American Airlines Admirals Club

Not bad

Not bad

This is an extraordinarily mediocre Admirals Club. It's also far from gates unless you are leaving from the midfield concourse. It's a shame that AA did not update this lounge as the Premium Lounges are excellent here at JFK. If you have access to those, use them instead.
