6:00ish should be good. It won't leave one time anyway. Hooray for JFK!

Well, you'll be boarding at 6:45, you have to get to your gate and go through security, so I would say about 5:30-6, NO LATER than 6:00. If you're leaving Monday morning, there will probably be an delay due to heavy air traffic.

I would get there by 5:30 at the latest. You never know what is going to be happening at the airport with the lines and all.

I would be at the airport at 5:45, but 6:00 would be okay, but since JFK is so congested, you may want to leave a little earlier.

Well, since you are flying JetBlue Airways, on flight 117, you should check in online. That way you can arrive at the airport for 0630. Since JetBlue openend their new Terminal 5, the whole process of getting to your gate is much faster. If you don't check in online, then arrive no later than 0615. The process is really fast now since they moved from Terminal 6. You'll be flying on an Airbus A320

Plan to be walking into the airport by 2 full hours before your flight is scheduled to depart. If it was a smaller airport in a less urban area and you had only carry-on baggage you could to shave that to 90 minutes - but you are asking about JFK and trying to get there at rush hour, Do not follow the advice of the person who said to check-in online and get to the airport 45 minutes before your flight. That is a recipe for missing your flight.
