With a CX ticket, would you be eligible for either of these, even if you were there when they were on offer? My impression was that you wouldn't be.

Agreed. The Lounge is located just past security up the stairs and to the left. To get to the CX gates, its no more than a 2 minute walk. JFK's terminal 7 is really small. Before I got elite status and lounge access, I got bored because there really isn't anything to do. I think for the new 9 am flight though, there might be a few more people in the lounge because if I'm not mistaken, some of the last morning flights to LHR on BA take off around then.

i was actually at the terraces lounge at JFK just last night. flew into LHR out of JFK at 2030. the lounge was very nice, elemis spa treatment was heavenly.
couldn't help but to pop by the arrivals lounge at T4 this morning for a second helping of elemis services.

Actually, there is full-service buffet style pre-flight supper available. You have to keep in mind that you were there in the afternoon, before any supper service would have been available... as these pre-flight supper services are geared towards sleeper flights departing in the evening. and to echo jjpb3's thoughts- you do have to hold a BA boarding pass to gain access to the supper area.

Terraces side is nice... but the First class side is horrible.. very hot and stuffy, and the food is never replenished... the BA staff also love using the F class washrooms... dunno why... even when flying in F, I prefer to sit over in the Terraces side....
I disagree though that its nicer than any US airline lounge... AA Flagship lounges are a bit nicer, and UA International F lounge in ORD is way better...

The T7 JFK CX economy line was quite busy in the morning, but the J and F counters (to the left, not well signed, I thought) were a breeze. There was even a completely separate security checkpoint further to the left. It meant a longer walk around to the lounge, but much, much quicker.

In addition, as far as I know, any MPC member can use the J check-in at JFK. It isn't limited to Elites because I was able to use it as a Green member back in the day. As far as the separate security line, it isn't always open, so if it was, consider yourself lucky. I've sometimes had to go wait on the general security line despite Gold status.

Maybe the Terraces F lounge does nt get maybe the attention it deserves as a result, but it does nt represent what the BA F pax experience is. Its maybe that both QF and CX have chosen not to pay BA to allow their F pax to access the Concorde Room.
