If you are a fast walker (esp. for JFK-FRA-SIN), head over to the A pier. The lounges there have showers that rarely have a wait. Then hightail it back to your plane for your onward flight.

JFK lounges
I'm a bit confused. On the SQ website it says there are two lounges that can be used in JFK:
Virgin Clubhouse - in T4 landside
Swiss Lounge - in T4 landside
It doesn't mention anything about an NW lounge that others in this forum are mentioning. Basically what I want to know is if I can use a lounge (and shower) after my arrival into JFK. I'll be flying SQ in C and I have a *G card.

SQ in T4 uses VS CH (for F BP holders and QPP) and Skyview Lounges. I hope there will be no change after 1 Sep.

You must be a real runner to be able to fit in an hour stop to transfer from terminal B to Terminal A. I have seen SQ25 assigned at Gate 48 or around that area), thus an easy short walk to LH SEN lounge. But I have seen SQ 25 parked at Gate B20 (just before the long lines for security for all flights to the US.

FWIW, calling SQ this weekend about this was a disaster, a real embarassment for SQ . I got three different answers on three different calls: (1) that there's a SKL at JFK (which clearly there isn't); (2) the Swiss lounge is for use by *G pax (but some posters above have said this lounge is no longer there); and (3) the VS CH (which, according to other FTers, is for F pax only). No mention of any Skyview lounge.
Put simply, my SO and I are flying SQ C; I'm *G, she has no status. What lounge can we use at JFK prior to departure on SQ 25?

The Swiss lounge has moved and the VS CH is for PPS and KF Gold only. However, you can try your luck at VS CH with your C BP.
Good luck!

Once you checked-in at the SQ C counter, the agent will hand you your C BP and a piece of white photo-copy paper which is the Invitation to "Th Oasis Lounge" (http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_U...TED_LOUNGE.pdf)

With which airline is this lounge affiliated? Is it any good? Any food other than snicky-snacks? (I did a search and found very little about this lounge.)
Thanks!

That's funny, when I looked at the SQ site, I thought "Virgin Clubhouse The Oasis" was the full name of the VSCH!

In fact, the VSCH is only for F pax; C pax do indeed use The Oasis lounge which I believe the the Emirates Business Class Lounge and is used by EOS as well http://www.eosairlines.com/flyeos/ov...airportJFK.jsf.
Sorry if this dashes your hopes of using the VSCH, although it is worth a shot at trying to get in .
Let us know what happens.

When you question them on that it should be the VS CH, they will say its only for PPS. I don't even bother to argue with them, just give them a look and walked away.
In any case, I (and I always tell my parents the same) will to go directly to the VS CH. We have never had any problem in getting into the VS CH with our Y C F BPs together with the KF Elite Gold card. Showing the BP alone is not good enough as the lounge attendants will ask to see the KF Elite Gold Card as well.
