I've going to get my free priority pass membership with my AMEX platinum card. They've told me that the lounge I can use at JFK is the Korean Air lounge. Anybody been in this and is it any good?
Cheers!

Bugger - just realised VS fly from T4 at JFK and KAL fly from T1.
Swiz!
Humpf!

PP holders used to be able to use the Northwest Worldclub at T4 JFK - I never used it myself, but have used several other NW lounges.
As has been said on the board many times before, they are okay - but they are no Clubhouse.

Err - controversial but I think that some of the BA Terraces are a good 2nd. The Concorde Rooms are nice, but then I like the staff at the various Clubhouses as they give it the character - anyone that has been thru SFO will know exactly what I am talking about - Didn't win the FC Heroes award for nothing last year! There are stars at every route.
AS for JFK T4 - I'm sure that you can use the Swissport lounge which is right next door to the Clubhouse so you can sob at what you're missing! But my latest guide doesn't have this confirmed in there.
Thanks,
Richard

You would think so. Seems a bit odd that there are two available lounges at BHX and yet none in T4 of JFK, especially considering some big carriers fly from there.
I know I've got the PP membership free with my AMEX (well not free, the card fee cost enough!) and shouldn't grumble but want to be able to use lounges wherever possible.
Lets face it JFK is one of the most boring airports in the world to wait at....

Not for me its not - ClubHouse is lovely!

Know what you mean though - 4 at LGW alone and I avoid LGW like the plague - might catch something!;)
Thanks,

Okay, JFK is the most boring place to wait at for us commoners without access to Nirvana.
Not that common though, don't like Gatwick either, except I takes me to MCO!!

Nooooo!
I have the worst airport on Friday:- CDG
No PP lounge in Terminal 2, no decent food and a pall of cigarrette smoke throughout. The departure lounge is awful, with up to five flights sitting round waiting like its the morturary.
Add to that having to fly BA.......[:(][:(]
GOD I hate CDG!

There, there! honey lamb knows what a nasty place that CDG is! And how horrible it is to fly BA. But just think! It could be worse. It could be one of those nasty low-cost carriers. Now you just think of your next VS trip and you'll feel all better!

How it can be the city airport for Paris, the way LHR is for Larrrndon and JFK is for NYC?
Awful place.
As for nasty low cost carrier, thats what I thought BA was these days?
