If you want lounge access, and won't have the necessary elite status to get it, consider getting a credit card that offers Priority Pass lounge access. The AS lounge in JFK T-7 is a Priority Pass lounge; Bobby Van's Steakhouse in AA's T-8 at JFK is a participating Priority Pass restaurant ($28 credit per visit). Note that the Amex Platinum card no longer provides access to PP restaurants, only PP lounges. But the Chase Sapphire Reserve card still provides access to both, as does the U.S.Bank Altitude Reserve card; the latter, however, limits you to four PP visits per year.
