And I certainly agree that JFK T8, along with SFO T2, are the best big airports in the USA. However there are 3 things that stop me from booking this service:
1) The lack of consistency on the hard product, especially if there is an equipment change, the alternative is quite dire. With BA that is hardly ever an issue.
2) AA's staff / soft product is not as good as BA at its best (yes, there is consistency issue there I admit).
3) CWLCY.
It does require some adjustment in the lumbar support. However I find if you ask for an extra duvet to use as a mattress pad - which BA does not offer.p, then is greatly enhance the sleep experience.
I think no be a fair comparison u should measure it on the 777 which BA is implementing on most JFK ewr flights,
At the moment I will still choose BA on this route as AA can not guarantee on all flights yet. However once they r fully converted it makes BA harder to justify is cost is the same.
