I spend large sections of my life in Y (admittedly with status), I guess my advice would be to try and get out of it. Ask at the airport if they are selling any upgrades and also check ahead of time to see if there is avios availability in W. That said, LHR-JFK isn’t a long hop and really it isn’t too terrible, BA have raised their game a bit in recent times after the dark days of a few years ago. The food is pretty good, you get a mid flight ice cream, the pre arrival snack is passable. Chances are on NYLON you will get an aircraft with good IFE and possibly some Wi-fi.

If you can’t upgrade my advice would be to Invest in some Bose QC35s, block out the world and enjoy he free booze.
