British Airways Opens Club Lounge at New York’s JFK Airport

British Airways has opened the doors of its new Club Lounge at New York’s JFK airport.

As British Airways’ flagship US lounge, the welcoming space will play host to the hundreds of business and leisure customers that travel between New York and London on up to twelve transatlantic flights a day.

Spread across 22,000 sq. ft., the Club Lounge includes relaxed seating areas, work stations with power outlets, an entertainment room by Sony, and an Elemis Spa which offers a range of treatments to help travellers relax and recharge ahead of their journey.

The pre-flight dining experience includes a brasserie-style dining room where travellers can enjoy freshly prepared dishes from an extensive menu or a range of smaller items chosen to allow customers to ‘grab and go’.

There will be a granite topped Quaich Bar, created in partnership with the Quaich bar at the Craigellachie Hotel in Speyside, Scotland, and a BrewDog craft beer room, which will feature an assortment of BrewDog beers as well as one that has been designed specifically for British Airways, named after its flight call sign – Speedbird 100. The beer will also be available on flights from 1 May 2019.

Carolina Martinoli, British Airways’ Director of Brand and Customer Experience, said, “JFK airport is like a second home to Heathrow so it’s great to mark the final step in our significant customer investment with the opening of our new Club and First lounges. Every detail has been carefully designed and we’ve created a space to meet our customers’ needs – whether they want to relax and have a meal or enjoy a craft beer and catch up on the world news.”
