JAL Mileage Bank - No shower at JFK JAL First and Sakura Lounge?

From online reviews, seems like there are only limited offerings at JAL's JFK lounges. Is it correct that there's no shower facilities either? Any places to get a shower before taking the longest flight in JAL network? :p

True that there is no shower from the last time I visited in 2009... and basically the lounge is very abysmal except for a rather large seating area but not much offering going on at all.

The terminal is quite sad as well...not even paid shower available if you wanted one!!!

My advice - get your shower before you c/i!


p.s. priority security screening is a good plus at jfk tho!

thanks...that probably means staying at a nearby hotel the night before is a better choice than say staying at the city and take subway to the airport in the morning.

I don't understand why they didn't install shower facilities there given JFK-NRT is such a long flight :(

I once made a mistake of getting off a transcon and connecting on to that flight assuming there'd be shower... -_-

guess there is no shower because

1) the facility is rather old and,

2) its a mid morning flight so they probably expect most of the pax to come fresh from their homes/hotels so no shower facility is needed

And 3) those who transfer from AA would have gotten showers at AC or FL :p

I actually cannot think of any one JAL lounge outside of Japan that has shower facilities.

I guess that's when your OW elite status comes into play. As OP himself mentioned, FL & AC lounges both have showers.

FRA has showers

Actually no OW status won't help in this case. JAL is at T1 and is the only OW operator over there
