*The Catch* If you've used any other Chase Sapphire lounge…read morewithin a year on your Priority Pass, you can't get in, so save your 1/yr for this one!! It's tucked in Terminal B's central airside hall (take a non-obvious hallway to an elevator that brings you up to level 4). As soon as you arrive, scan the table's QR code and sign up for the complimentary 20-min facial (it was my first one - so relaxing)! Note if you're taller than say ~5'9" though, the downside is the chair is not built for taller folks, so there ends up not being lumbar support (stuff a jacket behind your back). Background: This is the top lounge I've been to by far - exceeded my expectations and lived up to the hype! Here's aspects that makes it special: - The Vibe & Design - 2-floors of seating that boast a tastefully chic Manhattan hotel ambiance. Gorgeous 360-degree central bar. Sleek, modern, and warm design. - Food & Drinks - *QR Code Menu at Each Table*: Can order warm dishes delivered straight to your table. The fried chicken sandwich with fries and chicken tenders were both spot-on in crispness and juiciness. *Buffet Station*: impressive individually plated appetizers, fresh bowls, and desserts, especially the burrata with marinated peppers and summer herbs! Light yet rich and flavorful. *Coffee*: The coffee machine makes great decaf oat-milk capp's and lattes. There's also cold brew on tap. - The Amenities - Beyond comfortable seating and abundant power outlets, there's solid Wi-Fi speeds. I can see exactly why this top lounge is limited to once a year - savor it!

So im writing this review as a priority pass card holder. I arrived 4 hours before our flight so we…read morecan experience this lounge. We arrived a little after 2:30pm and probably checked in at around 3pm. When I say that having the priority pass you are pretty much the bottom of their priority. Priority definitely wasn't a priority for this location. We didn't get in until about 5:15-5:30pm already. 2 1/2 hours of wait. I personally think they need to change their set up here where after 10 credit card members let one priority pass member in or something. Once we got in we went downstairs and checked in and gave our membership. I ran in to some minor issues where my qr code wasn't working for my priority pass but I had my actual member card which eventually worked. Once we were in there was an array of selection for food, dessert, drinks and drinks from the bar. You can order food on their qr code which is all included in your membership. Honestly, besides the long wait everything else was great once you get inside. All the food, drinks and snacks were all great. Customer service was amazing as well.

Capital One Lounge Experience My first time visiting the…read moreCapital One Lounge, and I absolutely loved it! The fresh drinks and delicious hot meals were wonderful, and the service was excellent. The staff greeted us warmly at the entrance and said goodbye when we left, making the experience feel extra special. Best of all, they offer unlimited grab-and-go food, including salads, pastries, and drinks! The ambiance is relaxing, peaceful, and calming--perfect for unwinding before a flight. A wonderful lounge experience that I would highly recommend! Free access for primary Capital One Venture X cardholders.

I've been to a good amount of airport lounges across the world, most of which leave a lot to be…read moredesired. Overcrowded, weak offerings, not to mention sometimes you can't even get in, no less get a seat. I recently gave up the credit card that allowed for "free" Admiral's Club membership, those these seem to be the most ubiquitous. I have Priority Pass and barely use it, especially if I'm with my husband because it costs too much IMO for a companion pass (love how they keep whittling away those perks). But on a recent visit to terminal 4 prior to a transatlantic flight, I knew I needed to see if I could at least get a snack and some water, so when I saw the Capital One Lounge, I went for it. I was greeted by the nicest lady who patiently walked me through entry, even though I stupidly left my boarding pass and credit cards about a half a mile away at my gate with my husband. You don't need Priority Pass to enter, just a Capital One card, I believe any tier. Guests can get a pass at 50 dollars, I believe. I guess it's worth it if your guest drinks a lot and has no dietary restrictions. I was pretty impressed with the amount of seating, work stations and tables and easily found a seat. While the cold bar only had one plant based option (thank you for clearly marking dietary restrictions), the menu that you order from had zero. I had the quickest, tiniest snack (I think it was couscous?) and filled my water bottle and went on my way. The bathrooms are private, clean and there's also showers available. Overall a much more positive experience than a lot of lounges (if I can even get in-- Priority Pass is really not good and I'll be moving to a lower tier Capital One card when it comes time to renew).

The United Club Lounge at C123 in Terminal C at Newark Airport makes for a comfortable pit stop…read morebefore a flight. It's a spacious lounge with plenty of seating, shower suites, and a solid selection of food and beverages. That said, I noticed in my visits that a lounge of this size can still feel overwhelmed during peak travel periods. Just outside the lounge, the United Airlines 100th-anniversary exhibit offers a fun trip down memory lane, tracing the evolution of air travel and giving a glimpse into United's history. I enjoyed my visit overall and particularly appreciated having access to the shower suites when I needed one. The only disappointment was that the hot water wasn't working quite as well as it should have. Nonetheless, it was a welcome amenity and a nice way to freshen up before a flight. Highly recommend!

