This time, I have a 4hr.wait at JFK. I do not wish to take chances on missing the overseas flight. So I will see any gate agent

Problem with this: the gate agents don't show up until a little bit before the flight is scheduled to leave (1 hr in case of domestic flights - little longer for international). You'd be well advised to go to the international check-in counter and try to get a good seat there.
