I believe that the BA lounge in EWR is nicer than the JFK lounge. True? I have flown from JFK on the afternoon flight and BA just barely caters the 1st class lounge. EWR is easier to get to than JFK from the DC area.
EWR flights are reliable as it's probably one of the few airlines taking off that late. The ground staff are much better trained now and everything is smooth (the last two times I've flew out of EWR).
BA lounge in EWR is not nicer but definitely less people uses it. JFK J lounge is bigger but busier. EWR do not have a separate First Class lounge (although it's a joke at JFK, BA First Class lounge are only a joke and only exists to satisfy Oneworld requirements.)
