Jfk centurion lounge7/29/2023 ![]() In addition to wine, Emirates also serves beer and hard liquor. We ended our stay with a glass of the Juggernaut. Both were excellent, but the Juggernaut was both of our favorite. As such, staff insisted that we taste both of the new reds: a Juggernaut Hillside Cab and a Grenache/Syrah blend. Each table was also outfitted with a display showcasing Emirates “wine selection.” We asked to try one and as it turned out, the wine selection had recently changed. The Emirates drink selection was good, much better than the Centurion Lounge! For starters, we were greeted with a class of Veuve (Dan was much happier with real Champagne) and Perrier. Our food and drinks (see below) arrived very quick at the Emirates Lounge staff definitely appreciated that flyers are on tight time frames! Since, according to the lounge staff, the evening flight between JKF and DXB is busier, I also posted the lounge’s dinner menu. Lounge patrons could have anything desired by advising the staff. Definitely no need for anything else! While the buffet was closed to “grab-and-go” service, we could see what was on offer, which consisted of the standard breakfast breads, cereals, fruit, etc., which is also displayed on the menu. We both ordered the scrambled eggs dish, which turned out to be quite large and piping hot. ![]() EMIRATES LOUNGE FOOD (AT BREAKFAST)įor our breakfast visit, Emirates offered a grab-and-go buffet and a menu with hot meal service. And the staff, they were awesome, continuously checking on us and brining us literally anything we wanted. It seems that there is usually a buffet in this area open to patrons, but on our visit (probably due to COVID), the buffet was closed to visitors and staff provided whatever we wanted. Instead of sitting in the main seating area, we set up in the kitchen area, which has a number of tables for patron use. Many seats were blocked off on our visit due to COVID protocols, but this should change soon and there was plenty of space even with the blocked off seating. While the seating landscape was a bit tired (see below pictures), three sides of the lounge are windows so patrons have good views of the runway and international planes. THE LOUNGE SET UPįrom entry, the Emirates Lounge at JFK opens up into a very large square, with lots of seating throughout the lounge, from comfy chairs to tables with chairs. FYI – Gold Status holders can bring in 1 guest. Check-in was quick and easy, basically Dan presenting his boarding card and advising that I am his guest. We received access to the lounge because (1) we were flying Emirates and (2) Dan has Gold Status with Emirates thanks to Dan’s Emirates Barclays credit card. ![]() The Emirates Lounge is on the second floor, very close to Gate A5. We both prefer this lounge to the new American Express Centurion Lounge.Įmirates’ JFK Lounge is located in JFK Terminal 4, post-security down Concourse A. Spoiler alert, the Emirates Lounge was great and service was fantastic. After a somewhat disappointing visit to the new American Express Centurion Lounge at JFK two weeks ago, Dan and I made our way to JFK’s Emirates Lounge for a proper breakfast and drinks before departing on Emirates’ morning flight to Dubai. ![]()
