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)

If you're already at a hotel on the UWS, just stay there. I can't recommend any hotel near Penn. Too many fleabags. With a 9 hour wait, if you leave at 6am, you will have PLENTY of time.
