In December they were using the LH lounge, where you can guest one per *G. You can only bring your family into TK operated lounges.

I just redeemed my Mileage Plus miles for a business class flight on Turkish Airlines from JFK on Feb. 8, 2018. Our flight leaves at 1:30 pm. Which lounges will I have access to? Thanks!

TK still uses the LH lounge. I was on the 12.30pm flight two weeks ago and the lounge had maybe 10-15 people since no LH flights around that time, food was limited but ok. My wife flew 3 days later on the midnight flight and she hated it and said it was a mess with pretty much no food left.

I was at the LH lounge last tuesday, only 10 pax in the lounge. The upper floors (Senator and F lounge) were closed, lounge dragon told me those floors are closed until the afternoon.

Granite64 - thank you for the info. I will be on the 12:30 flight as well and I am not happy to hear that the SEN lounge is not open. First world problems but the business lounge is quite poor ( not as bad as the Korean one but quite abysmal). DO you all remember when Do&Co used to do catering fir it?

Used it a couple times and never saw showers, I guess these are not available. But yes, TK uses the Lufthansa lounge (first you can use the upper level (better seating, I guess) (i.e. the Senator Lounge) and then you must come down when the LH plane departs as they close that 1st floor.

On a separate note, I am not sure about the 1am flight you are referring to. I flown either 1.25pm or 11.55pm. Maybe it is some other day (or when timezones change), though.

Hi Everyone,

Flying at 12:30pm from JFK to IST in business on 22-Sep-2020 and wondering if Turkish is still using the LH lounge or if it is back to the Korean lounge? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance!

Currently, they are using the Primeclass Lounge in T1; however, you could use the Lufthansa Business Lounge if you wish.

Thanks! It really sucks there isn't a good lounge for TK flights from JFK. With having to arrive so early for international flights you would think they could get a better product together...
