The New Etihad Lounge at JFK is Open

The new Etihad Airport Lounge at JFK soft launched yesterday and I got a chance to check it out while waiting for the inaugural flight from JFK to Abu Dhabi flight on the A380.

You take a left out of security and it’s near the end of Terminal 4.

They offer a luggage check which I took advantage of so I could more freely explore the lounge.

Loved the bar and the wall of windows as you first walk in.

It’s very spacious and every seat has a table and power outlet next to it. I ordered some celebratory champagne and when I got back to my seat it was waiting, with a hot towel!

There’s a small dining area though you can also eat anywhere in the lounge.

Order off a menu or nibble from the cold buffet.

Service is amazing, every 5 minutes folks were coming by to see how my experience was going and offer to get me things. I did order a dessert which never arrived, but was totally fine ok because I’m saving my appetite for the meals on the plane anyway!

The bathrooms were small but beautiful — 2 toilet rooms and a shower room.

The only downside I experienced is the beautiful wall of windows makes it quite warm in the afternoon. Definitely an improvement on JFK Terminal 4 lounges!

  1. Quick question! Any idea if I will be able to access the lounge on an incoming flight? I fly first class AUH>JFK then have a long layover before departing out of terminal 7 on cathay pacific….Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
