In ten weeks one could do an awful lot of upgrading and improve the offering on the ground in line with the intro of the new J and later P classes to JFK. Just saying...

Not if it's just 1 person doing a paint job, which was the case in the J lounge in LOS a couple of years ago

LOL do you actually see a difference between the lounge and the general waiting areas in LOS?

Hm...well....there's a door and uhm....a fridge...and it feels a lot more crowded than outside, and sometimes the ac doesn't work, but otherwise there's no difference, no!

A piece of news about the JFK improvement works: there will be Clarins massages offered in the refurbished lounge, as in CDG 2E.

If so, crossing fingers that it will be separated discretely by a wall and door and not some zoo like fenced holding pen setup...

Does someone know when the lounge will re-open at the end of August (or if it has been pushed back again)? Can we use the KE or AZ lounge in the meantime?

Same here... Was hoping to try it on the 27th! And it seems that it will be the same at CDG on my way back to JFK...
