At JFK there are two check-in areas for BA flights - on the left is the premium check-in area for First and Club World passengers, and on the right is the general check-in area for all other passengers.

And there were other examples in the search results. It's reasonably well known that you can check in bags from around 9 am through to about 11 am or so, though it's not something I've personally done. It's also well known that AA can through check baggage for you too.

I did some more digging and I can checking in online 24 hours in advance and print my boarding pass. So I guess the question is how early will I be able to drop my bags off for my 11PM flight? Any insights would be appreciated.

It was suggested in Post #5 that AA will not check bags through where, as here, the connection time exceeds 12 hours. The OP can certainly try to get AA to through-check the baggage, but needs to have a Plan B if AA says no.
