And you'd get to use the JFK D1 lounge for a nice dinner/beverages prior to the flight if you want to get to the airport a bit early.
yes…it’s the exact pricing that leaves me torn! 1100 I’d do for sure. 1500 definitely not.
…and I read somewhere DL 767 J not quite as nice
…and yes 500 ow y fare so about 1800 J to upgrade (1300+500).
