There aren't many other choices, based on what I want to do there, so, I'm still trying to figure it out before I call, so I can be armed with options, as always.

So 3 pm will be the latest TATL DL/KLM departure during the summer high season? This is a change I do not like. For me, ideal would around 7 pm, late enough to use my hotel's 4 pm checkout privilege and get to the airport without worry, but I realize that isn't going to happen because it would arrive into the USA to late for most connections after immigration and customs.
