Thanks

Actually our trip isnt until July, so I hope all the volcano ash problems will be over with by then

I have called Delta Airlines 3 times and spoke with 3 different agents and they all said it is enough time. But then I called JFK airport and they said they advise against it. I am leaning towards taking the chance for it, but Im just worried if we miss the 9pm flight and get put on standby..what if the 9am flight the next morning is full

Also, our Iberia flight will land in terminal 7 and our Delta flight will depart from terminal 3. Will it be faster to recheck our bags in T7 after we clear customs, or to take them with us to T3 to check them there

I have found some hotels close to the airport for about $100/night with free shuttle service to JFK, in case we decide to go for the morning flight

Ya Ive heard about that…there are even websites dedicated to sleeping in airports! But what do you do, bring a sleeping bag? Or spend the night on a bench/on the floor?

I wouldn’t take the risk, changing terminal adds extra time, and you never know about any immigration delay. Some times the passengers are out within an hour, and some times it takes upto two hours. and remember, you would need to go through security again to board your next flight. Evening time is a pretty bz time at the airport.
