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.

You could try asking at the Thomas Cook money exchange place, they may offer this service. Or try logging onto XOOM - you can send money anywhere via the internet. American Express may also be helpful to you.

flight info
Hi there - American Airline's website has all the info and will even text message you with updates on their flight information. As to other airlines, you should try their websites. I have heard that the FAA might have a feature on their website that keeps track of flights - but Im not 100% sure of this.
i had an operation and i have a staple in my lung...
Dear JFK Team and Forum Members,
On the 20th November, 2008 I had an operation (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery - VATS), because I had several PTX in my left lung. I'm planning to fly New York, JFK because I will have a summer job, in Maryland. I have a medical staple in the upper part of my left lung. Can it causes any trouble, I mean at the checking gates, or anywhere? I have never flight before, so I would appreciate any information.
You can write me here: [email protected]
Thank you all for helping,
Gabor

You really should contact the airline and make arrangements with them for any special needs you have. They should also be made aware of your situation in case anything happens to you inflight. They need to have emergency contact numbers for you. You should be sure to ask a doctor if it is indeed safe for you to fly. Pressurization seriously affects the lungs. Generally, aircraft pressurize to an altitude of around 8000' - this is comfortable for healthy individuals but can put stress on the cardio-vascular system. You do not want to be the cause of 200+ people having to divert into a foreign airport in the middle of the night. It is not safe for you, and causes an emergency on the part of the crew and all the other passengers.
