JFK Terminal 5: Arrival - baggage claim, how long does it take?
We're flying into JFK Terminal 5 in May with Aer Lingus (business class) from Dublin.
We will have done the The US Preclearance thing at Dublin Airport so that when we arrive at JFK Terminal 5 we'll be treated as domestic arrivals, avoid immigration queues etc and just be able to pick up our bags and go.
My question is: in people's experience, at JFK Terminal 5, how long from a plane's arrival at the gate does it take for the baggage to arrive at the baggage claim?
Look forward to your answers.

You can never be certain, but in my many experiences in J to JFK its usually very quick, (10 mins). It takes about 5 mins to walk from gate to baggage claim, and ive never waited more than 5-10 mins for the bag to come out
