Access to VIP Lounge?
 

My wife, daughter and me are travelling from MAD to JFK in business class on an Iberia flight. Since we used miles for our trip, I booked through BA while my wife and daughter booked through AA.

None of us do a great deal of travelling, so we don't have any status; just my Iberia Plus Clasica membership. We also have Admirals' Club membership though our Citibank credit card.

Will anything we have get us access to the VIP lounge?

Thanks!

Your business class tickets are enough to grant you access to the lounge in MAD, which by the way is a quite nice lounge

Yes, biz class ticket grants you access to the VIP lounge, which is indeed a quite nice lounge.

Am I correct in thinking the lounge for JFK is not open 24 hrs and does not currently have showers

Which lounge, Iberia's? British Airways Galleries? Definitely not open 24 hours and doesn't have showers.

The Galleries First, if you have access to it as oneworld Emerald, does have showers according to this link.

Yes, it's quite a nice lounge, well actually a very good lounge - enjoy it.

So my wife and I will be flying JFK to Madrid .

We have Business Plus via US Airways / OneWorld miles.

Looks like flight 6250 leaves out of Terminal 7.

there looks like there is 4 lounges


British Airways First Lounge
Airside

British Airways Terraces
Airside

United Club
Above Ticket Counter

United Global First Lounge

which of these do you think we will have access to?

if more than one, which is the best to relax with some drinks, snacks before our flight.

thanks

Bill

If you are flying in business class, you will have access to the BA Galleries lounge (formerly called Terraces lounge), which is BA business class lounge (unless you also have Oneworld Emerald status, in which case you would also have access to the BA First lounge).
