One of the worst things about the fare class alignment is that SWUs for this route became less valuable ... K fares used to be in the $600 RT range, now they're up to $800 (L fares are the new K fares).

Its too bad that almost nobody is noticing this, or seems to care. This is another big hit against SWUs and a stealth devaluation.

thanks DLGal... I've got a flight out of T4 on June 8th. If I didn't want to wait that long to see the new terminal and sky terrace, what domestic routes can I fly that will pretty much guarantee a flight out of T4. Thanks again.

JFK-LAX/SFO/SEA are the only domestic flights guaranteed to leave out of T4.

Any chance that the premium transcons might start out of T4 before the grand opening date? I have a SFO flight on the 17th of may.

my guess is no.

To add, will the Oasis lounge in T4 be moved, or will it be closed?

It's already been moved, in the sense that the lounge is now accessible air-side behind the new TSA checkpoints.

To my knowledge, Delta hasn't made any announcement about The Oasis, but I wouldn't expect Delta flyers to retain access once the new SkyClub in T4 opens.

More important that all this - how are we doing on the security lines at T4 in the interim??

My sister (GM) flew out of T4 this past Monday and said SP check in and security were both open.
