It's unclear who this comment is intended for, but if for robin18 (the most recent poster), going outbound from the US (SAV-JFK-LON) the above does not apply as there is no passport control (other than BA checkin).

It's possible to be at T2 for both the flights. Regardless 1 hour should be fine. As it is DL pads their schedules. Even with a departure delay you can arrive early.

My flight is not until September, so I can't get much information from Delta. Curious if I will need to change terminals on a flight RDU-JFK-PRG coming in on a CRJ900. I read somewhere that Delta was consolidating a lot of their flights to Terminal 4, so maybe all I need to do is go from one end of the terminal to another? Or maybe I come in on Terminal 2 and then have to transfer?

Even now, a very large majority of flights from RDU-JFK arrive at T4, and I foresee that pattern continuing.

There is no way to know until about 24 hours before your flight which terminal it will arrive at. You may need to go from one end of T4 to the other, go a few gates down, or you may end up needing to take the Jitney from T2 to T4.

Is 1:12 enough
Hi I have a flight on a Saturday morning from Phl to JFK to hearhrow. Departs phl at 6am and departs JFK at around 8am. The layover is 1:12 minutes and virgin had mentioned concern for time and I should contact Priceline. Well there isn't an earlier flight to JFK. I don't know if I'm allowed to cancel first portion of trip and drive to JFK to avoid missing my connection . Please advise me I need help thanks

However, this is violating minimum connection time rules, so you are entitled to a change that suits you.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the below - I have a MEX-JFK-LHR trip later this summer, with a 1h 40m layover at JFK, connecting from DL to DL (8:50pm arrival into JFK, 10:30pm depature on the DL403), with checked luggage.
According to the OP this breaches the MCT, and was booked via VS on VS codeshares.
Although I do have GE (and therefore TSA-Pre) this should trim down any immigration/security, I'm still concerned as this is also the last LHR depature of the night.
Is it worth me contacting VS to discuss an alternative route? I was only sold this 2 days ago though, so I guess they must think it's okay.
