Short daytime LHR-JFK flight in PE is fine. I’d keep my powder dry for more demanding times and have more folding green to spend in NYC. $1,800 can get some good memories.

OP is cheaply upgrading the overnight (JFK-LHR). The expensive upgrade is the daytime one (LHR-JFK).

Right you are, I totally read the trip this morning as JFK-LHR-JFK, now I see it is LHR-JFK-LHR.

Those now expire Jan, not Feb.
