When JFK was remodeling the International Terminal i guess about 1971 they used one to transport us from a Aer Lingus 747 to the Intl Arrivals. It is gigantic inside, larger than even double wide bus with big windows and air conditioning. it was a shock at first boarding that and not going directly into the terminal, at that time.
Im so glad San Francisco airport does not have this mobile lounge. The setup of the International Terminal at SFO is one of the best in the world. With two concourses separated it makes clearing customs a breeze compared to LAX and other airports. This si why I choose to arrive at SFO over other airports such as JFK where I have to connect to another flight as opposed to clearing customs at my final destination.
They are starting to phase out the moble lounges and replacing them with an underground peoplemover. planemates will still be used for aircraft on hard stands.

My dad hates these things. Thank God for the AeroTrain, so now every time we go to Dulles to catch a flight he won't be complaining.

Is that a plane mate or mobile lounge? I thought mobile lounges had cabs on both ends and did not have a scissors lift

It's a mobile lounge.

@seanlee747 actually, I just found out that mobile lounge and plane mates are the same thing with interchangeable names
