I'm technically working Monday so that will take up most of my time assuming I can find a lounge or quiet area.
I support a trip to Flushing!

Upon check in I was given a $25 voucher due to the lounge now being closed . He said depends on what it prints out on BP. Sometimes AI lounge but if given out too many that day then a voucher
mind you I was paid full fare Biz and Star Gold
That is not a good alternate I feel a whole $25
I did book the cook filet and it was very marginal at best. I can’t believe I am about to say this but had better meals on AA and DL transcon the last few months (I fly lax-Jfk monthly and actually think food and service was better in some cases)
The breakfast “lunch” is certainly a very odd choice at 830am local and I tried to sleep through it but the lights all went on and the FA were making a lot of noise.
it was definitely a bucket list thing and glad I tore it but really the only positive thing to say is the seat was comfortable and TV screen nice and big that’s about all I can say is positive
hope they sort out the lounge situation soon
I agree with most of what you say (though I went in August when I think they were still doing Wingtips, but I was still able to get into the VS CH on my Amex Platinum at that point), although I disagree on seat comfort. Didn't really love it. Hated having to angle my legs in relaxation position. I guess bulkhead center seats don't have this problem but I like a window. And I suppose if you close your eyes in lie-flat mode you can't really tell you're at an angle. And the lack of air vents and warm cabin made it rather difficult for me to sleep. Definitely agree on the weird pre-arrival meal!. Didn't eat dinner ex-JFK. But I thought the catering on the return from FRA was pretty good.
