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 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 arrive in terminal 3 with a short lay over, then i leave off a flight from terminal 4. do i need to go out to ticketing and back through to get to terminal 4 or is it a simple walk to the next terminal? they said they could just ticket me at the gate, if i can just go straight through.
