Quick question for the NYC crowd

[trinityvixen]

I'm heading out to Reno for my brother's "graduation" (he has completed his fellowship and is getting a party or something), and I need to get to JFK. I was planning on taking the A down to the AirTran, like I've done before.

But every time I went to any site to map out the time it would take (MTA Trip Planner, Google, etc.) they keep wanting me to transfer to the E and go to Jamaica Station instead. Is there really any goddamned difference in time? Why do they keep sending me that way if there isn't?

Yeah, it was being suggested. I'm not really in any hurry, so I'll save the $6 to spend on Diet Pepsis in the airport or whatever.
