Lounge access: yes, IF you have a crown room membership, plus you'll have to show your BP. If you don't have a membership, you will have lounge access on the return leg due to the J ticket.
Drinks are free on NW (good bennie vs. CO, who make you pay
). I am not sure about the current status of J seats on 744s, but they
are being converted to the new A330-style WBC pods.
FlyerTalk is such an amazing resource, that if you post your itinerary, someone here will be able to figure out which plane it's scheduled to be, and then look it up to see if it's been converted. Well, maybe, plus a/c are being switched around all the time.
Y seats on the 744 are Y seats. Hope for an empty flight.
