What time would you leave Times Square if you want to go by cab or shuttle bus to miss the Fri night rush hour traffic to JFK?

Any ideas on costs?

Thanks in advance!

You would probably want to leave at 4PM or so. I simply don't fathom why you would want to do that to yourself, though...sitting in traffic in Queens, crawling your way towards JFK, is awful. Even with the large suitcase...just walk a block over to the E at Port Authority and ride it out to Jamaica to the AirTrain.
