I'm a bit surprised at how many rank the JFK CCR above the LHR... I've been in each a pretty decent number of times, and I agree that staff at JFK are incredible. I do agree the catering staff at LHR aren't quite up to snuff on the whole, but the excellent attention I've had from the rest of the staff nearly makes up for it.
I don't think JFK CCR has decent food or wine by comparison. And the space, albeit nice and uncrowded, is by my way of thinking in no way superior to LHR. Adding that in JFK for showers/spa services you need to walk all the way across the terminal to get to GC... and of course no Cabanas.
I'd almost go as far to say that the thing I like most about the JFK CCR is that it's leagues above the pretty dire F lounge, which in a lot of ways is not even as nice as the regular Club lounge.
