JFK check-in & lounge?
If we print boarding passes at home, do we need to go to a check-in counter for passport checks?
We're flying F and JL uses the LH Senator lounge at JFK. Do we just show our boarding passes or did we need a document from JL? When checking in online, the website asked if we wanted to change seats since we'll have immovable armrests ??? |

Go to the check in counter, you'll get escorted with VIP One security.
Thanks! |

From quick reading, that sounds better than our TSA pre-check for T1
Thanks! |

FYI when I went through last month, the terminal wasn’t busy so they didn’t bother escorting me. This was a few hours before JL3.

There are some seats where they move up and down ;)
In any event, all other F seats were marked unavailable, so it wasn't a useful message. If they viewed it as an issue, they might have mentioned it when we chose those seats. Is there any meaningful difference between the F seats between JFK and NRT/HND? |
They said they were no longer doing VIPOne. There was a pre-check line and first class line. About 15 minutes from curb to past security.
LH lounge is very uncrowded, almost everyone looks Japanese. The lounge check-in agent filled out red luggage tags for us. |

I raised this point with them and even told them that the JL website says you can use your online BP at JFK (nothing about needing to get a new BP at the airport). They just gave me an annoyed look and treated me like I was the weird one. (They were pretty rude and un-JAL-like.)

Now JL uses Air France/KLM lounge, a little section upstairs with no hot food. No more LH senator

Has the upstairs portion of the AF lounge reopened for JL passengers? Last time I used the lounge in mid-2021 flying JL F JFK-HND, the upstairs was closed and all JL passengers (F and J) had to use just the downstairs part of the lounge.
