yes taxis are costly but a trip from JFK to times square would rougly cost $50...if you split that it's not as crazy. I don't know, that's just me...I feel like any time I have luggage and am tired from travelling I would just rather splurge for the taxi and then take the subway/bus the remainder of the trip.

Yes, it is very possible. Just use the long term parking free shuttle to the JKF Howard Beach MTA subway station. From there the A train local and express lines travel directly to Manhattan for $2 no transfer required. As for the Luggage, it shouldn't be too much of an issue, everyone uses the subway from the airport to the city.

If you've got luggage, the best bet is NY Airport Service bus (nyairportservice.com). Bus one way to midtown Manhattan Port Authority (42ndSt/8th Ave) is one block from Times Square. You can purchase tickets online and print your tickets at home as well. One way $12 Roundtrip is $21. Airtrain doesn't run as frequently and if you've got luggage, you probably don't want to drag it up and down subway stairs.
Only condition is that the bus does not run much after 11 pm.
Check the website for further details.
24 hour metrocard is 24 hours from the first use.

It would be a less stressful trip if you took the AirTran to Jamica-the take the LIRR to Penn. From there a short walk or cab to Times Square. Taking suitcases on the subway is no fun and sometimes people on the subway are not accommodating

There is an express bus from JFK to the Port Authority higher fee. Easier commute and the driver will take you bags and place in the cargo bin.
