British Airways (BA) has opened its new Club lounge (i.e Business Class lounge) at New York’s John F. Kennedy (JFK) Airport. It follows on from BA’s new First Class lounge which was opened last year at JFK Airport.
It will be BA’s flagship US lounge, given the large number of BA customers flying back and forth between London and New York.
Key details are:
- The lounge is 22,000 sq. ft. (c.2000 sqm)
- The Club lounge has different areas to meet different needs, including seating areas, along with work stations, an entertainment room, and the Elemis Spa.
- 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’.
- A granite topped Quaich Bar, with a bartender on-hand at peak times to serve a full range of fine wines and cocktails such as the Broadway Copper Cup made with Copper Dog whisky, orange bitters and berries.
- An innovative new addition to the lounge is a BrewDog craft beer room, in partnership with the brand, a beer has been designed specifically for British Airways, named after its flight call sign – Speedbird 100. The beer is available on flights from May 1.
Sounds exciting – cant wait to travel to the Big Apple to try this lounge out, in particular this new craft beer!!! Photos below, thanks to BA!
Nice – a welcome change from the other lounges in JFK!
