Am I right in thinking that:
- First check-in area is finished
- Galleries First is in progress
- Galleries Club hasn't started
- Terminal Improvements haven't started
I'm going to be going back and forth regularly between now and June, so I'm wondering whether to book with BA or AA in order to avoid disruption and for general lounge experience. It sounds like AA and the flagship lounge are the better option at the moment.
I believe you are pretty much spot on.
With the new F lounge at T8 and AA all aisle access it may well be better with them. However I can see BA being incredibly better next year and I’m excited about this. As potentially we will have: A new lounge/Terminal interior at JFK. We have the new catering and bedding already. A new Club world seat. (Wow!)
Then eventually new LHR Lounges and hopefully arrivals lounge. (these are very long term 2-5 yrs off!!)
Anything can happen between now and then so take this all with a pinch of salt.
So yes AA for now.
