Hi..
I'm arriving at JFK on 7/23 around 9pm at T1(KE)... and have a flight to catch at T5 on the next day at 6:30am (B6).. After I pass customs, i plan to go to T4's The Lounge and stay there until they close at 1:30am then either stay at T4 until 4am-ish then go to T5 or go straight to T5 after the lounge closes..

T1->immigration->get my checked bag->customs->Airtrain to T4->out the secured area->the lounge->train to T5? -> chk my bag at B6 desk -> pass the secured area to the gate

am i right?

what do u think? any other ideas? checking into a nearby hotel could be an option but it would only allow me a couple hrs of actual sleep...

thx, the specialist

Hi!
I have an economy class ticket from JFK on Sept 20 to Vienna. Is it possible to change the class online, or I have to come to the airport. By the way, I'll be in some other airports, not JFK, at the end of August, can I change the class somewhere else, except JFK?
Thank you.
