JFK International Airport (Kennedy Airport)050

JFK is located in the southeastern section of Queens County, New York City, on Jamaica Bay. It is fifteen miles by highway from midtown Manhattan. International and national flights leave from this Long Island airport, formerly called Idlewild. The Central Terminal Area (CTA) consists of nine airline passenger terminals numbered 1 to 9, surrounded by a dual ring of peripheral taxiways. Initially 655 acres, the CTA was enlarged to 880 acres by relocation of the taxiways to provide space needed for expansion of the passenger terminals. JFK facilities include an interdenominational chapel, located on the second floor of Terminal 4 and a Ramada Plaza Hotel with 520 rooms. Parking: Two kinds of public parking are available at JFK: Long-Term Parking and Central Terminal Area (CTA) Parking.