United Club - C123 (Newark Airport)…read more This is one of the most modern and beautiful United Lounges I've visited. Debuted, May 2022. The largest United Club location for United Airlines. It spans 30,000 Square Feet. Comfortably accommodating over 400 travelers. LOUNGE: Hats off to who designed and built this lounge. It shows how much passion and love they put into this 30,000 SQFT project. The way to get to this lounge is go past C123 gate and up the escalator. Depending on peak hours, by the entrance, you may have to form a line. Once you enter, the first thing you'll see is a large book shelf with table in front of it. Go past those shelves to the left and through the hallway. This is where all your main lounge will be. Your eyes may get wide and you may feel slightly overwhelmed of how much space there is, like I did. They offer so much seating that you're sure to find a spot to unwind, relax or get some work done. Throughout the space, they have large windows to allow natural lighting. Some of the seating faces the windows for you to enjoy watching the planes. The space was exceptionally clean. I didn't see any trash laying around. The staff did a wonderful job coming up to the guests that finished with their dishes and asked, "May I take that from you?" FOOD: I was on a six hour layover here and I was able to enjoy breakfast and lunch. I have to say, for a lounge that can accommodate over 400 travelers, they were on top of it. They kept bring hot breakfast items. They offered variety of options including healthy options. I prefer eating healthy and some of the other locations don't offer good healthy options. Here, you have turkey sausage and links with egg whites. They have a large space for your breakfast sandwiches, wraps and fresh fruit. A yogurt and oatmeal area with all your toppings available. I didn't get a chance to stay too long for lunch, but I was able to see if they serve good lunch and they did. They offered chicken with penne pasta and many other options. For lunch, they also offered healthy options. Hot beverages are available through their Coffee machines or you can ask at the bar for any additional drink options. Good food options here, overall. SHOWER SUITES: This location offers multiple suites for you to take a shower before or after your long flight. I was able to take a nice shower after my long flight to Newark, and it was so refreshing. The suite was clean, offering good amounts of towels. They provide complimentary, Perricone MD Shower Gel, Conditioner and Soap. Overall, this is a great feature to have at this club. Not all United Club locations offer shower rooms. STAFF: After visiting multiple United Club locations, I would have to say the entire staff working here are just absolutely amazing. They are so helpful and kind, regardless if this is your first visit or you're experienced traveler. Any questions you may have about the space, or flight information, they are here to assist you with a genuine smile. If you just need someone to talk to, they're happy to spike up a conversation with you. OVERALL: If you're traveling domestically or internationally with one of the Star Alliance members, this is a great place to unwind, relax while you're waiting for your departure. I've been at this lounge several times and I am looking forward to continue my visits.

No photos from me this time--the other reviews already have plenty of great photos! And honestly, if you're complaining about the food or drinks..., it's free! Enjoy the lounge, relax, and appreciate what's being offered. You can't expect a five-star restaurant experience when everything is included.

Food comes out in about ten minutes. Drinks were well crafted; even the NA mocktails were delicious. Love all the nods to local Philly- sports, beer garden, Ben Franklin. The amenities are the game changer. Showers were really spacious and soooooo luxurious. The rest pod was a peaceful break from the airport noise. And my absolute favorite- the free facial! You have to sign up via QR code for any amenities, which you can only access once you're in the lounge. So pro tip- soon as you sit down, check the amenity schedule first- even before cocktail or food.

Really enjoyed the Centurion Lounge in Terminal 4 at JFK. Best of all, there was no wait to get in,…read morewhich seems to be increasingly rare. The lounge is spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating, and everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buffet areas, plus a separate coffee and dessert/ice cream bar on the upper level. I found the food to be surprisingly flavorful for an airport lounge, and I also appreciated that kosher meals are available upon request. If you have time before your flight, don't miss the 1850 Speakeasy tucked inside the lounge. It's a fun addition and serves well-crafted specialty cocktails in a more intimate setting. One of my favorite features was the view overlooking the tarmac. It's a great place to relax while watching the constant flow of aircraft taxiing and taking off. Overall, an excellent lounge experience and one we'd happily visit again.

The WiFi was advertised but did not show up as a network and they had no forks available. A good Centurion location but not the best I've seen.

What I did not expect was a self serve bar! Champagne, wine, beer, seltzer, even hard liquor all available for self serve! Like many others, I appreciated their selection of cheeses, quiches, and breads (very French). I would love for there to be more casual seating, like couches and such, similar to the AMEX lounges, but the ones there did their jobs. Plenty of outlets. There is also a top and bottom floor which is nice. Did not feel crowded at all, even during the peak. Only con is that there is just one bathroom that I could see on top floor. Pretty much always a line. Regardless, happy to return!

This lounge is infamous for its wait time, but once you get in, it's great!…read moreThis was my second visit- apparently they get busy in the evening as many international flights depart around that time. Today I checked in with a host, got on the waitlist and waited about 45 minutes before getting in. The centurion lounge next door also posted a sign saying it was at capacity and there was an online waitlist. What I don't like about this lounge is I cannot pick a seat. They just escort you and let you know what it's available for you. As other reviews say, I wondered why so many available seats there when a lot of people are waiting outside? It may be the service capacity related, rather than space capacity? The food is consistently good here. The buffet is sufficient but the made to order menu seemed really good too.

At check-in, we were informed that both the showers and internet were not working. Once inside, there was another wait for a table, so I opted to sit at the bar. I ordered an Espresso Martini, which was rather light on the vodka. Since the internet was down, online ordering was unavailable as well, leaving only the hot-plate, cafeteria-esque food. It's also worth mentioning that there were gnats flying around some of the hot plates. Still better than airplane food, I suppose. The biggest quality-of-life feature missing from this lounge is a selection of grab-and-go snacks. Aside from sodas, there was virtually nothing I could toss in my bag for the flight. The lounge itself has a nice interior, but it was packed with people and the overall experience fell well short of what you'd expect from a premium lounge.

It often has a line to get in. This new lounge is much smaller but very nicely designed. There are different kinds of seating and it was relatively empty when I went- I believe not everyone knows about the lounge yet. The food was the same basic food as the larger lounge in B but it does not have all the extras, such as a live pasta station or a Nathan's hotdog stand. So if you're needing more peace and quiet, this is the place to be. It has a beautiful central bar and plenty of complimentary drink choices. They even have Starbucks on tap here!
