Someone who appears to be an AS FA highlighted the following AS website announcement on Reddit:
Beginning March 30, 2025, Alaska Airlines flights AS41 and AS24 will operate from Terminal 8. Check in and drop your bags at the T8 Alaska counter, then go through security to reach your gate. First Class guests on flights departing from Terminal 8 are welcome in the Admirals Club.
Additionally, the Terminal 7 parking lot is open to Premium and ADA public parking only. Non-ADA or non-Premium public parkers departing from Terminal 7 will be redirected to the Terminal 8 parking lot and will take the AirTrain to Terminal 7. More information can be found
here.
Given the impact on parking, I presume this is construction related and temporary?
Although I am no fan of T7, I flew out of T8 recently (albeit around the holidays) and it was a mess. And although I have never been to the JFK AC, I presume the AS Lounge is superior…
