I agree with you. The JFK game of Tetris makes a whole lot of sense this way. I actually didn't know about the two little wings close to the road! But to me the build out of T8 makes a huge amount of sense at this stage. Given how much BA value JFK they can build their own lounges, check-in areas with private wing, etc. and almost run the gates from the right hand of 16 as their own. Co-locating with your JBA plus other oneworld partners makes too much sense for obvious reasons.

I'm flying AA Business class LAX-JFK (overnight arr 7.00am) [into T8]. I then fly later that day (8pm) with BA JFX-LHR (assume T7) again in Business. [I also have BA Silver/OWE status]
I would really like to do a Manhattan run (just because I can, as I have been to NYC a few times. So I have two questions
1. Can I get a shower? Can I get into the FL lounge on arrival (given I have an international same day connection business flight)?
2, What happens to my checked in bags? Will they be checked straight through to LHR ?
Thanks all
1) Yes. Yes.
2) They will be checked through to LHR, assuming you are on the same ticket. At LAX you might be asked if you want to short check them, something you could reasonably request with a 12hr stop
