American 772 Business Class to JFK

I had originally booked this flight when it was still a three-class 32T... then used a Business Extra upgrade certificate to upgrade from Business to First.  Alas, American has gone from 10 daily 32T JFK-LAX nonstops to just 2 wided body 772s with no First Class cabin on either.  

Maybe it's COVID-fatigue or New Yorkers, but gate lice have returned.

Premium Economy seats are similar to AA's narrow body domestic First seats. 

Today's menu...

Ready to go.

Excellent inflight service today.

Even though I was in the last row and last to order, they still had an egg dish available.  COVID-era service means everything wrapped. 

Unwrapped, it looked pretty good. 

On approach to JFK.

At the gate, we were met by National Guard checking for our NYS Traveler Health Forms.  What a farce as this email could be weeks old as all they look for is the Green check.  And this appears to be all for show as no troops met our Emirates flight when we landed back at JFK today. 

The usual COVID-era Admirals Club packaged small bites.

Or made to order guacamole.

After half an hour, I headed out to wind my way to Terminal 4.
