Am I able to store my luggage at the airport (assuming there's a storage facility) and access lounges with my electronic boarding pass to wait for the check in counter to open? Would I get into trouble going through custom or security again if I'm to go back out and check in, bag drop and reenter? Your help is highly appreciated.
I'm not aware of any bag storage at the airport itself. I'd recommend getting a room at the Hilton at the airport so you can have a private space to yourself. Otherwise no issue going through security multiple times before your flight, you just might have to explain why.
