AA Flagship First to JFK

At around T-60, I headed back across the T4 connector to T4.

Where AA finally decieded to close the Admirals Club and Flagship to finish renovations. 

The nearby AA customer service area has been converted to a mini-Admirals Club...

... with grab and go food and beverages.

My LAX-JFK gate tonight is in Terminal 5, which is another walk via tunnel.

A quick stop to check out the T5 Admirals Club, which AA took over from Delta.

Tonight's flight departed from nearby Gate 53B.  I arrived at T-25 and pretty much everyone had already boarded.

Tonight's menu for the pic.

Just after take-off, I reclined my seat into bed more and slept all the way to New York.  Nice sunrise on descent.

On arrival, I headed for the JFK Flagship Lounge.

Which was virtually empty at 5:30am, perfect for picture taking.

After a shower, I headed for Flagship First Dining and breakfast.

What a lovely oasis of calm as it is strictly reserved to international First and transcon First passengers.  

I had the delicious Eggs Benedict on my last breakfast visit so I tried the Steak Eggs and Frites today.  Yummy.

I love, love, love Flagship First Dining.   Hard to believe that this is really American Airlines.
