No JL F routes to LA? Just because JFK is farther?

Shouldn't the wiki state that it's only the longest routes offering identical F/J products?

Nope.
Think I confused it with the SFO-HND route and a post from Lucky in 2014. I had that route booked but ended up in BA F instead.

BA F must be one of the routes that will certainly never show up in this thread.  :P

You can get luck (or unlucky) and get to fly it, use a CP to fly it, or just pay a lot of money. I wouldn't make it one of my first options, but for the sake of trying them all, I would consider it.

How exciting is BA F to be worth it to splurge 500.00 ?

considering that part of the experience on these routes is the food which many on this forum can not partake in, how much would you discount these routes due to the lack of food or is the shower,bed,amenities, sufficient to make the experience worth playing the game ?

Personally I wouldn't and would only fly it again when using a Companion Pass.

Is the pass worth spending $10k for?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Personally I see it as a great option when flying with an infant and spouse. After breaking down the miles and fee's to travel to TLV (or elsewhere), it is a pretty good deal. 

I believe MERI613 did that.

Still not bad when considering RT and only 10% for infant and not having to pay 10% fare for kid.
