We're flying out of Terminal 4 (Aer Lingus) at 9:45 pm on Wednesday night. So to beat the traffic/rush hour from Philly to JFK, we're arriving at about 4:00 pm. My husband just joined Priority Pass with his AmEx Platinum, and we'd like to take advantage of it and pass the time in one of the lounges. Which ones are in Terminal 4 and can we use them all? This airport lounge stuff is all new to us, so any help is appreciated.

You can search for their lounges on their website, or download their app on your smartphone. Probably easier than asking here everytime you're looking for a lounge.
In terminal 4, you'll have access to the Oasis, pre-security on the 4th floor of the east wing.

I wasn't planning on asking every time. This is my first time to use Priority Pass and we never fly from JFK, so I thought I would ask.

The Lounge closed sometime in June or July. I was in T4 last month heading towards the LY King David Lounge and the space The Lounge formerly occupied was vacant. I'd imagine this has something to do with the T4 expansion/modernization project.

Yes, the new security checkpoint opened up last Thursday, making many things which used to be outside security now inside.

Oasis Now Airside, Not Landside
Thank you for solving the mystery, Sbm12. So at least part of what I was told was wrong. Now I know The Oasis itself didn't move an inch, and the set-up, facilities are all the same as before. Since it was the security people who made the move, I wonder if they would allow people who are not taking off from Terminal 4 to go through their checkpoint just to visit The Oasis, as they were able to before. But then when you're done and ready to go to the terminal you're actually flying out of, do you line up with all the passengers coming off the foreign flights to go through immigration precessing? Seems not to be worth the bother. Anyone tried?

You won't have to clear immigration leaving the secure area. There should be an exit near the checkpoint. If you cannot find it just ask the TSA folks and they can point you to it. But it definitely won't involve immigration.
You will need a BP to get through the checkpoint, obviously.
