The New York arrival terminal is not the best. Maybe that’s getting corrected with construction. It’s not a big deal though, particularly on the leg where you’re into new york (vs out of).

Check a bag. The boarding is horrible with this large packed flight.

I like airlines that have options for seating, even if I have to pay for it. I would never had chosen to sit in exit seat where I couldn't recline or even sleep bc the headrest didn't work.
