If you're redeeming miles a feeder flights should be a no cost option. Revenue tickets often don't fluctuate that much in the same geographical area.
Also you're connecting beyond Warsaw (or flying back) the Polonez lounge (and it's lounge within a lounge area) is worth a visit.

This is actually a deal I'm getting from work so my options were kind of limited. It should still be fine, and I'm excited to check out LOT's business class.
Flying into and out of Warsaw. I already planned for earlier check in to have some extra time to check out the Polonez lounge

LO JFK T7 - Lounge access?
Have just booked one of the LOT/Air Belgium A340 wetlease flights from JFK to WAW in May. Wondering 1) if people can confirm this operates from JFK T7 as with the other LOT flights (I have assumed so); and 2) what lounge are they using?
On #2 I did some searches but couldn't find anything past 2016 when LOT first moved to T7. Sounds like they were initially using the old United Lounge (rebranded) but the LOT website implies they're using the BA lounge. Any actual reports?

It says BA Galleries (most likely without the pre-flight dining that is only for BA C-class).

As a further addition to the JFK lounge topic (G also interested as will soon be flying LOT out of New York), the LOT website mentions British Airways Galleries Club but I wonder whether that's still the case as BA have now moved to T8? It would be good to know whether the lounge in question is still operational.

That's the point, BA moved out from Terminal 7 to Terminal 8 and I read that their lounge also closed down back in December. Actually, I'm not even sure if there is any lounge in Terminal 7 now, not even Alaska Lounge which is One World anyway.
So... LO offers nothing at JFK to their C class passengers and status card holders?

JFK T7 will be demolished in 2026 once the phase 1 of T6 is ready. I doubt anyone will open any dedicated lounge there. JMP are refurbishing the BA lounge complex to open a contract lounge there in 2023.

To deliver a positive guest experience, JMP will make some immediate enhancements to Terminal 7, including improved directional signage and digital screens for easier passenger navigation and finish upgrades to gate seating areas. A new children’s playscape located after security will open in 2023, and an updated airport lounge, now open to all passengers, will provide another option for passengers traveling through Terminal 7.

If there is nothing available by the end of February when I am flying JFK-WAW, LO Senator in C class, I am going to ask the station manager politely for drink/meal vouchers to use inside the Terminal 7, sorry LOT, Covid excuses are over.
According to the LOT website:
LOT Business Class on long-haul flights
We have created LOT Business Class with you on our mind - the world's standard of traveling which guarantees the top travel comfort and maximum privacy both in the air and on land.
Relax before your travel
Travelling is a real pleasure right from your arrival at the airport. With a LOT Business Class ticket, you have access to business lounges at all main airports around the world.
Well, if LOT doesn't consider JFK to be "one of the main airports around the world" then I wonder what these airports are. And we mustn't forget about "the top travel comfort".

I think you'll find the old BA T7 lounge space has continued, just operated by the airport, and that's where former non-OW airlines send their pax. I'd expect LO do the same.
They will open their own lounge in JFK T1 when they move. (EDIT: With Mr Milky gone, maybe that's in doubt?)

Apparently the BA lounge is now branded ANA. As ANA is *A, I presume you're good.

I'll make sure to check out the lounge in a month from now.
