A Delta Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N114DN performing flight DL-2309 from Boston,MA to Atlanta,GA (USA) with 197 people on board, was enroute at FL360 about 40nm west of New York when the crew declared emergency reporting a possible lavatory fire stating they had received a lavatory smoke indication, the flight attendants couldn't figure out what caused the indication, there was no smoke or odour, as a precaution they wanted to divert to JFK. Another crew chimed in stating whenever this has happened to them in the past, somebody had been vaping in the lavatory. The aircraft landed safely on JFK's runway 31L about 20 minutes after leaving FL360.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2 hours, then continued the flight and reached Atlanta with a delay of about 2:20 hours.
