You could even take your luggage to the TWA hotel and get a drink or snack, either with luggage or after leaving it with a bell person. Unfortunately the top deck bar and pool seem to be restricted to hotel guests and the Connie lounge is closed.
The 4 hour blocks dont cover evening time frames. They have a 12 hour day use and a 6 hour day use but they both are 8-8 and 11am-6pm, respectively. At least online, walk-ups may be different.
Plus, I live in the city, If I wanted to leave the airport id use that $150 to do the hour drive each-way to manhattan. Its just not worth it to me, Id rather wait in the lounge. Minimal logistics and no cost.
