We are flying to Seattle from JFK on July 3 for the Encore cruise to Alaska. Our flight from JFK is at 7;15 am, but the flight back on July 10 from Seattle to JFK is at 9:35 pm. So we are trying to figure out what to do for about 8 hours. Considering getting a hotel room to hang out until the flight home. Flights are very expensive, so you get what you get when you pay $199 per person, instead of $1000 per person! BTW the airline is Alaska Air.
