Best of luck. JFK delays are currently showing an average (arrival) delay of 245 minutes vs. 140 at LGA per http://www.fly.faa.gov/ois/ which will have a knock on effect on departures unless your plane is already there. Runway construction at JFK plus a dying line of storms to the west are the culprits. Delta operations may also be impacted by storms near Atlanta.

Pwc 1 - thanks for the tip! Good site
