When was JFK Terminal 1 built?

When it opened in 1998, John F. Kennedy International Airport's Terminal One served fewer than three million passengers a year. By 2019, that number had jumped to more than four million and was expected to quickly exceed the terminal's design capacity.



Visiting Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas in 2026 is less about a traditional hotel stay and more about experiencing a massive, self-contained "oceanic kingdom." The primary draw is Aquaventure, a 141-acre water park featuring high-speed slides through shark-filled lagoons and a mile-long "Rapid River." Beyond the thrills, Atlantis houses the world's largest open-air marine habitat, with over 50,000 aquatic animals across 14 lagoons. In 2026, the resort has completed a major renovation of the Royal Towers, blending digital-first guest services with its classic "Lost City" mythology. It is an ideal destination for families who want a mix of luxury dining, a world-class casino, and interactive marine education programs like "Dolphin Cay." While expensive, the sheer scale of the resort means you can find everything from a budget-friendly beach day to a $25,000-a-night bridge suite, making it a "bucket list" destination for its unique blend of Caribbean beauty and over-the-top entertainment.
