Read moreDon't know why this place is getting such a bad rep with all the 1 star reviews. Sure its not the best lounge at JFK but its definitely way way better than sitting in the food court. Located across from gate 3 in Terminal 1, the windows give you a nice view of flights taking off. If you sit right at the end you can even see the skyline of Manhattan in the distance.

Food selection was lacking compared to other lounges, a few muffins, pastries, fruits and the rest was packaged snacks. No hot food but I think they are in the process of setting it up. Beer, sodas and a self serve bar with 5 to 6 of your standard spirits - bacardi, JD, absolut etc. but they did also have remy martin cognac! Red and white wine also available. Staff seemed polite enough and made regular rounds to refill items and keep the place tidy. Check in was easy and seamless too using my priority pass. Definitely worth a visit if you are flying out...

The coffee is also good but surprisingly the machine doesn't have cappuccino (but the latte was a fine substitute). The outer wall is all windows letting in lots of light and providing views of the water and planes taxiing by. The staff are very attentive- clearing dishes and...
