When transferring between airports in New York, you should also take into account the time spent in customs after landing. If you fly from outside of the United States to one of the airports you will need to pass through customs. This can sometimes take a long time so take about an hour and half to two hours into account. Fortunately this means spending less time waiting for your luggage.
If you are traveling within the United States on a domestic flight to New York then you need not pass through customs but you do need to pick up your luggage. Take about an hour into account for this.
