Right now, 9pm on a weekday night, no weather impacts, time/distance to employee lots from my house that's about 12 DME to LENDY on the LENDY arrival. (About 5 miles to I-287 at the 80/287 interchange)
EWR 32 Miles / 40 minutes
LGA 45 miles / 54 minutes
JFK 56 miles / 1:08
But a "get here at SC+2:00" at 0600 on a typical day (told google "leave at 0600"
JFK becomes 2:10
LGA becomes 1:40
EWR becomes 50 minutes
Just check your schedule at whatever you think is a reasoable time to report -2 hours. If JFK is 3, check 1 hour prior. You will still have the promptly avaiable time frame and only an hour of exposure to <2:00 reports. I've called them enroute and said traffic isn't what I predicted but I'll get there ASAP while not committing to a time. That's when you ask for short term parking and show up when you safely can. You are not required by the PWA to be proficient in the use of a crystal ball or tarot cards. But a magic eight ball is a necessity. Sign are pointing to outlook not so good, try again later.
