JFK super busy -- had to divert to long island (KISP)

Flight map KPVD-KJFK (diverted to KISP)

Handed off to different approach frequencies 4 times, declared a fuel emergency because of unexpected route length.

Expert server, UPS 1295 Heavy. Flight time: 1hr 12min

Probably because it was a shorter nearby flight.

On Expert Server, controllers usually divert local or nearby traffic first when busy airports get overloaded
