Heads up
Here's the deal: JFK's been a little messy this week — more flights running late than usual. Your airline, Delta, is actually the most reliable option on this route, but Thursday mornings tend to get backed up. Weather looks fine on both ends, so that's one less thing to worry about. The big thing to know: JFK takes forever to taxi out, so even after they close the door you'll be sitting on the tarmac for a bit. Totally normal there.

Doors close
This flight usually leaves on time, and Delta's the best carrier on this route. If it does run late, it's usually only about 20 minutes — not a huge deal for a 5-hour flight.
