I'd say yes, especially with Global entry and airline status for priority luggage.

Landing at Terminal 4 yes. Terminal 8 maybe.. Terminal 7 maybe, Terminal 1 probably not. If your plane holds for a gate then good luck. No one knows this better than I on here. I did market research on this for almost a year at JFK. I am SME on this.

What time, day of the week, are you landing and what airline?

defnintely

It depends your passport, terminal and time of arrival.

JFK sucks, I hate JFK, always go to LaGuardia if you have the option. If you are doing customs there … you may be cutting it close…
