To be honest, assuming a lack of pressing commitments on the return, I'd kind of enjoy a pit stop at ASI if there was any chance to escape the airport. Assuming the logistical hurdles were not insurmountable, I'd enjoy the heck out of it.
But that's just me and my bias toward just such sorts of adventures.
