Hi, I am heading to Boston
Hi,
I am heading to Boston from South Korea and transferring at JFK. I am using Korean air which will land 10:40AM. To make a connecting flight to Boston, how many hours will be needed in minimum (from Terminal 1 to 3). If I use Delta which shares service, will it be faster? There is one flight at 12:10PM from Delta otherwise I have to use other company.
suggestion?

You will have to recheck
You will have to recheck your bags upon arrival in the U.S to your final destination. Unfortunately that is one of their procedures. After that you are good to go.

Frank, you can check your
Frank,
you can check your bags all the way through Orlando, but bear in mind that you still have to pick up the bags in JFK in order to pass US customs.
At T1 you have to look for Turkish Airlines connecting flights counter - there your bags will be transfered onto your next AA flight.

You have time to connect. No need to go through immigration when leaving USA. Most likely you will have to clear security again(prior to boarding Air Europa flight).
Smoking at JFK is allowed only outside the buildings - you can go there before clearing security.
