    I'de stick with Heathrow. Just more options in general, at least for your return trip. I find it very interesting the two flights: ATL-LHR dept at 10:20 and 10:50 only 30 min between them. Leaves very little time for a non rev to scramble to an other gate and get listed / activated for the second flight. Usually when I go to London I like to fly out of JFK... more frequency to LHR with 3 flights vs 2 plus one LGW in ATL (no new Business Elite seats in ATL-LGW either). Currently the loads look like JFK- LHR would be your best option, but obviously more of a hassle.

    In terms of Pre-boarding and bulkhead seating.. Generally if the gate agents know they will have enough seats to accommodate all non-rev flyers they will assign seats and issue boarding passes prior to boarding. If first class is not available they will attempt to seat you in bulkhead. This would allow you to board early.

    Best practice would be to arrive at your gate early and inform the gate agents you are a non revenue passenger and that you use a electric wheelchair for mobility. I have full confidence the Delta employees will help your trip go as smoothly as if you were a revenue passenger.

    Any other questions give me a shout

    Best of Luck,

    Ross

    After reading your posts, I'd bet any gate agent would be thrilled to work with a pax as savvy as you are. Jethawk's advice (and Mig's!!) sound spot on.
    I'd stick w/JFK, too. But that would be based on loads. I don't usually book buddy pass riders until a few days prior. If loads are wide open I will do so a week before.
    Keep in mind, you won't have an agent at JFK gates until 90 mins (if that early!) prior to pushback. You can prob find a redcoat tho.
    I lvoed your comment about thrills and chills as a nonrev--hopefully, to rephrase, "you're not going to be in for a bumpy ride"
