Photographs of the refurbished JFK Terraces + First Lounge
This could be useful to those trying out JFK for the first time. In case you did not know, JFK T7 is often regarded as the best BA station in the network.
Not been in the JFK CCR since it was refurbished so no photos from there yet unfortunately. Enjoy...
Premium Check-in with CW on your right:
F/Emerald Check-in:
Separate Fast Track channel. It's perfect.
The CCR is directly to your left after security, however Terraces and First lounge require a 2 minute walk:
The refurbished work area seen directly to your right after reception:
10 feet further, looking left towards the main lounge area:
Main bar:
From other side. There is an FT member in this photo...
Opposite end:
Same area looking towards Pre-flight supper entrance:
The TV Lounge with large comfortable armchairs ^
Spa reception:
Shower:
View from Spa reception towards work area and lounge reception:
Now, about that Gold card...
Good job.

Very nice pics ^ Title change needed to 'JFK Galleries Club and First' lounges?

I am not sure if the lounges at JFK are designated "Galleries" as they only received a refurbishment and not a complete refit.
The premium check in area is undergoing changes at the moment and will become a more relaxed area with more sofas.
Dear Customer,
We’re working to improve the check-in area for Club World and First customers at New York JFK Terminal 7.
The concourse will be modernised as part of a refurbishment programme that includes the already redesigned lounges.
Construction is planned to start 17 June and finish by late August/beginning of September 2011. So if you’re flying out of Terminal 7 during this period you may experience some disruption.
We’re very sorry if you’re affected by this. We’re doing everything we can to minimise the impact on your journey, but from time to time we will need to close off some areas of the concourse while work takes place.
When the refurbishment is complete, the new look concourse will provide a calmer sense of space that’s reminiscent of a hotel lobby, with new lighting that complements the lounge feel and on-board experience. New seating in the check-in area will provide more comfort and space for you to prepare prior to checking in and going through security.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new premium check-in area at New York JFK Terminal 7 very soon.
Warm regards,
British Airways

There is no confusion, it is just Genius1 being a smart-one. It is called Terraces and First lounge. Both lounges are shared by all other OneWorld partners using T7 hence the names will likely stick to avoid confusion.

Cheers Petrus for the update though It doesn't look *all* that different to when I was there last a year ago now
The boardroom table perhaps is new.
Are there still pc's in the far left corner of the Flounge? or is that pic of the work area now a joint work area for club and F?
Also have they addressed the internet speed issue there at all? and the regularly not working printers? internet was woefull on my last trip,it would have been quicker almost if pages were sent via carrier pigeon...

Great photos, I like the seats at the F desks and the fact that like BOS there is a satellite/cable receiver for the TV.
