<\/a><\/a>Direction the AirTrain, the train allowing to go from one terminal to another.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>In passing, I see a US Airways plane… a company that no longer exists since it was bought by American Airlines. They take a little time to repaint the acquired aircraft!<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>By the way, as you leave Terminal 8 – or “American Airlines Terminal”, a glimpse of the company’s various logos.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>Changing the terminal means leaving the “Security” area. If my stopover had been longer, I could have gone to New-York in a few hours. That will be for another time \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I finally reached the AirTrain, Terminal 7 is not far away.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a>And here I am, a short one minute trip and I’m in Terminal 7 or “British Airways Terminal”.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a>No doubt, we are here in New-York with the famous yellow cabs.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>Several signs indicate the paths to the different registration areas.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>This is the business class area (Club World), with little traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I go to the first class area (British Airways First).<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a>Terminal 7 – First<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is now 7:45 pm. I decide to see at the check-in counter if I can change my flight. Initially, I was registered on the last flight of the evening (22:55 – BA182). But before this one, there are 3 other flights, all on B747 (20h15, 20h40, 21h30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I am traveling on an award flight (paid with miles), there is normally a fee for any changes. The agent decides to go see his supervisor and I wait in the very “British” chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n 5 minutes later, the agent comes back with my new boarding pass: I’m now leaving at 8:15 pm, in 30 minutes! And what’s more… in seat 1A normally reserved for the most frequent British Airways passengers (with a high Oneworld status).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A short passage through security (2 minutes) and I am faced with a difficult choice: which lounge to choose to relax in before boarding?<\/p>\n\n\n This will be the Concorde Room, exclusively reserved for First Class passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n A small glimpse of this living room, with a style that I would describe as “old-fashioned British”.<\/p>\n\n\n There is the possibility to have dinner on the spot, I would only take 2 glasses of champagne and some cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n And I sit next to the Business Center to admire the view with a setting sun.<\/p>\n\n\n But it is already time to join my plane. To tell you the truth, I’m glad I moved my flight forward by almost 3 hours. I had planned to have dinner in the lounge to get as much sleep as possible during the flight, but I ended up having dinner on the plane! The visit of the other fairs will be done next time.<\/p>\n\n\n The boarding area is very busy, fortunately, there is a dedicated line for First and Business Class passengers. The order is scrupulously respected.<\/p>\n\n\n A father and son boarded just before me and headed upstairs in business class.<\/p>\n\n\n As for me, it will be all the way to the left… towards seat 1A, with a brief passage in front of a business class section.<\/p>\n\n\n Here I am, alone, in first class. So I take the opportunity to make a maximum of pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n The hostess, seeing that I take a lot of pictures, offers to immortalize this moment, sitting in my seat 1A.<\/p>\n\n\n Then she brings me back my “welcome kit” which is the product kit (for men) as well as a pair of pajamas in my size.<\/p>\n\n\n A small tour of the menu and drinks that will be proposed to me this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n I open the blind that covers my two portholes to see that we are already leaving the door!<\/p>\n\n\n I can stretch out my legs, savor my glass of champagne, we will soon take off. A Royal Air Maroc b787 is before us.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>In the Concorde Room – Terminal 7 New-York JFK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
