I have to decide if the jetblue MINT deal is better. Thing is, the whole Delta JFK experience tilts my decision making towards DL's K fares. I absolutely love the new sky terrace in T4. I usually get to the AP several hours ahead of time and spend just about all of it on the terrace, enjoying the drink, food and the planes landing and taking off. Call me old school but I absolutely get a huge thrill out of that...it relaxes me.
I go to Wingtips and spend the time eating decent food and drinking decent drinks, and watching planes landing and taking off, and generally pop into the Skyclub for a shower. I miscalculated last time and Skyclub showers were full and I didn't have enough time. I was telling this to a friend, saying Wingtips has OK showers and Skyclub has great showers - she said, what's wrong with an OK shower. A fair point.
