How much time do I need to allow to get bags off 1 airlines at NYC JFK and check bags and check in another airlines from JFK to Europe? 2 hours enough or more?
Also, unless you've got Global Entry, I DO NOT recommend JFK as your point of re-entry to the US. Clearing customs/immigration there can be a goat rodeo.

I agree it's not for everyone, and probably not worth it if you're only saving a small amount of money, but sometimes it's too much of savings to pass up.
For instance, I'm flying to Tokyo in May. A good flight out of MSY (1 stop) is going to run you upwards of $1700. I got a round trip flight (nonstop) out of LAX for $700 and am using my Southwest miles for a nonstop MSY to LAX.
That $1,000 of savings is totally worth the risk and possible inconvenience IMO.

I have TSA prescreen but that’s only good for us flights right?
