Flagship lounge is open, Flagship dining is closed

Thanks i wonder how that affects the avail of KSML in the flagship lounge

Which is better J product AC or VS?

(TLV-JFK. Based on past experience both LHR and YYZ aren't great airports, though LHR is probably worse if terminal change required - I haven't been there in a long time)

I would prefer VS over AC. Better meals, better lounge (Hermolis in lounge), and excellent service.

VS A330-900neo vs A350-1000?

Only flown A350, and it was very comfortable, especially the 1st row (a little more legroom).

Wondering if anyone has experience this lately..

Flew jetblue mint and Delta first class a few times in the last month, and not once was offered a pre-departure drink, and JetBlue never had an amenity kit beyond eye mask and toothbrush (they used to have bags with lotion, face mist, etc..)

Anyone experience this? It was all domestic flying, wondering if pre-departure has stopped domestically? And if mint doesn’t offer such premium amenities anymore?

I was flying to Alaska, had to keep the hands hydrated…

I actually realized that you have to request the kits nowadays for airlines bottom line environmental reasons of waste and other things, so I missed out on 6 bottles of lotion between the two flights with my family. Oh well.

But still, no pre-departure drinks seems to be a thing, also noticed on American (was sitting right behind first class) there was nothing. Wondering what happened

[UKinNYS]

Would be nice to see this replace current domestic first..

Are all United business seats between LAX and EWR Polaris? I know there are slight differences between 787 and 777, but are they all the new seats or do they still fly the 777s with the old business class seats?

Everything 1-2-1 is Polaris.
They also have 2-4-2 old school 777s flying domestically.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. Polaris lounge is only for international business, right? Premium routes don't matter?

[Ly18]

Premium routes get club access

LX A330-300 or UA 767-300 when flying with companion?

[UKinNYS]

767 will be across aisle to I'd go with Swiss. plus IMO the A330 is a smoother ride.

LX A330-300 or UA 767-300 when flying with companion?

VS a350-1000 is row 1 recommended in seats D&G with companion? Seeing mixed reviews.

it's showing that we have assigned 1D and 1G. My question is if the bulkhead seats are worth the noise in the front or that's not a concern.
