Connecting flight via JFK worries
So I only have 2hrs 10 min to catch a connecting flight flying from Edinburgh via JFK. I understand this could be very tight. Is there anything I can do over there if it looks like we are going to miss it. I read some threads were you can get fast tracked . is this a thing? Has it happened to anyone?

I do understand your worry. When we flew back last August we flew from MCO to Atlanta and then onto LHR with only 40 minutes to change planes at ATL but we did it but it was close.
I would hope that 2hours at JFK would have been enough.

The orange slip is TSA preapproved which does tend to lead to being able to go through a different queues at security where the queue is often shorter.
We've done this route a couple of times and its been fine although you wont have much time to relax and have a shifty around by the time the next flight boards... |

Sometimes the people directing you through the immigration lines will ask people if they have tight connections, however they won't deem 2hrs 10 as tight. They mean 45mins or less.
2hrs is fine to get through JFK. |

It also depends which airline you are flying through. If you arrive on a Delta flight and have a Delta internal flight, then you do not need to change terminals.

I'm flying with Delta both legs. Doing a search I've seen stories of it taking 2hrs to clear customs and immigration depending on how many flights arrive at same time. So a little anxious about it but realise that's not the norm.

It is always possible that it can take that long but unusual. Have a look at the link below and see how long the wait times have been historically around the time of your flight.
cbp.gov/travel/advisories-wait-times Also, as a contingency, I like to have options in case of delays. See when the next flight is after your one. Check your dates and see, there is usually a later DL flight around 17:30pm arriving in 22:30. Edit: Also remember that most connections do go without a hitch so don't worry about it, although that does depend on you. I'd have no worries about that connection and have done less at JFK with kids and transferring terminal. Edited at 01:22 PM. |
