Welcome to FT!

Now that I've said that, there are a few questions that must be looked at.

- Are you US citizens? Usually the US citizen line moves faster.
- Will you have anything to declare at customs? Again this could slow you down.
- Will you be checking luggage? JFK is a zoo at times and reclaiming then rechecking your bags at Delta could eat up valuble time.

Frankly, I think it's a makeable connection and I would go for it as long as I wasn't checking bags and was flexible. If you misconnect you'll be put on the next available flight to Columbus. But that could be a while.
