Kennedy is the most convenient airport, mostly because it is most accessible by public transit. The new AirTrain system connects directly with three different subway lines and the Long Island Railroad, all of which can take you quickly and easily to Brooklyn. By LIRR, it's 15 - 20 minutes to Brooklyn, and it won't be much more than half an hour by subway.
The second-best option is Newark (EWR), which is close to Manhattan and has fairly good conenctions via NJ Transit. You'll need to make multiple connectiosn to get to Brooklyn, though.
LaGuardia is both difficult to get to and prone to delays. It is, however often the cheapest of New York's airports to get to.

JFK is the right airport.
As the crow flies it's about 9 miles from the terminals at JFK to the Kings County [bklyn] / Queens County line
I have no idea what that remark of 45 minutes to an hour and a half is about. Maybe under the worst possible conditions going to the most inaccessible spot in Brooklyn at the worst time of day . Realistically ? No.
The fastest and cheapest way around any part of NYC is by using the trains : the subways, the Long Island Rail Road or the Air Train from JFK to the Jamaica Station of the LIRR and from there you can get anywhere including Flatbush Avenue BKLYN
Where do you need to be in Brooklyn ?
Additional details.
John F , If you are going from Newark [ EWR] to Brooklyn you would go south on 95 , cross The Goethals Bridge onto Staten Island the over the Verrazano Bridge and into Brooklyn
Alternately if you were driving into downtown Bklyn from EWR after 10:30 AM and before 2:30 PM you would go through Jersey City, into the Holland Tunnel , Across Canal street and into Brooklyn using the Manhattan Bridge.
The GW is not in the picture ,not even from a commercial vehicle standpoint.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (commonly referred to as JFK or Kennedy) is definitely the closest to Brooklyn. I also like Kennedy because all of the times that I've been there, everything has gone very smoothly and quickly, much more so than La Guardia.

Probably the Newark, N.J. airport. All you have to do is get on Interstate 95 and drive across the Washington Bridge. Also there is Laguardia that is located in New York City. It is a matter of choice. The Kennedy Airport is on Long Island and could be a tedious ride.

Fly into J.F.K. it's the bigggest around. From there, it will take you about 45 minutes to 1-1/2 hours to get into Brooklyn depending on when you go and how.
If you rent a car and drive in, be forewarned that parking is at a premium in New York. It is extremely difficult to find a parking place on public streets during the day. In the city, you will probably have to use a parking garage and pay for that.
Taxis are the easiest way to get around town.

La Guardia or JFK. JFK might be a more expensive flight, but it is easier to get to by train, but faster to take a cab to LaGuardia. No subways go to LaGuardia.
