The Sheraton JFK does offer a pool and Whirlpool, and Willard thinks that is just what he needs to get his circulation moving for the upcoming return flight(s) to Las Vegas.

All too soon, it's time for Willard to towel himself off and check-out of the Sheraton JFK to start the return leg of his US Airways-a-thon and go back to Las Vegas (via Phoenix!)

Check-in for US Airways at JFK was both well hidden and completely deserted. Even Willard's usually reliable charms had difficulty distracting the staff at the First Class check-in from their magazines and conversation, but once we had got our boarding passes, and been advised that our Star Gold status would definitely not allow us into the United Airlines Red Carpet Club*, we arrived, and were admitted to, the Red Carpet Club, by the not exactly welcoming, but somewhat better informed staff at the lounge. ( * - Carpet may not actually be red, or clean, VIP welcome only available on alternate Feb 29ths that co-incide with full-moon. not all ameneties available/working at any location, randomly made up terms and conditions may be applied at the whim of staff.)

Always one to make a bee-line for the lounge foliage, Willard tours the UA RCC at JFK T7, this is an amply sized lounge, though, like all RCC's, a bit thin on creature comforts. We also thought it was a little stingy to dis-allow Star Gold guests from the free WiFi (sternly informed "RCC Members Only!) in the lounge. It was noted that this lounge could also have been accessed via Willard's Priority Pass card, though still no WiFi via this route!

After spending some time at one of the desks (we only had to try three before we found one where the 'phone, power and chair all worked at once), we relaxed in the easy chairs, before taking a stroll into the terminal to hunt down a late lunch (food in the RCC was limited to crisps).
