Yeah I've just edited my post. First flights are to London for training purposes, then Newark indeed
Thanks for confirming it   i noticed 2 weeks ago that J class from Newark is more expensive than from JFK from Nov and on

Well done. Yeah makes sense, they had VR tours of the new J product, it's a game changer for them

Any idea what dates they'll be flying to London?  I'd like to snag a one-way points ticket if possible!

Looked impressive. On par with competition as far as I could tell from the VR

I liked that Maimon started his speech by saying that they made several mistakes in the past and this a new beginning.. will wait and see.

His PR also prepared for him a punchline: "we had a dream, now we have a dreamliner"....

The big question is if they will price their awards as J or F

You're right. Technically it's called business, so F would be unfair, but you never know with them
