    Pancake machine!
    Dawn B.

    The Alaska Lounge is one of my favorite US based lounges. It has some of the kindest staff. They saw our child's pancakes didn't come out right and fixed the machine immediately without me saying a word. They also asked if they would like a coloring book and crayons. Some of the kindest people you meet work there. The food selection is pretty good too. They have eggs, cheese plates, oatmeal, and pancakes! I also love that they added chai latte to the barista area. It's a must try drink both hot and cold in my book.

    My flight was delayed 4 hours. One of the many perks of being a oneworld emerald status member is... it makes flight delays a lot more pleasant and bearable. I checked into the lounge to relax, write, have breakfast and perhaps some drinks. If you love coffee, they have a self serve coffee and tea station that has cold soy milk, almond milk, whole milk, oat milk and 2% milk, Pike Place roast coffee and Tazo teas. Or they have baristas available to make you any coffee you can dream of. I requested a Butterscotch Brûlée Latte (a drink I had at a Starbuck's in the UK). It's made out of steamed milk and butterscotch sauce finished with brulée topping. It's a smooth and silky treat. It was quite delicious. They had various breakfast offerings. Eggs, bacon, sausages, waffle station, muffins, breads, cereals, juices, etc. I had some eggs and bagels (not really a big breakfast person). Bagels were fresh. It would've been nice to have fresh cream cheese instead of individually packaged Philedelphia cream cheese. I also ordered a glass of champagne after breakfast... I chose to relax in the comfy leather recliner because I love to watch the airplanes take off and arrive. There's something so nostalgic about it. Airports, planes and rainy weather. I love it. The recliner is super plush and includes your very own charging station. I got a lot of thinking and writing done during this lounge stay. Grateful to have lounges in general. It makes the stress of traveling a little sweeter...

    Breakfast

    Food (3/5): Average breakfast spread, but definitely a step below what you might find at a SkyClub. They had bagels, muffins, oatmeal, cheese cubes, deli meat, Greek yogurt, some fruit (fresh blueberries and canned mandarins), and hard boiled eggs. Warm options were scrambled eggs and bacon. Bonus was that they had gluten free bagels sealed in packaging. Barista-made coffee (from Stumptown) was well above average for airport coffee with nondairy available (almond, oat). Service (5/5): Staff was awesome and kind. One of the baristas went above and beyond because she actually delivered my iced latte to me! Tables and restroom could be a bit cleaner but I was there a bit after the morning rush hour. Ambience: Small and modern lounge with nice views.

    This lounge is on the smaller side, but it has wifi, food, drinks, bathrooms and comfy seats. There is a full service bar and a coffee bar. The staff is really attentive and keep the food area stocked and clean. Note you can only check in bags 4 hours before your flight.

    I am not sure why the reviews are not higher. I am a regular at the flagship lounge in Seattle and the JFK location was quite impressive. It was clean, extremely friendly and helpful customer service and the best food selection I have experienced. I arrived in the earlier afternoon before the crowd so it was pleasantly quiet.

    House margarita and snacks

    Not a bad way to kill some time before our flight... The lounge features a different drink each month as well as wine, beer and spirits. Generally, complimentary, but top shelf will cost you a bit. They offer light, tasty snacks too: crudite, dips, soup. Clean and spacious with ample seating and their own bathrooms. Priority pass accepted! However, you can only enter two hours before your flight. We got there a bit earlier than that and they had a waitlist anyway (they email and text when they're ready for you). We waited about 1/2 hour after joining the queue at 11th in line. Enough time for a drink and some snacks! Two drinks if you can down them fast!

    12/14/2021 I think this is my first ever visit to an Alaska Lounge. Location: within terminal 7 at John F. Kennedy International Airport; post TSA. Access: if you have an active Priority Pass membership (that is how I entered). Certain elite members within the One World alliance can also access. Access is also permitted with one day passes priced at $50 or if you have an Alaska Airlines credit card with a 50% off discounted rate. Interior: it's not the fanciest airport lounge I've visited, but is designed to convey a sense of modern comfort. Open seating and private booth seating is available. There is one buffet area with cold items, pastries, and warm food such as oatmeal. There is also a self serve coffee and tea station along with a barista if you wanted something more crafted. There was also a bar, but it looked closed so I didn't grab anything alcoholic. What I liked: I'll always make time to visit a lounge just to grab a bite and to relax before boarding a flight. It made sense to visit this lounge since I was in fact flying with Alaska Airlines. What I Wished: well, a buffet with more hot foods other than oatmeal would have been a welcome addition. It's definitely nothing like a Centurion Lounge, but it's also nothing to complain about or compare to since my access was technically free. Decent lounge that serves a purpose.

