The ride from JFK to Saratoga isn't horrible if you can't do Albany. But you HAVE to pick your times.
Heading up your best window is Friday between before 7AM or 10AM - Noon. Saturday early AM (before 8:30AM is also usually smooth sailing.
Coming back down is a problem as mentioned above. I have always had the best luck leaving there Monday 7 or 8 AM, hitting the bridges after morning rush.
You can also check Newburg Airport in Westchester. That will put you closer than JFK and traffic would be a bit easier. Not sure who flys there though.
Damn, I wish it was August...
