5 Hours in JFK - TWA Hotel drinks?
Next month, we'll be returning from a cruise at Red Hook, Brooklyn. Our flight home isn't until 4 PM. (SFO Transcon, Flagship Business). Because we'll be clearing customs in Boston before NY arrival, it's likely that we'll be cleared quickly and will likely be arriving at JFK 10-11 AM. So it's likely that we'll have 4+ hours to wait until we can board. (We visit NY often and my husband has mobility problems, so we'll stay at the airport rather than check out Brooklyn or Manhattan)
- I've been following the TWA Hotel for a couple of years and would love to see it and perhaps have a drink in the sunken lounge. How accessible is it from the remainder of JFK, and T8 in particular? Does the AirTrain stop nearby? A complicating factor is that my husband has difficulty walking distances and we use wheelchair assistance at the airport.
- Assuming that all things being equal, it's better not to have to go through security twice, might it be easier to arrive at the hotel, leave the bags with the bellman, and after a stop at the sunken lounge, move to T8?
- From their website, I see that they take reservations for the lounge. Are they likely to be needed on a Sunday mid-day?
- Is there a time limit in the Flagship Lounge in T8?
