Hi
Quick question (It may have been answered above, sorry if I missed it). I'm arriving into JFK T8 with my father on a redeye from LAX (Business Class) and we are connecting onto the 8.05am day service with BA to LHR out of T7, as a OW Emerald, is there an arrival lounge in T8 to use shower facilities, and if so, can I guest my father in? (he won't have status).

Hurry, though; the earliest redeye typically arrives around 6:15am, and you're trying to change terminals, reclear security, and shower and board in about an hour. It's doable, but don't dilly-dally.

There is no arrival lounge, but the AA lounge in T8 and the BA lounge in T7 both have showers available. If you're emerald, you can bring one guest into either lounge. Flying Business LAX-JFK also gets you into the AA lounge at T8.

I apologize if this has been rehashed elsewhere; didn't find a reference after a quick search.
Are there "lockers" of some sort in either AC in JFK? I'm arriving into JFK around noon, and wanted to visit NYC and a friend, but not lug my carryon thru the city. I'm already checking my 3 pieces in the hold.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure there are none. There is paid storage at Terminal 1:

Had a nice daytrip to Manhattan today.
There aren't "lockers" per se, but there is a luggage storage area across from the checkin desk (to the right) of the Gate 12 lounge that was unsecured, but worked for me ^

My SO was told by a bartender today that she needed a drink coupon for a gin and tonic. Anyone experienced this before at JFK AC? I never have. Eventually the guy said he'd "let" her have the drink without a coupon. She wasn't asking for branded/premium liquor, just a well drink. Seems weird.

Spoke to gentleman at reception yesterday and he said, there is going to be construction going on. At the moment when you come out the elevator where the big open space is, you are met by a big temporary wall. There is going to be a temporary lounge in that space (think top of escalators at D15 lounge, MIA). Don't know the exact details though.

Last week, visited both JFK admirals club flying JFK-LAX in J (though I already have access via my membership anyways). For a 3 hour wait, what can I say? Both clubs are adequate. Food is so-so, but I've known that for years. The one amenity that keeps me coming back and back again to the AC are the showers. So great to shower before a long 6.5 hour flight. It's a really great feeling being able to wash away all the sweat built up over the day.
It'd be nice if there was better food, but really, in the end, I don't really care. I've been on cruise ships and I've experienced some really fine dining there, though after a while, all that fine dining gets annoying with its slow pace. Usually at an airport I'm in a hurry, and don't have time or care to deal with the slow pace of high end dining. Besides, I don't want to feel bloated when I board an airplane. Nothing worse than a full stomach on the airplane and having to use the lavs to empty that full stomach.

So, do the dates involved include April 20? I take it that if, after a transfer from LGA, we check in around 6 hours before the TATL departure, the C club would be better for spending that time? My wife asks for wheelchair assistance for longer walks; I was thinking she wouldn't need it for the B club, but I guess it would be advisable for the C.

Not quite sure. I was in a rush and just wanted to get into flagship for a shower so didn't have time to discuss exhaustively. What I did manage to find out, wasn't a lot but he pointed more towards admirals club about renovation and said the area at top of escalator will be used a temporary lounge. Take with a pinch of salt though.
