Pickup time for Business Class in NYC?
I'm flying Emirates Business JFK-DXB in October, departing at 11 PM. When I signed up for a chauffeur pickup, the shortest option was to arrive 3 hours before flight. In the evening, a car to JFK from my house is about 45 minutes. If I have preCheck and don't feel the need to go to the Lounge, how early do I have to get there to check luggage?

Generally you will receive a call to confirm the chauffeur pick-up time and address and can at that point request a later pick-up, though I'm sure they'll be hesitant to go under 2h30m for your drive time, 2h might be a push. You could try request 20:45.

Generally check-in closes 60 minutes prior to departure, I assume this is the same in the USA (I see no reason why not, unlike flights departing TO the USA which may have additional security and document checks thus requiring a greater time limit).
