- Lounge access at SFO worked like you'd expect.
- We didn't try at JFK.
We then flew JFK-LAX-SEA in p.s. NC and domestic NF.
- Lounge access at JFK worked like you'd expect. There appeared to be two actual statues of dragons outside the IFL entrance. Love it.
- The LAX lounge agent had an awesome, carefully worded to maximize politeness, three-sentence explanation why she appreciated our business, but the p.s. C lounge access is for departures, not arrivals, and would we like to buy a club membership?
officially, the rules for p.s. C/F access is departure only prior to the p.s. flight. Every now and then, an agent will bend the rule and allow it for arrivals, mostly at JFK where the number of arriving C/F pax that actually want to use the lounge is so insignificant that it doesn't hurt to let them in.
so when p.s. goes 2 class, is it right to presume the IFL will be shut down and the space used to make a larger UC?
