Are you volunteering?
BTW, this summer I used hotel ice machines without fear to cool wine bottles, but I didn't put any ice into drinks. An ice machine is almost as contactless as possible in that you can push the lever with your elbow (or of course wash your hands afterward).
I'm almost surprised that DL doesn't yet have prepackaged ice for us or wrapped glasses that already contain some cubes.

I have been asking different vendors for sealed cups of ice at airports but it tends to melt fairly quickly inflight.

I don't believe this is necessarily true. That applies if you connected in a designated state, not if you are from a designated state. I believe that you must say that you are quaranting for your entire stay, even though your stay is rather short . At least I think this is how it is to be perceived. Anyone who has more advice, please help.
Assuming that I can figure out the whole quarantine thing, I will be arriving on Saturday morning from SFO on JetBlue 1616 from SFO. I plan to visit the TWA Hotel lobby, before spending time at the Centurion Lounge. I would love to get into the SkyClub before the flight if someone could guest me in. I will be in 48J, and I will be connecting to Delta 3560 to SJC after the flight.

If anyone is still interested, DL is now selling one D1 seat (presumably at a FULL J fare) for $2508.10 (refundable) as well as two more seats in coach for $368.10 in K class (nonrefundable).
If you're hoping for an upgrade, look for a FCM offer and grab it fast if it appears. On Monday, the buy-up from coach to D1 was offered for $799-$899 when three seats became available.

anyone know if JFK has any card-stock boarding pass printers still in use, landside or gate-side? I know they're becoming relics (apparently like the 777! <ducks>
.
Will be on an inbound connection that morning & spending most of it in the Amex Lounge followed by SkyClub, fattening up for the transcon like a hibernating bear.

Ironically, have never flown on the DL 777.
I'll try to make the final CR2 retirement in 2023, considering I've had 189 (and growing) segments on them on NW/DL since 2003.
I def won't miss the final 757 flight. That one will be insane when it goes off.

This is the one I want to be on more than anything else. I've flown more 757s than any other aircraft by a large margin and I will go to lengthy measures to be on the retirement flight.

first in, last out it seems. Given the fanfare with which N701DN was received, I’d surmise this must be intentional for it to operate the last revenue flight.

I switched to 7B right before posting about D1 availability. It's still intact.
