Any updates on JFK lounge renovation? Is it on schedule? Does anyone know if it is just a cosmetic or actual reconstruction and other improvement to the space. IMHO it was pretty good lounge, mostly I used it in F section only. For 6-8 people it was totally sufficient. It became too crowded, and overwhelming for one lounge waitress shared with C section, if there are more than 10 people there.
Originally when T4 opened I remember Swiss even had a fireplace (self-venting gas modern design) in the section where the dinning tables / area is now.

Joking aside: I'm also really curious on how this is going. I'm really looking forward to the new JFK Lounge.

unfortunately Etihad has no F section. You are right when comparing the C food of LX with the food in the Etihad lounge. But F food in the LX lounge was much better than the food in the current Etihad lounge.

I was told that the renovation is managed by Swiss people from Zurich. They come in weekly for a day. Material is supposed to be supplied also from Switzerland. Not much progress at all. So we can expect a solid Swiss lounge but who knows when....
