I do love the original idea here, alas with a party of 3 it probably isn't a viable plan I feel!
I am not exactly going to be blown away by the A321T in F I agree - or the flagship lounge, however on this trip since I made the move to pay real $$$ for first over business it grates to not get the class paid for, and I will of course earn many more miles & tier points (for my BA FFP) by doing that. I've been on the transcontinental before in business.
I've realised I have an alternative, to change the route a bit. JFK-SFO is sold out, but JFK-SAN, or BOS-LAX both appear to have space. Will try that tomorrow when I have the time and energy (appreciating, no good lounge, but should be able to get the flight)
