A good book and a coffee - and that night's episode of The Traitors - made the time pass very quickly.

It's not something I'd choose to do more than very occasionally, and in this case it was made necessary by the itinerary (an earlier arrival time in ARN would have added £200 to the fare), but it's something to bear in mind next time I see a good deal with brutal connections.
That's encouraging. In May I have a 2235 arrival (say 2330 earliest by the time I escape immigration?) and an 0525 departure from BOS, so we'll see how my own body copes. AA lounge opens at 0400 so just time for a quick shower, I hope.

In June my departure is not until 10:30 so, tbh, I'm hoping for an AA sched change...
