their car towed from a paid-for parking lot?

Hi Susan. Do you know who

Hi Susan. Do you know who owns the parking lot? E.g. was it the parking lot associated with JFK Terminal itself, or is it owned and run by a private company close to the Airport, but not affiliated with whoever runs JFK?

Whoever owns the parking lot &/or is contracted to run it, would be my first choice as to who to contact.

From there maybe find out if they have a contract with a certain towing company and what their agreement with them is. For example: some lots have immediate towing, 24-7, which can come into force from not having posted one's payment stub, not parking between the lines, expired meter/payt stub, staying past the limits for the lot (--like long-term parking in a short-term lot) etc.

Hope this helps.
