I was just there yesterday and yes the club at concourse B is still under construction. The club at concourse C is a mad house, when I arrived check in line was about 20 deep, the line at the bar at times was 10 - 15 people long.
I wonder if AA actually staffed for this. I really felt sorry for the bartenders they were doing their best to keep the line moving, they looked exhausted.

Has anyone visited the admirals club at JFK T8 recently? I flew out of there in May and it was undergoing renovations and their temporary space was completely inadequate - no seating, WiFi wasn't working and no premium beverage options. I was wondering / hoping they made some progress.

One of the benefits of the renovations to the AC at JFK is that Flagship users have full use of several very nice, large and well air conditioned shower suites. Used one last week after flying an airline (AA) that cares about providing such facilities to its fliers.

You mean this greatest airline in the world didn't provide arrival shower facilities at JFK?! Shame on EK.

Concourse C AC has 2 showers with a third being just generally broken at the moment.

I was there today and the Flagship showers were functional but not exactly nice... in need of some new paint, tiles and shower fixtures. They did the job but definitely not something where you came away thinking "wow, those are really nice".

Sorry if I missed this but I am sitting at the JFK-B AC and all liquor is house liquor here.....anyone else notice that. That's what the bartender told me and it didn't even look like they had the normal "house liquors". I actually don't mind this temporary lounge at all......it's quiet and open and now premium complimentary drinks!

A few weeks ago I used the B lounge (at 5:30 AM), when I exited the elevator there were two directional signs: left FLAGSHIP LOUNGE, right AC. I was flying domestic so turned right, there was NO agent at the AC portal, so I got to use the lounge FREE.
I have a Citi Prestige card and can "legally" use the lounge but based on signage, I didn't want to go back to register.
Are they still short of c/I agents?

IMHO no showers in the AA system are as nice as the DFW A Terminal AC's showers. Those are honestly some of the nicest showers I've ever used. Hopefully they don't get "refreshed" when the AC gets remodeled.

Maybe when the project is finished, AA will be more organized.

A bit late but I can confirm indeed that the JFK C concourse AC closes at 9:30. I flew out on the 10:15p JFK-LAX yesterday and was a bit surprised when they announced at 9:15 that they would be closing soon. Two more announcements followed - my friend who w/ me made a quick trip to the restroom while I packed up. At 9:29 (!) the cleaning crew comes, stops in front of me, loudly saying they're closed now. I point to the small array of bags and coats on the chairs next to me, explaining I'm waiting for my friend to get back from the restroom. Literally get told "well - we're closed. Can't stay here" and she points to the exit as if expecting me to somehow grab all of this stuff and go.
Couldn't help but feel like we got tossed out and we had inconvenienced them.
I've been in Skyclubs that stay open later if there's a flight delay and been grateful at that level of service. Why the AC would close 45 minutes before their last scheduled flight in concourse C is baffling. Yes, I realize we would have left on our own in the next 0:15. It seemed unnecessarily unpleasant though.
Fwiw I'm EXP, frequent this very lounge several times a month, and was on the first leg of an intl trip in J.

Yes those shower spas in DFW are ....ing awesome. Multiple body jets and multiple shower heads. Lots of water strength as well. Only the showers in LHR T3 arrival lounge come close in quality. Also I love the fitness room. I can't think of any other OW lounge with a treadmill.

Cathay now out of T8
Wiki needs to be updated to show that Cathay operates out of terminal 8 now, no longer from T7. This was effective as of 1/15/17.

I'd update the wiki myself, but I have not the requisite posts to allow me to do so.
