Quite a lot of interesting questions up in the air.
Likely AS lounge. During the short time when United returned to JFK, it struck an arrangement with Alaska to grant lounge access for its business class ticket holders. Maybe a similar arrangement for SK. I would not rely on PP - the AS lounge is not large; it is often capacity limited for PP usage.

I am surprised SK didn't plan for T1 like NZ did, but the reason could be due to limited gates at T1 currently undergoing major terminal redo. My guesstimate, SK would eventually move to T1, as T7 is supposed to be going away soon. T7 may be a stop gap plan for now.

In what ways? Other than Delta, SK is the only nonstop offering between CPH and NYC.
