I just called DL and the agent, and her supervisor, told me they had no idea what is was either. They see the same thing I do, Terminal 4, gate 72.

They probably painted a few new stripes and lines on the ramp out at the RJ farm and are calling it "Gate 72." 
Wear your hiking boots for that one.

And awesome thread. Usually connect in JFK plenty of times, but usually DL-DL and D-D, so easy-peezy! 
Have a DL-AI connection coming up!
DL ATL-JFK, arriving at around 10:20 am
AI -JFK-DEL departing at 3:15 pm.
As of now, looks like both the flights arrive and depart from T4. I was wondering if there was a way to stay airside and get my AI BP's, perhaps from the lounge itself (OLCI with AI yields only a coupon for international flights)? Trying to avoid going through the TSA nude-o-scope twice in one day.
Just some stats:
1.Flying international J on AI
2.*A Gold status
3. DL PM and also have access to SC (not sure if it matters, just throwing it out there)
Thanks much!

Worst case, as long as you get to the AI lounge 3 hours or so before your flight, is that they say no and you go landside and check in there. Either way might be useful to hang out at the Sky Club for 90 minutes or so, as long as your inbound flight is on time, to kill time until AI's facilities are likely to be open.

Does anyone have any anecdotal stats on the frequency or likelihood of the DM Porsche car service for connections at JFK?
I have a regional inbound CRJ flight connecting to JFK-LAX in discount J. Layover is 47 minutes, late on Sunday afternoon.
I'm a little (though not wildly) concerned about the connection time, but I'd certainly feel more comfortable if I knew the car service connection were more likely.

IAD - JFK (48m) - FRA
Hi,
i yesterday booked a flight that left me with a Layover of just 48 minutes. We will be arriving at JFK with DL3349 from IAD at 6:50PM and hopefully leaving to FRA at 7:38 with DL410. I checked flightradar and it seems like both flight are located at Terminal 4, am i right?
What do you guys think: Is this doable?
Thanks for your Help!

DL 410 is expected to leave from T4 (first digit of flight number).

Hi,
My wife and I will be connecting in JFK.
Inbound flight: DL43 ex BRU
2 hours 26 min. Connecting time
Outbound flight: DL2407 to MCO
We are flying Delta one/ First
Any advice how to best tackle our connection is highly appreciated!
is there a Skypriority Immigration/ security entry? If so, where to go?
Is DL2407 always from T2?
Thanks for the assistance!

T4 immigration and customs has gotten better, but it can still be chaotic. With the addition of the kiosks, the immigration lines for US/permanent residents can move fast (even if it looks like a lot of people in line). Customs has slowed down though (people get through immigration faster so it bunches up), and will be very slow if flights from certain destinations arrive when your flight does. If you qualify, I highly recommend getting Global Entry. You will breeze through immigration and customs (plus you get Pre-check).

I just had a schedule change that makes my connection really tight. I have 50 minutes.
I'm flying BOS-JFK-LHR. Most BOS-JFK flights arrive at T2. The JFK-LHR leg is operated by VS.
It would make sense to fly BOS-LHR nonstop, but the JFK-LHR flight is the only flight operated by DL/VS that isn't a redeye. My instinct says that 50 minutes to make this connection is a bad idea.
