Im arriving on Oct 27 at 0600 to JFK from EZE and have a 6 hour layover until I catch the 1200 UA801 to NRT. Would anybody like to join me for a drink?

I will be camping out at the UA International First Class lounge. What are the rules regarding invitation of guests to these lounges? I was thinking of just trying to sweet-talk a guest or two into the lounge, else we can just meet up and have a drink somewhere else.

OK, so it looks like I cant have any guests at the 1st lounge... so I will buy drinks at the RCC (is there one?) or somewhere else...

Nobody at JFK on the 27th ???

I believe that if someone is not departing on a flight from Terminal 7 (the terminal you'll be using), security will give them a hard time (i.e. not allow them to go through). The RCC is after the security check-point.

I'd love to meet you, but I'm busy in the morning. Maybe on the return.

Welcome to NY.

Gaucho, you clearly have TOO many miles in your account this year! Inexcuseable behaviour.

Any other red blooded FT'er would get re-routed on your obvious C of F fully changeable paid ticket EZE-JFK-ORD-IAD-JFK or whatever to kill the time, and make another 10,000 extra points or whatever with all the 400% UA bonuses in place then for high tiers like yourself. Drink on the planes.

At one time, security at JFK terminal 7 checked boarding passes assiduously prior to passing through the checkpoint. However, this requirement has been relaxed for over a year, a little before the RCC itself wound up on the gate side of security. I usually find myself in this terminal every few weeks and have NEVER been asked for my boarding pass since the renovation was complete. Hence, I would be very surprised if guests encountered any problems.

Drink options at the terminal 7 RCC may be few and far between in the morning. The bar tender usually doesn't show up until 3:00ish although there may be some other options available to you earlier; I am just not sure when. If it doesn't work out and you are looking to kill some time, you can exit the club, head over to the gate 11 area and then hop on the van that shuttles between terminals 6 and 7 every 10 minutes or so. Once there, you can check out the terminal 6 RCC; I believe the bar tender is on duty all day and Catman speaks rather highly of him. When you're all done; just hop back on the van and pop back into the terminal 7 RCC.

Although I cannot speak about official policy, I have found most of the JFK RCC staff to be very accommodating so it cannot hurt to ask about first class lounge access for a guest. Especially if my GA Barbara Turner is on duty, it MAY help to mention my name and how we've been buddies for so many years .

I'd love to meet with you but I'll be at the terminal 7 RCC on 10/31, 11/7, 11/11 and 11/15. Are you sure you can't wait?

Thanks for all the information. I dont have to be in the lounge all day, so if anybody has some time to kill elsewhere at JFK, then Im open to suggestions.

Catman

Gaucho: could not come because:

1. I only go to JFK if I really really have to.

2. It was during working hours.

Sorry. But in Terminal 6, the bartenders at the RCC there are wonderful. Plural:

Claude the bartender with the Beret
Jenny from Long Island/QUeens who always have a great story to tell.

And they serve up some great Sam Adams. They have the regular and the seasonal brews there.

But I have more fun at the JFK RCC in Terminal 7 with partymeister Larry U in charge!

Enjoy your trip!

Gaucho100K

Thanks for the tips, Catman. With about 6 hours to kill, maybe I will grab a drink in T6 and T7... Too bad you can't make it.

What about the DUS gathering, will u be there ??

Thanks again,

Sorry but it's a bad day for me too! Next time!

Catman

Gaucho, I will NOT make DUS because there's a personal trip I must take that weekend. So have fun for me and maybe I'll meet you someday soon -- if NOT at my Catman DO TROIS>

Gaucho100K

Im still not sure about the DO TROIS event... Im juggling to make the DUS (confirmed) and I want to make it to Rudi's Whistler 1 day skiing trip, but I will see... would love to make that one too.
