John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is the busiest airport in the United States for international traffic. It is built as a ring of separate terminals with no airside connection between them, so the terminal a traveler departs from shapes which lounges are reachable. This page lists every JFK lounge by terminal, with locations, opening hours, facilities, and how to get in.

Quick Overview: JFK Airport Lounges

JFK handled 62.6 million passengers in 2025, its second-busiest year on record, ranking it the sixth-busiest airport in the United States and the country’s leading international gateway (Source: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). The airport has 28 operating lounges and experiences, plus the temporarily closed USO Lounge in Terminal 5.

There is no airside connection between JFK’s terminals, so reaching a lounge outside the departure terminal means exiting security and clearing it again.

Terminal 4 holds the credit card lounges, including the Centurion Lounge, the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways, the Capital One Lounge, and the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, while terminals 1, 7, and 8 hold most of the airline and Priority Pass lounges. Access comes through 4 routes: a premium cabin or partner-ticket pairing, qualifying elite status, a lounge or credit card membership, or a paid day pass.

The New Terminal One and Terminal 6 each open their first gates later in 2026, which will change the Terminal 1 and Terminal 7 lineups (Source: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey).

The New Terminal One is being built on the Terminal 1 site and will open its first gates later in 2026, with full completion in 2030. Terminal 6 is being built on the site of the former Terminal 6 and will open its first 5 gates in 2026. Terminal 7 continues operating until the second phase of Terminal 6 construction begins (Source: Port Authority of New York and New Jersey).

Korean Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines are scheduled to move to the New Terminal One, and Aer Lingus, Air India, Cathay Pacific, and Lufthansa Group are scheduled to move to Terminal 6.

The Alaska Lounge in Terminal 7 has closed permanently; Alaska Airlines moved to Terminal 8 in October 2025, where its passengers use the Admirals Club.

Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

JFK has no airside connection between terminals. The AirTrain, which is the main way to move between terminals, runs outside the secure area, so any terminal change requires exiting security and clearing it again. Travelers planning to visit a lounge in another terminal should allow extra time for a second screening.

Delta operates a shuttle bus between terminals 2 and 4 that stays inside the secure area.

Hot Tip:

Consult our guide to learn how to move between terminals at JFK.

Hot Tip:

The Priority Pass memberships issued through American Express and Capital One cards do not cover nonlounge experiences. At JFK, that means Amex and Capital One cardholders cannot use Priority Pass at Be Relax Spa or Minute Suites, though the lounges remain available to eligible Chase cardholders. Our guide to credit cards that offer Priority Pass memberships breaks down the different memberships offered.

Final Thoughts

JFK has around 30 lounges, concentrated in terminals 1, 4, and 8. Access comes by premium or partner ticket and status, a lounge or credit card membership, Priority Pass, or a paid day pass. Because there is no airside connection between terminals, the practical choice is a lounge in the departure terminal.
