45 minutes to fly, but god help you if you check luggage, might as well be all day at that point.

Luggage doesn't matter.
Gotta leave the house 2 hours before the 2 hours before your flight. Then board, Then fly. Then disembark.

If flight is noon, you leave the house at 8 to be at the airport for 10. Then security theatre (remove your shoes, you're going to the LaNd Of TeH FrEe!!!).

If you're lucky, you're hailing a cab at JFK at 1:30pm.

That's your "45 minute flight". 6 hours, if you're lucky.

Don't forget that train stations tend to be in the city centre while the airport is 30-60 minutes outside in a field somewhere, so travel time is much reduced.

Add in 2 hours of traffic between JFK and anywhere you want to get to. Or try your luck with La Guardia!

I actually prefer La Guardia. When I was regularly staying in Brooklyn it was like a 30 minute cab ride from the airport.
