ANA First Class Departing JFK: Which Lounge?
Since United doesn't operate at JFK anymore, which lounge(s) do ANA's First Class passengers have access to there?

A simple search "JFK lounge" = First Lounge at JFK
And if you looked at the ANA website ... under "Lounges"

Unfortunately the BA F Lounge in JFK is closed "until further notice" — some reports say it'll reopen in September but I wouldn't get my hopes up: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...er-notice.html

My understanding are the Elemis Spa services are not available to NH passengers, and the shower facilities are located in the spa. I've never flown NH ex-JFK so I'm not sure. Worst case I will head over to the LH SEN lounge for a shower and deal with the two security checks (thankfully this will be the afternoon before the evening rush at JFK, and ANA participates in PreCheck now).

I haven't flown to JFK in some time but the *A lounge finder tool also shows LH or Swiss Senator lounges but they are in Terminal 4. Not sure how much of a pain it is to connect between terminals without having to leave and return through security.

It's not the greatest, but unless you have several additional hours it probably makes sense to stick to the BA F in T7.

The JFK Terminals aren't connected airside (other than a limited connection between T2 and T4 for DL), so it's a massive pain. The LH lounge is in T1 in any event, and ironically is one of the lounges JAL uses.

I can confirm that showers are available to NH passengers at the BA lounge JFK. I have done this flight 2-3 times. I'm glad that NH is flying out of this terminal. At T1, you don't even have shower access as a J flyer at the Lufthansa lounge unless you also have Star Alliance Gold Status. Very strange that Y Flyer gets the shower at the Senator level lounge and a J flyer gets hosed. I have thus made it a point to avoid Star Alliance flying out of JFK T1.
