Here are a few more pics. Specifically, one from the lounge prior to boarding. The suiter service was quite nice as you just hung your suit bag in the rolling closet in the lounge and then it was waiting at the top of the jetbridge upon landing. The flight that these pics were taken on wasn't particularly crowded despite the full rows forward. Maybe 35 pax altogether. There was nobody seated in the rear section. Landing on an international flight at JFK ~9am meant C&I was only there for us so from door open to the empty pickup area was 5-10 minutes max. There, a pack of 777 black cars was waiting for the passengers. Great scene.

Other pics are out the window landing 31R at JFK. That's the west end of Long Beach and the beaches of EAB and Atlantic Beach. The approach path crosses over Lawrence, the golf course of Rockaway Hunt Club and Inwood. Growing up at Rockaway and Lawrence Beach Club you could almost set your watch to when the plane flew over and then again when it took off in the afternoon flight (usually on R22).