    Cocktail of the month

    This is one do two lounges offered in Terminal 7. There is a lot of amenities but I think not enough staff to run it in full swing. Maybe because of Covid. Nevertheless, they still offer a lot! There is: -Salad bar. The white grilled chicken was pretty good. Not dry at all -dessert bar -pancake waffle maker -Starbucks coffee machine -variety of tea bags -variety of milk -a bar with most alcohol complimentary. There are some alcohol that would be an extra cost. The bar does look nice -barista bar Shoutout to Justin! He is very friendly, approachable and nice. He also created the cocktails of the month! He is very kind and considerate. He will go out of his way to make you your hot chocolate or cocktail! Pros: -plenty of charging outlets everywhere and at each seat -comfortable seating -very clean restrooms -free fast WiFi service -cocktail of the month is complimentary -there is soup -accepts priority pass -plenty of water (hot and cold) -spacious -different types of seating. Their couches look like good quality leather! Cons: -can't think of any!

    Pretty nice lounge with good food and plenty of seating! I do think their evening/dinner menu is lacking compared to their breakfast options.

    Entrance Hallway

    One of my guilty pleasures as a frequent traveler is indulging in an airport lounge, which has ultimately become my favorite way to kill time before a flight. Having flown Alaska and their Oneworld partners on many occasions, I have been to this lounge more times than I can count. As a regular lounge, it's decent but as a flagship lounge, it's a disappointment. Located in Terminal 7 just after the airport's worst TSA checkpoint (#1), the Alaska Lounge is on the second floor, adjacent to the British Airways Lounge (#2). It was unveiled to the traveling public roughly 3 years ago with a lot of hype since it was Alaska's first foray into the east coast market. It is open to anyone who is flying first class, has membership to either Priority Pass or Alaska Lounge, and/or a cardholder for American Airlines Executive World Mastercard. There is usually a person out front who (slowly) checks the status of each person coming in. The long walk from the entrance down the hallway gives a bit of an impression that something epic is coming. But upon turning the corner, the lounge is really plain at best. The have a small and limited food station in the middle of the room, along with a bar, a handful of lounge chairs + couches, and a pretty solid view of the planes. Overall, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to amenities. The bathrooms are clean, but small. The WiFi goes from good to mediocre in an instant. There are no showers, kid's areas, or a quiet room. The staff is lovely for the most part, but severely understaffed during crowded travel times. Regarding the latter, there isn't enough people coming around to handle the bar patrons or pick up after folks. Ultimately, for lounge fans, this is hardly a destination and I find the place more disappointing than I do impressive. I suppose it works fine in a pinch, but for folks who are paying good money to be here, it's definitely not worth more than some light bites, limited WiFi work, and a decent plane view. I am hoping that when they decide to open it back up (#pandemic) that things will improve and that perhaps it'll live up to the high'ish standard of Alaska Airlines. ____________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/tsa-checkpoint-terminal-7-jamaica (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/british-airways-first-class-lounge-jamaica

