I am already reading where D1 JFK will be charging for premium bottles unlike the king of lounges in JFK- the amazing, yet window-less AA/BA Chelsea Lounge in T8
Hmm… $280 for LPGS #26 or complimentary (or possibly Krug or DP) at Chelsea.
Lots of hype so far. We will see…
I'd argue Chelsea is a
somewhat unfair comparison. D1 seems aimed more at Polaris and Soho here in NYC. Setting aside Keys and 360s, I'd argue Chelsea is tougher to enter than D1/Polaris/Soho. But D1 absolutely blows away EWR Polaris and JFK Soho in terms of size, layout, amenities...but with the odd liquor-charge perk you point out.
