Thanks for the info.
Yes, the 3:40 flight is on AA. For whatever reason, Vayama will ticket me on an AA/BW itinerary, even if AA won't (but it seems I can't get an itinerary with those airlines and LI).
Do you think 2 hours is cutting it too close on the return to clear customs and re-checkin with AA? Or are you suggesting that we could make it but only if we did OLCI and no checked luggage?
These days I almost prefer to check-- don't have to worry about fitting things in luggage, or fitting the luggage in overhead space, especially if there is no charge for checking. On the other hand, it's a beach vacation so we could probably get by with just carry-ons (might have to get an extra kindle though
).
