Connection times at JFK for International flight

score:4

Accepted answer

You shouldn't do this unless the airline will agree to combine the tickets into a single itinerary with a guaranteed connection. Delta's minimum check in time for international departures from JFK is one hour. If the flight from Spokane arrives 30 minutes late, they won't have time to check in. If it arrives 75 minutes late, they'll miss the 15-minute deadline to be at the gate even if they're already checked in. A delay of that length may not be likely, but it would certainly not be unusual.

Consider how inconvenient and/or expensive it would be to miss the group flight, and weigh that against the cost of a night in a hotel. It would be safer to fly to New York the day before.
