New York City - MCT Egyptair to Delta at JFK

Arriving from Cairo at 3:15pm and my preferred domestic connection is Delta at 5:15. I'm a US Citizen. Is this too optimistic? This is my first time on this forum, I apologize in advance for any breach of etiquette,

Moved this to TravelBuzz!, where people should be able to give advice.

IF your plane lands on time, and IF you're not checking a bag, and IF it's one ticket, and IF Venus & Saturn are aligned, you'll make it. If you are checking a bag, then all bets are off. Here's what you'll have to do after your land:

Go through customs
Wait for your bag (if applicable)
Leave T4 and either walk to T3 or take the AirTrain there.
Check in at DL's counter.

If you are checking a bag, note that even for a domestic flight, DL requires the bag be checked 60 minutes in advance for a JFK flight. And if it's separate tickets and you miss the cutoff, DL doesn't have any responsibility to rebook you (they'd probably make you pay $50 for their same-day confirmed program.)

In short...I wouldn't try it.

Oh, and welcome to FT!
