My money is leaning toward JFK before SFO or PDX. T7 is undergoing a major remodel and it may actually be under construction, as opposed to the two other pipe dreams located in severe non-smoking zones.

No, it's going to be an United Club or Global First Lounge refurb.
Shouldn't be THAT hard to do that.

So it has to be the UA RCC space that AS would use.

well T7 should have 2 empty lounge spaces -- the former United Red Carpet Club and United International First Class lounge.
Unless PANYJ/BA are totally gutting that section of the terminal (upstairs, above the counters)

AS and VX switching to T7 JFK Oct 4
Saw a sign at the VX boarding gates this morning.
Is the Alaska Lounge even open yet?
Right now I have a DL Sky Club Membership so I use the T4 lounge if I am flying VX.
What is there in T7? Any lounge option at all, even paid?

So I just want to confirm - but has there been any notice given (in a press release or something) of the October 4 date of the move to T7? I'm just looking for something a little more substantial.

Having been here (JFK T7) twice this weekend I can confidently say: old school Terminal - Lots of space under construction. Limited food & Bev options. No Starbucks. No Pre. Dilapidated & insufficent restroom space. On the other hand, you can only go up from here.

yeah, that's my experience with the terminal also. But if you are flying international, the immigration lines are really short.

Is there at least wifi? Ill be spending way too much time at JFK over the next 2 weeks. 3 hours each x 4 stops.
