i would appreciate any idea you could share. thank you.

Oh, I was not able to get to the hub lounges, but instead crawled myself on benches at Gate 9, since we arrived as early as 4:55am and next flight would still be by 10:50. It was warm in there and I was able to have a nap with my legs and my back flat on the row of benches.

Thanks anyway for the advice you gave.
