Was ignored at CX thread so I'll write here. Need to get ball rolling on oneWorld account, due to fact that I am stateside and fly a lot of NW. Only mileage coming from Hotels so far. Booked CX831 RT guaranteed J seat (plan to upgrade to F) JFK-HKG. Sounds grueling indeed. I do not want stops anywhere, just need to get to HKG. General questions though...

1- I am based out of BWI, what would be the fastest way within the oneWorld network EXCLUDING American Eagle? Had a bad experience with them, don't really feel like taking them again. Will consider coming out of IAD and DCA

2- If there is no fastest way w/in oneWorld, would driving be the better alternative?

3- What lounges within oneWorld other than CX can I access in JFK (assuming I do not get upgrade to F AND on the basis that I am oneWorld Sapphire?).

4- How is the check-in or transfer desk for CX at JFK? Only team being there was once back in early 90s on BA.

5- How many meals are served on this flight?

Thanks for your help.
