Thing is, if we miss the flight it's going to be a 9hr wait for the next one... with a 3 month old in tow...

We will have bags to check, but the BA premium zone should help ease things along.

I'm starting to wonder if it'd be better to stay somewhere close to the station so we can take the LIRR. Is the interchange from LIRR to AirTrain easier than the switch from the subway (which I did a couple of months back...)

(If anyone thinks this is what we should do, then please include recommendations of hotels near Penn Station)
