Jet Blue Transfer at JFK question
Question from the ignorant...I am considering booking a self-transfer flight on JetBlue from Worcester, MA (ORH) to Grenada (through JFK) on February 13, 2020. The first leg leaves ORH at 6:00a and lands at JFK at 7:00a. The next flight leaves JFK at 8:25a. The gates for the flights now are 11 and 15, but as I understand it, I would have to wait at baggage claim, check-in for the 8:25a flight to check the bags again, and then go through security for the second flight.
Question is...assuming the first flight lands on time, is this enough time to make the second flight time? I see that the minimum time stated time for checking bags prior to an international flight is 60 mins. Does not seem possible to get the bags from the ORH flight and check them for the Grenada flight in 25 minutes. Anyone have any thoughts? Is it at all possible?
Other option is to only bring carry-ons, but would the gate agents at the international flight gate allow us to check in there, avoiding security?
Appreciate your thoughts/expertise.
