I won't go on too long as my two eldest have already posted TR,s for this flight so I will just comment on the things they didn't pick up on .
Had the usual great time in the CH and was surprised when two different staff members remembered me which I thought was great as its only my 4th time in there and they must see a lot of people .
Boarded at gate 36 which is a bit of slog ,didn't seem to be any priority boarding in place and couldn't see any signs but as I was going to experience my first UC in the old suite I was too excited to let these things bother me .
The suite was good on bubbles ,a little tired looking but not too bad,the tray and lamp position leaves a lot to be desired .
A very good crew who were efficient ,didn't see a lot of the FSM though .
Good food ,plenty of wine and a nice sleep.
Landed to an empty immigration hall and cases on conveyor belt were waiting ,I guess the timing of the flight helped but was impressed with Newark and would def fly there again instead of JFK

Used to fly the 17 a few times a year to see family and always found the timing perfect to get into Eastern time A few additional details in your TR that were welcome after the 2 excellent family TR's Obviously a fine teacher
