LAX to JFK
AA 10
A321T
9:15p-5:15a +1
June 5, 2017
Seat 3F

At T-35, I reluctantly headed left and headed out for the 10 minute walk back to Terminal 4 and Gate 46B.







AA's transcon service is all three class A321 with 5 rows of 1-1 seating in First. It's basically international business class seating on a domestic route.











Our "wonderful" FA tonight who decided that she wanted to close all the window shades before take-off because the sun will be streaming in when we get to New York... at 5am. LOL. I was apparently the only one that declined and risked being tossed off the plane by refusing and asking her "why would I close the shades before we've even taken off from LAX?"



Tonight's menu, for the record. Not that it mattered since I had just had dinner. I declined service and went to sleep just after take-off.



I slept pretty much all the way from LAX to JFK and arrived at the FL just after 5:30am and headed for the Flagship Lounge.





I had 3 hours before my JFK-YUL Eagle flight so I headed for the Flagship Lounge. decided to check out the Flagship First Dining room and have breakfast before showering.



The hostess counter is right inside the front door. And don't even try to get in without an invitation card from one of the front check-in AAngels.





Very attractive but small bar, lounge area and intimate dining room.













Very nice Breakfast menu with lots of nice looking options.



Excellent and attentive service with an offer of still or sparking bottled water.



I started with the Seasonal Fruit Kebabs with a nice honey and ginger lime sauce



And then the Eggs Benedict.



Which looked and tasted great!



What a great first impression, but at 5:30am the place was dead and I was to the only customer. Let's see how they do at a more normal traffic time when I'm back tomorrow afternoon. With another couple of hours before my JFK-YUL flight, I headed back out to The Flagship Lounge.





And much improved shower rooms compared to the old facilities.
