a. you mentioned a shuttle in an earlier post. It appears to be no longer running. The shuttles were never very popular and since Covid, they haven't returned.
b. There is major construction on the route (Van Wyke Expressway) between the two airports. It can easily taken an hour or more to get from one to the other. ( by taxi)
I do not know if it is a doable as your feel. --and don't forget winter weather!

Well, JAL 8006 is now at least 70 min delayed on departure. Any idea at what point that "connection" through LGA would become IIROPS and would it be JAL or AA (AA award) that would deal with that? Still hoping for a (free) way to get her on a JFK-MIA.
Is there such a thing like EU261 in Japan?

It is possible that JL will make up some time en-route to JFK. If the flight is delayed much more, she could ask JL to re-route her before departure from Tokyo.

well, they just announced another hour delay - so it's 130 min delayed now. AA claims that they don't see a delay and JAL claims they can't change an award ticket which sounds questionable. JAL is talking to AA now - we'll see what they come up with

She is on the 1:30 PM from JFK to MIA now. No idea why they wouldn't put her on the 12:55 - but since it is Y now I assume she can work on that when she gets to JFK

Now that I reread your post - yes, she will be in Y - sorry
