I'm on flight DL16 from SYD-LAX which arrives at 6:40AM on a Friday morning and have to be on a connecting flight to JFK (DL2662) at 8:00AM. I rang up and checked with Delta and they said that the minimum clearance time is 50 minutes for LAX which seems a bit short to me to clear sercurity, customs and to race to another plane.

Am I going to make the connecting flight??
