If I am in F on my way to Australia I fully expect to have access to the IFL and as such expect that they will keep the JFK IFL.
I just checked the timetable and UA 890/891 serve NRT direct from JFK (via LAX) too. Point being, UA still has direct international service ex JFK, just not non-stop.
Hey, I certainly hope the lounge stays. But remembers, there are lots of cities with direct international service. Examples"
BOS-NRT #853
EWR-NRT #881
PDX-LHR #928
I would love all these to have IFL's! But I doubt they will be built. I remember when UA dropped the BOS-LHR flights, they also closed the small IFL.
Seeing that JFK's lounge is within the RCC, I do hope they keep it.
