Our flight from Miami landed at JFK at around 10AM, while our connection to Abu Dhabi was departing at 2:30PM. This required switching terminals, as we landed in American's Terminal 8, while Etihad operates out of Terminal 4. Taking the train system between terminals was pretty quick, though then we found ourselves in the mess…

Lucky, the picture of the soft drink counter is labelled as Etihad Lounge JFK sweets
You know, I pass through JFK Terminal 4 several times a month but I never see the Etihad lounge after the security screening. Do you go to the right or to the left? Then again, I've never been there yet though hopefully someday I will. Did you guys see the 'private room' dedicated to the Residence passenger? I heard it was within a wall?
I'm normally in JFK Terminal 4 because I fly Delta fairly frequently. If I am going during the busy period of Terminal 4 and flying Delta, I always do my security screening in Terminal 2 which is significantly shorter and then take the JFK Jitney bus to Terminal 4. I think only Delta passengers can do that though.
Anyway, that Etihad lounge looks great and I highly doubt that lounge ever runs out of food. 😉 Hopefully they didn't run out of your food choices up in the air. Two friends recently flew AUH-JFK on EY apartments and both told me their first and second food choices were gone by the time they ordered.
By the way, from your description it seems like you can't board from the EY lounge directly to the A380? I know JFK Emirates lounge you can do that.
@patrick smith- lucky flew on Etihad Christmas Day. They had the decorations up. I lived in Abu Dhabi for a long time and come December you'd see Christmas trees everywhere. Malls, hotels, etc. it was always amusing.
I've enjoyed the Etihad JFK lounge. Beautiful and excellent service. Highly recommend
Wow, the lounge does sound great for a US lounge! What was the Champagne that was on offer? What other wines did they have? I drink wine and not liquor so was wondering what the options were. Thank you!
Is it possible or realistic to use this as an arrivals lounge from the inbound AUH-JFK flight in F? Our connecting flight departs at 12pm to CLT, not sure from which terminal....
You kept saying "our" and "we" but didn't say who this additional person was until nearly the end of the post (i.e., Ford). Strange.
Joey - the Etihad lounge is on the left after security, you just have to keep going all the way to the end and its on the right hand side. But the lounge isn't really visible from the security area.
Lucky - the lounge has added another item to the a la carte menu - the Baharat spiced rack of lamb. That was possibly the best lamb dish I have ever tried. The lounge, the service (including the staff taking incredible care of the 3 kids of a family that was seated near me), the food - everything was just amazing.
I had the biryani in the lounge as l thought l might not get it onboard. I loved almost everything about the lounge. Only downside was it was packed to the rafters when I flew.
Hello, FWIW, all the cocktails named after locations have been discontinued. Am actually posting this from the lounge at JFK right now. Sad but true. Food a bit limited as well but service top notch.
When is the lounge open? Information said it opens at 6:00, and it's 7:30 and still locked up tight. I have an 8 hour layover and need some place to sit and work on the internet. Very frustrating!
