Wei H.

A relatively small lounge with limited food and drink options. I came into this lounge because all other lounges are at capacity. The staff are nice. That's the only good part. They offer cold wraps, soup, bread, salad, Turkish tea and can soda/water. Not as lavish like other big lounges. Basic bathrooms that would need much more frequent care/cleaning. The lounge has big corner windows. The view is probably better during daytime. It's an ok lounge, not my top choice.

Nice lounge to come for free food. The lounge offers great variety of food and served fresh. It also offers variety of turkish food like rice, sauce, and other. Definitely worth it : )

This was my first time visiting the Turkish Airlines Lounge at JFK, and I was really looking forward to it. When you think of Turkish hospitality, you expect warmth, care, and great food. Unfortunately, this experience was far from that. The food selection was disappointing -- very limited and not at all appetizing. Most of it looked like it had just been reheated from frozen. The salads looked tired and dry, and even though I was really hungry after a long day, nothing looked tempting. I ended up just having some lentil soup, a bit of kısır, and some eggplant salad. When I went to get Turkish tea, the pot was empty. The coffee machine was also out of service, so there weren't even any hot drink options available. For a flagship airline lounge representing Turkey, this felt really underwhelming. I hope Turkish Airlines improves this lounge -- especially the food quality, presentation, and beverage service. Turkish hospitality deserves better representation than this.

We had a business class flight with Egypt Air and se were entitled to use Turkish Airlines Lounge in JFK airport. The food is OK. Just a slight step above a continental breakfast from a hotel. No alcohol. It was early, but I would have liked a mimosa. Service was fine. There were plenty of people picking up. Would I choose this lounge, no. Alas it's better than waiting at the gate.

Turkish tea - bitter but appreciated

On 5/17/2025 we spent some time in TA VIP Lounge in JFK airport, I really appreciated the selection the food and drink that we had access to with S credit card membership. I enjoyed it all including the Turkish tea but some in our group were not impressed with the freshness of the food. They had various seating area: dining, by the window walls, lounge area with vertical separations. I'm not sure if I recommend this lounge, you will need to decide for yourself.

3.5 added an extra half star since I came to this lounge pretty late on a Friday night in September and they were gracious to let me enter even though it was about 20 minutes prior to official closing hours. Given that there were several late night flights they were kind enough to let a handful of travelers linger until about 10 min after close. The space is on the smaller side for a lounge (maybe seating for about 50-60) though at night it wasn't too crowded. There's a single food and drinks station with hot and cold food and a few dessert items like baklava. The bathrooms were clean.

Nice view at the tarmac. Good decor, quite spacious and well maintained. The food was decent and I just had a quick bite. No alcohol available, in case you are someone who wants to have a drink.

I actually enjoyed this lounge. The space is spacious and clean. The staff clean and fill the amenities at the bar frequently. The food and drinks were pretty good. I like their chicken the best. They have a lot of drink options minus the alcohol which I'm okay with. I stayed here for at least 2 hours and it was very pleasant.

Sandwich bar
Vivian C.

There are employees always cleaning tables. They are very polite and always with a smile. The bars were alway full. I saw employees constantly filling anything that was half full. Enough food for every one. The environment: it's very quiet with the lighting and soft music even in the clean bathroom (3 stalls). A lot of drinks to choose from. (No alcohol which is ok with me). I like their salad varieties. Sour and fresh. My family ate the sandwich, 3 varieties. All healthy tasting. Overall my first experience with priority pass was great.

Terrible lounge with limited seating, stale commercialized food, and no liquor. One of the most cramped lounges at T1. Nothing positive.

The matcha yogurt also had no matcha.... The egg corn scramble was a little watery, and everything needed hot sauce which is fine since they provide several. I tried the rise and shine espresso cocktail and not my cup of tea, but it was also the morning so maybe I just wasn't feeling it. Still a step above other lounges though.

Not all lounges are made equal, and the Sapphire lounge at JFK sits in the same class as Centurion…read moreand Capital One's new lounge. You can debate the nuances of each-- Centurion's food is better, Capital One's is larger and has a cheese monger, Ess a Bagel, and better cocktails. But compared to the sort of lounges that don't have their own bathrooms and offer nothing more than some bananas and cereal, you really could do worse. The Sapphire lounge in LGA is larger and prettier, but they pretty much offer the same amenities. The bathrooms have been clean every time I've visited, save for one time. The menu isn't vast but there's a little buffet station with fresh fruit and hot food, as well as a made to order menu with full sized portions. Sometimes the food has been quick, and other times it has taken a while, so you really should give yourself some buffer time if you're trying to get something from the made to order menu. The food is fine. I've visited enough times to say that the folks who work here have been so warm and nice each time, checking in and asking guests how they're doing. Garbage is cleaned up immediately, so it's a pretty well oiled machine in there. You can bring up to 2 guests and any additional guests cost just $27 more, which I'd say it's worth it, particularly if you have a long layover and will have a couple of drinks.

