Coming back, JFK has better BA facilities from Newark (Concorde Room at JFK for F pax, I think) so I would go from there.
I am about to book my first First to NYC (at a nice euro rate from TFS

) and note the comments here preferring the 747 .... BUT ... when I look at seat guru, the first cabin on the 777 seems so much more spacious.
I´m not too worried about PJ´s or views, but do like some room to move around - am I being fooled here by the seat plans?
