Install our free app.
The Greenwich Lounge at New York JFK airport has a storied history. The club launched in May 2017 as the American Airlines Flagship Lounge, was expanded in September 2018, and then rebranded and further expanded in December 2022 as the Greenwich Lounge.
In its current incarnation, the Greenwich Lounge is operated in partnership between American Airlines and British Airways and serves as a business class lounge for long-haul flights operated by American Airlines, British Airways, and oneworld partners.
The Greenwich Lounge occupies the footprint of the former Flagship Lounge, Flagship Dining Lounge, and adjacent Admirals Club. (Admirals Club members can visit the club in Concourse C, while First Class passengers who used to have access to Flagship Dining can now enjoy the luxurious Chelsea Lounge.)

Located in Terminal 8, after security, on the mezzanine level, the vast Greenwich Lounge boasts a new design which bridges tradition and modernity, with a conservative color palette and Earth tones, along with clean lines and efficient lighting.
Guests will find a choice of seats, all equipped with power and USB ports, including high-backed seats offering enhanced privacy, convivial traditional seating areas, communal tables, and recessed nooks embedded in the walls with a built-in table.
Large floor-to-ceiling windows reveal views of the tarmac and let plenty of natural light in. A separate quiet room offers a more secluded space outfitted with recliners.

Overall ratings
Easy access, nice facilities, large choice of premium alcohol. But food is barely acceptable, honestly public school cantine level. And service is slooooow
Fantastic lounge with great interior and sensational apron view with the Manhattan Skyline in the background. Plenty of seats in many different areas. Quite empty when I entered early afternoon, but very crowded later on. Staff was very nice and professional.
Very nice buffet with good choice of food including many warm items. There also is a Fine Dining area for First Class Passengers. Enormous selection of beverages including champagnes, wines, many different beers and spirits.
Free WIFI which was very slow when used by many people. Some newspapers and magazines, nice restrooms and showers.
Almost non existent selection of snacks ( there is no food in here). Very limited drinks. You have to pay for most of the real food or drinks. Good WIFI
Super crowded.
