Besides, there is hardly any space at JFK to demarcate a section of the lounge for F passengers. EK will probably need to take up some more space if they were to do so.
I haven't heard anyone being disappointed by the JFK lounge and in fact I've heard most of the first timers usually gush 'great' or 'wow' when they first enter. My guess is that the lounge isn't really a factor if your point is that EK might be losing F revenue because they don't have a dedicated F lounge at JFK.
So are you suggesting that EK open a separate lounge for F passengers just as a matter of principle (F customers need something better than what J customers are getting) or because you've had some negative experiences at the JFK J lounge?
No, I have not had any bad experiences with the JFK lounge. I too am a regular their, and having been to a few other EK lounges worldwide, the JFK lounge is my favorite. I love it! I'm just saying if there was space, which there isn't presently, but say, if air India closed their JFK lounge. IF they did, since it's right next door, make that for F pax. Don't you think it's a good idea? I don't mind it right now, bc as I said I love the JFK lounge, but I think F pax deserve more. Don't you?
