Just make sure your expectations are set at an appropriate level. I'm not sure the last time you were in an AC (or, specifically, the JFK AC), but it's not going to "wow" you. The breakfast is, at best, equivalent to a generic hotel continental breakfast. The house/complimentary drinks are all basic (but they did recently make mimosa's complimentary, so that's a plus for morning trips). The last few times I've been there, I haven't had any trouble finding a comfortable seat near the windows. Your mileage may vary... but, if it's already paid for... why not?
