Just a few points from me:

1. If you want to route JFK to MCO I think you need to connect again e.g. CLT? Unless using a JetBlue connection or something?

2. The new F suite with the door is quite nice although overhead space can be tight in that cabin.

3. Older and a bit shabbier but F on the A380 e.g. via MIA is more spacious and I personally sleep better.

4. Short flight LHR-JFK but the highest status route in the network so there may only be 2 window seats available (2A/K) and chance you wouldn’t get your meal choice. Less likely to be an issue on a 14F A380 via MIA.

5. The Chelsea lounge is nowhere near as good as FFD ex-MIA (which you could use in both directions). The one thing it has in common with FIRST dining at ORD is that both are windowless sh**holes.

I appreciate you are asking about ex-ORD but I’d be surprised if you couldn’t route LHR-MIA-MCO-MIA-LHR for the same cost and a more convenient connection. I recently booked 4 of us in F from EDI-LHR-MIA-MCO for next summer and didn’t hesitate to choose MIA to connect over ORD or PHL. There were no direct JFK-MCO connections available.
