Air India First class lounge JFK
 
I have a AI first class flight from JFK in the next few days. Do they have a separate area in the lounge for first class passengers and assuming first class passengers use the AI lounge?

Yeah the last time I visited there... they've just roped off a small section... it's a tiny lounge and the "F Section" or the lounge is nothing to write home about. IIRC the food and drinks was the same for both.

If you have loads and loads of free time... you could go to the LH lounge in T1 after checking your bags.

The AI lounge in JFK is pretty basic & all passengers get access to the same lounge. There is a tiny seating section that is reserved for First passengers.

It was so crowded the last time I was there that I left the lounge after 15 minutes. Went to Dunkin Donuts, got a coffee & just walked around the terminal till it was time to board.

I hear the Turkish Airlines lounge at JFK is pretty good.

LH is the better pick if you're heading to T1. EWR is the better choice for *A lounges at the moment.

The Mexican place at T4 beats the pants off the AI "lounge" any day of the week. Great tacos, good drink selection and excellent staff. The pub (Brew Blue or something) is a close second.

It's been a while since I went to any of the three, but I suspect little haa changed.

The AI lounge is disgusting but maybe their seat and cabin is even worse. I will post some photos.

I can confirm that the lounge is far better than the seats on their old planes.