There's a small buffet area which had limited food options including lasagna and chicken. There's also a salad bar where the veggies were fresh. The one thing I really liked was their tomato based vegetable soup. The vegetables were tender, the broth was savory and hearty, yet had a good balance of the vegetables natural sweetness and the acid from the tomatoes. There's also small bar and only 1 person working so there's always a lot of people waiting around that area. Overall, it's a great option if you want to go in to grab a quick bite and use the restrooms before the flight. However, I did not find it comfortable as it was very crowded but perhaps it's better at other times of the day

This seems pretty fair for a quick dinner meal or snack before an extremely long haul flight. It cost me zero dollars. I'll take it. Also there is a fridge full of all sorts of refreshments ranging from water, juice, and sodas!

I had the good fortune to visit Delta One Lounge in JFK several times and this is my honest…read moreopinion. Pros: Services are far superior than many A1 lounges that I have been to unless you're flying La Premiere by Air France. Other than that it was way better than Emirates itself and I an Emirates Platinum Member I must admit this. The decor feels like vintage dinner with a modern touch, it's almost like old Hollywood glamour. Many dishes are made a la carte, a true definition of fine dining. Several Chefs and Sous Chef are eager to cook you whatever you want with a smile. There are several seating areas that you can use to enjoy your delicious 5 course meals and drinks. Who can forget the quiet room with several 0 gravity chairs for a relaxing massage before your flight. Everyone was beyond polite and attentive. Honestly, this lounge makes both the AMEX & regular DL lounges feel very basic. I was pleasantly surprised. The experience is far better & above what you will experience in the cabin. Once you come you will have no desire to leave. It's therapeutic & magical. There's something for everyone there. Most importantly it's never as crowded as the regular lounge. Cons: Although everyone is super friendly and attentive. It almost feels like disingenuous & rehearsed. Everyone is repeating the same lines as if they were told what to say which caused me to question and or doubt that they really felt that way. This experience never gets old, it's like adrenaline rushing through your veins, it takes you so high that every time you get on the actual flight DL one cabin, you feel a sense of disappointment. Overall, I never want my flight to be canceled delayed so badly when I am in this lounge. The attention to detail is world class and mastered by the most hardworking patrons. It's truly the 4 seasons of ALL US Airlines lounges. Just when I thought they couldn't compete with Emirates and/or Qatar, DL one lounge surpasses them. It's the only reason why I never regretted paying premium for DL one seat. I just wish that level of service continues in the cabin.

After that things fell apart a bit, with the server bringing one of us the wrong starter followed by a long wait for the correct one. Wine service also largely disappeared, though there were plenty of places outside the restaurant to get drinks. The food on the buffet looked and sounded delicious but suffered from sitting out too long. The food was certainly a step way up from the usual Delta Lounge, but I would in no way compare it to a good fine dining restaurant on the outside. Highlights were the massage chairs and facials. The process for signing up is confusing and the wait can be long if you come at the wrong time, but if you have enough time it's definitely worth it. Other than that, it was reminiscent of a Centurion Lounge - spacious but crowded, with a decent food and drink selection. Nice for an airport lounge, but still an airport lounge.

I admittedly have little experience when it comes to airport lounges, mainly because I'm neurotic…read moreand need to be close to my gate and I never reached any loyalty level with an airline to get access to one. However, in recent years I have had the option to access a few - but even still I'm not hiking across the terminal; it needs to be within close proximity. I recently flew out of JFK Terminal 4, and the Delta Sky Club was super close to my gate. That being said, I decided to check it out. I have no perspective when it comes to lounges, but I will say this Sky Lounge is quite large. The perimeter of the lounge contains a variety of seating types, while the middle contains more seating plus the main food station. The layout is a little confusing, but from what I got it seems to be a big circle...maybe? The setting is pretty nice - seats are comfortable with outlets in convenient locations to juice up. I wouldn't say it was peaceful though, as there were a lot of people there. Even still, nobody was loud or disruptive - just be prepared to be among people. I wasn't hungry so did not partake in food, but what I saw looked good - and they had an impressive variety. Overall, I was impressed with this Delta Sky Club. You're away from a good portion of the craziness and I wouldn't hesitate to spend time here again before another flight.

They had smoothie in a tiny jar but didn't look appealing... They have your typical bagels, hot food w/ eggs, sausage and home fries... I wasn't in the mood. Was looking for lighter stuff but couldn't find the overnight oats/chia seed. So I grabbed coffee and a banana, a little bit of home fries (very bland) and regret getting the cold meat... it was gross. Sadly this location looks a little run down... might be time to refresh. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have other options, go there. Otherwise, this is an alternative to kill time and have a bite to eat.

This was the closest dining establishment that served alcohol by our gate, so we stopped by. It is pretty small and cramped, but we managed to find two seats along the window facing the planes. It was hard to fit in the area as people tend to put bags on seats, etc. Plus the walkway to the kitchen is right there so you feel like you are in the way. Food wise, I liked my salad. Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right. Kinda weak in the liquor and spice department, but fine for sipping. My friend seemed to enjoy his food and cocktail. I wish there were more options in this area of the airport.
