It is single booking however, DL has said they won't protect me. I booked this as award travel and at that time the lax-jfk leg was at 11:15am with the syd va1 flight arriving at 9:15 a.m. Subsequently, that 11:15am flight was canceled and i was moved to a 1:45 p.m. flight but upon checking yesterday I saw a 11:35 a.m. flight and i told them to move me to that one. At first they said no because you need 2.5hrs MCT but i told them my original flight was at 11:15 then they said that the supervisor said fine but that i'm on my own if i miss it. I don't know how well that'll hold up but i'd like to get info on whether TBIT cbp is moving quickly.

My father just traveled from india to jfk and he said that jfk customs is 5 mins for USC's because now it is all automated.
