I was supposed to be on QR from JFK to DOH, but they have moved me over to AA.
Will AA allow me to check in many hours early, and offload my baggage? The flight is at 0:55. There must be AA flights the whole day long, but I don’t know whether they’ll let me check in 8 or 12 hours early.
The idea would be to bug off into Manhattan for a bit and actually do something fun and/or interesting, rather than sitting an airport all day.
