We have the same option at the Towers but we've always been in the habit of flying home on AA and they used to have a far more liberal baggage check policy, and for all I know, they still may. As long as their early morning flight (8am?) was all cleared they would accept bags for later flights, but because they've eliminated their n/s to JFK for some time frames, we now find ourselves going home on JB more and more. A year ago April past, not knowing this, we tried to checked in around 11 ish and as they completed the paperwork we started putting our bags on the conveyor and they told us we couldn't check our bags until 12:30 for our 2ish flight. This was on a busy Saturday and they cited space constraints as their reason. But they did say this could vary by day of the week and time of year but the earliest was two hours before departure. Based on our past experiences with AA it sounded a little crazy to us but it is what it is, whatever that is. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
