I’ve been on ARN-JFK and JFK-ARN several times over the years. It’s a lousy flight, even in business-elite (or Delta One, as it’s called now). For starters, the departing flight from J.F.K. is way too late. Nobody wants any food. So the FAs don’t really care about providing any service to the one or two people in the forward cabin to actually want service. Plus, the aircraft is an old Delta transcontinental plane with ancient recliner seats despite the fact that business-elite fares were regularly $4,000 and up last year. On the return flight from ARN, the service is better because it’s a daytime flight, but I encountered catering issues in ARN. Plus, Delta uses a third party contractor at ARN, so boarding is a mess as is check-in. They don’t get the whole Sky Priority-thing, let alone business-elite.
