The unfortunate thing is that it didn’t use to be like that. It was never great, but it was “ok” and the F floor was kept closed for a very long time after the rest of the lounge reopened. So to be back in this fashion and considering the fares out of NY, it is dsappointing.

Not surprised at all by the overcrowding (I and others predicted it when it was announced that LX was going to move to T1).
While the AF lounge isn't all that and the "private room" for F is on the small side, the food is edible. The stuff in the "wine and dine" section, unless packaged or bread sticks, isn't.

I'll be flying LH out of JFK Terminal 1. Looks like I could access their business class lounge since I'm flying business, but also appears there are several other lounges I could visit with Priority Pass. Can anyone recommend the best lounge to visit in Terminal 1? My options are LH, Primeclass, Turkish, Air France or KAL. Since I'll be arriving around 1PM, I'd be most interested in the best food, peace and quiet a plus. Alcohol won't matter.

LH lounge is a bit dated. SEN floor was quiet with nice views, but minimal food options. Chicken and rice, small fresh veggies, a few brownie type snacks. Bar seemed fine.
Turkish had a nicer lounge with a bit better food, including Turkish delight and baklava. No alcohol yet in the Turkish lounge as they are waiting on licensing.
PS Even priority/Precheck line at T1 was very slow. It took me 30 min to clear at 3pm.

The elevator is still on key lock to access the F lounge. We were escorted to the flight and pre-boarded.

Any escort from check-in to the lounge through security?
