JFK lounge recommendations

Heading MAN-JFK-YYZ soon and have a long layover in JFK.

Not sure I've connected through JFK before and definitely not internationally.

I'm on an upper class I fare (also VS gold) and looking for advice on which lounge I can use. Is the clubhouse possible?

I presume the JFK>YYZ leg is on DL?

If so you will be arriving and departing from T4 at JFK so your options will be either of the DL SkyClubs; the old one which is at the B gates end of T4 near gate 31 or the new one; which is at the A gates end of T4 near gate A8, close to the VS Clubhouse. The old one has showers and the outdoor SkyDeck, the new one has neither. Use them both if you need to kill some time :cool:

You could always ask at the VS Clubhouse as well as the *may* let you in, though access to the JFK Clubhouse is now much more restrictive than it used to be, especially during the Priority Pass operating hours window which is 08:00 - 13:30 every day. After 13:30 you may have more luck when it goes back to being for VS departures.

Sorry yes, connection is with DL, same ticket.

I'm in JFK from 1630 to 2030 so I'll give the clubhouse a whirl; don't ask, don't get

Is the VS Clubhouse still open only from 3:00 pm in the afternoon?

Are you 100% sure on this? As I am sure when I went to the new one by the Virgin lounge it had a SkyDeck by the bar?

Sorry, I was just going off what DL publish on their website here for JFK. The SkyDeck is only listed on the B gates SkyClub.

Clubhouse access was granted without issue. They wanted to see my boarding pass from the flight I arrived on and the connecting flight.

Not sure if I got in on account of an upper fare or gold or both.

Does anyone know if the JFK clubhouse is open later now that Virgin have a mid night flight?
