MIA Question.

Flying out of terminal E, can I access terminal D without going through security again?
While whoever knows this info is at it, I'll be flying out of terminal c....

Stupid question, but what's the point of these lounges? Say I'm waiting around with my family for 30-45 minutes prior to boarding the plane what do I get out of the lounge? 
In that case, not much. but it feels real nice to fly in, shower off, and go on your way.
As others have said, its also good for long layovers.

Can I access the Korean Lounge in JFK Terminal 1 with an Amex Platinum? It's on the Priority Pass list, but I didn't yet get my card.

Nope would need the actual pass
But you can call priority pass to get your  number and they would let you in.

You can technically get in with a not active one

Even when their swipe terminal is working? How so?

I will be flying BOS-YTZ on Porter on a morning flight. Air France has a lounge in the same terminal (Terminal E), which has access via Lounge Club card. But apparently the Air France lounge doesn't open until 1PM, which I guess makes sense for the trans-Air France flights.  Do I have any other options, besides just waiting for the free drinks on board Porter?  ;)

What cc (if there's any) would get me access to a/the lounge is IST?
I'll be having a 3 1/2 hour layover and I'd rather sit in a lounge.
TIA!

Depends on how much you are paying for that experience. If I have access to a lounge through one of my credit cards and the lounge is not too far from the gate, I would use it because it's quiet and relaxing. Also, if the flight gets delayed and that 45 minutes becomes an hour or more -- which happens more often then not, I would rather be sitting in a lounge than outside.

I have searched DDF and via Google, but still can't find the direct comparison in Frankfurt:
Luxx Lounge (Terminal 1) vs. Sky Lounge (Terminal 2).
Here's what I infer from various websites:

Luxx Lounge:
Terminal 1 (which is where LH is).
Landside (before Security)

Sky Lounge
Terminal 2 (which is where BA is)
Airside (after Security)

Both allow access with Priority Pass and with Lounge Club.
Is one better than the other for kosher food? Comfort?

Our situation -- seeking advice:
We have a 4-hour layover, arriving Terminal 2 on BA and transiting to Terminal 1 for departure on LH.

I presume we will need to claim our luggage from BA in Terminal 2 and then shlep it over to Terminal 1 and re-check it with LH.  I can't imagine BA will allow us to check it all the way to BOS from LHR, because that would require them to transfer it to LH in FRA.  Is that correct?  I presume our best option is to claim and re-check the luggage, and then go to Luxx Lounge?

Thanks.
