I have two questions which are sort of intertwined
I have a MEL-LAX-JFK-LAX-MEL trip booked, but I just realised the LAX-JFK stopover is only 2 hours. Given I am arriving at the US border during a particularly busy time of the day and have to clear customs, immigration, etc... I'm concerned that 2 hours might not be enough.
I'm also on the waitlist for point-upgrade to J.
My questions are:
Cheers.

My questions are:
- If I miss that LAX-JFK flight, and just re-book it on the day through Delta, will that cause problems with the rest of my trip? Does missing a leg invalidate the ticket or similar?
- Last time I changed the flight, I needed to have the ticket reissued, which I presume will happen again. I know not a lot is known about the way the waitlist works, but am I likely to lose my place in the queue if I do this to move the flights a bit further apart?
Cheers.