Like other high-end travel cards, the CSR gives complementary membership to Priority Pass (PP). Unfortunately, there just aren't that many great PP options domestically for the airports that my wife and I travel to (through). The best use of the membership has been getting free snacks/drinks from a Gameway at our home airport (LAX)..and occasionally a free chair massage when traveling through ATL. Well, with this initial visit to this lounge (first one to any Sapphire Lounge), I've now gone to a really good domestic lounge, not affiliated with AMEX or Delta. It was impressive, especially since it didn't cost extra. Chase has partnered with Airport Dimensions (owners of 'The Club' branded set of airport lounges across the U.S.) to open the Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge Network (only nine lounges so far). Airport Dimensions is owned by the Collinson Group, which also owns Priority Pass (the biggest airport lounge system in the world). This lounge is located in Terminal 4 at JFK, on the upper mezzanine, right next door to the AMEX Centurion Lounge (which my wife and I had visited on our last trip to NYC in 2023). There was one attendant manning the desk, and he let us in after scanning our membership QR code and boarding passes. We were able to find seats, and realized that it wasn't too crowded. We got there just as breakfast was ending (10:45...not too much of a selection yet). There was a breakfast buffet, and the bar was open. Got their specialty cocktail (a Sapphire Spritz made with vodka)....realized later that almost everyone else was ordering their drink through the Sapphire website (accessible by scanning a table specific QR code), getting it hand delivered right to their table. Delivery to table is a great feature of this lounge, differentiating it from competitors like Centurion and Sky Club. Once lunch opened up, more menu items became available, including a Sapphire Burger with Fries, with a decent ability to customize. My wife and I ended up separately ordering a burger and fries, and I got their two local beers on tap: TALEA Beer Co. Watermelon Splash Sour Ale and a Coney Island Brewing Co. Mermaid Pilsner. Everything got delivered per order in decent time, and the waiter was pleasant about it. The beers were great, and the burger was good quality...would have perfectly satisfied with the dish at a burger restaurant. The fries were decent, too. There is a self-service soda machine on the premise. I did try checking out the washrooms, and saw that there just isn't that many stalls for a lounge this size. After finishing our beers, we left the lounge in plenty of time to mosey to our departing gate. By the time we left, there was a line that had formed outside the lounge to get in...so they must use a strict queue to maintain the amount of people at the lounge to be under the maximum seating. That being said, I recognize that much of the experience depended on the lounge not being packed, so we got lucky (coming on a Thursday just before lunch started and leaving a bit after noon). I've read that Chase will be changing admission rules. Today, any PP member can enter the lounge once a year. Starting August 15, only members with an eligible card (like the CSR) will be able to enter. Can't wait when they open the new Sapphire Lounge (scheduled for late this year) at LAX! Might make me reconsider maintaining my Delta Reserve AMEX card.

I had to wait five minutes in line to enter the waitlist which itself took another 45 minutes. people were sitting outside the lounge waiting for their turn which didn't feel very premium. inside the lounge was very crowded and the attendant had difficulty finding me a spot, but I was able to spot an empty seat for myself. the food was really good, but that was about it for the lackluster "premium" experience. dont go to this lounge in the afternoons because it's too crowded and it's a hassle to come all the way to terminal 4 just for this lounge since you have to go through security again. there is no pathway or air train that connects the terminals on the secured side. there was a bar where I've seen great reviews on but I only had 10 minutes because I needed to leave to re clear security at the other terminal my flight departed from. Part of the reason for the lackluster experience is that this is a lounge ran by Ethiad that contracts for chase sapphire reserve. Ethiad customers have no waitlist. And if you are normal priority pass you have no chance making it in on the afternoons. Expect to get turned away aa I saw some people were. The lounge was pretty and aesthetically pleasing though.

Delta has a lot of traffic out of this terminal, thus opened a second (smaller) Sky Club in Concourse A in 2023. This one in Concourse B (capacity of 500 people) is located near Gate B31, and was convenient for a very early morning visit shortly after arriving into NY from LA on a red-eye flight. My wife and I gain entry into Sky Clubs via our AMEX Delta Reserve Card, which provides 15 complementary visits per year. The Sky Club allows entry at the point of arrival, whereas most other lounges is only for point of departure and any layovers. Since we had already used the lounge at LAX the previous night, we knew this additional visit wouldn't count against our cap, so decided to stop in for breakfast. It was very close to our arrival gate (though on the second floor, requiring taking an escalator or elevator), and had already opened at 05:00 by the time we entered (05:20). There were already quite a few people inside, with the breakfast buffet stocked. Found some nice seating with a view of the concourse. I tried some scrambled eggs, herb baked baby potatoes, pork sausage...ended up being a decent breakfast. My wife took advantage of the shower facilities, making an immediately fulfilled reservation since there was no wait.
