Yes, there was a bag to check to that was first concern. I know the board time is not the final deadline but I figured there was not a whole lot of time after that so did not want to risk it.

I just looked it up. To my surprise there's a 27-minute gap between 11:38am and 12:05pm, between 12:38pm and 1:05pm, and between 1:38pm and 2:05pm. Obviously the OP was no longer in a rush so it didn't really matter, but in other circumstances it would make sense to jump on the E train rather than wait for the next LIRR train.

Updated question for similar transfer on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. United domestic arriving EWR 3 PM, United partner international departure JFK in Business just after 7 PM, all on one United award ticket. Both pax have Global Entry. We'd take a car service. How advisable is this?
Would United be responsible to put us on a different flight and still in Business if we missed flight due to traffic?

You'll probably be fine, with an hour in the lounge. Technically UA is responsible for rebooking but no guarantees it is the immediate next flight of that J space is available.

Thank you sbm12. Our aim would be to have only carryon which should improve our chances. Clearly, I don't want to cash in a whack of miles for J only to be stuck in Economy. (I've seen that happen with paid tickets and United cancelling a flight.)

A little late, but this would have totally been makeable. Even if you needed an hour to leave EWR which isn't crazy because UA is slow with bags at EWR, you could VERY safely underwrite two hours to JFK, even by road (probably could underwrite a drop less by mass transit, but not much), and you'd be at JFK T-60, which is fine for Turkish business. Would have saved you a change fee. Oh well.
Also should be noted that, if it wasn't already done, this was likely bookable on a single ticket which would've alleviated any concerns on misconnection.

Global entry is for int'l arrivals into the US. That said, GE means you have TSA Precheck which you'll need.
