Chelsea Lounge
One of the best
An incredible experience. This partnership by American Airlines and British Airways brings luxurious dining, champagne, and top-notch service to JFK. Even watered down at times by small misses here and there, this is a must-do.

This lounge features
Full a la carte dining with restaurant-style service, offering high-quality dishes like short rib and French toast; quality can be inconsistent at times.
Small dessert snack area (the main attraction is the dining a la carte).
Extensive champagne selection including Krug and other premium options; full-service bar with high-end spirits like Clase Azul tequila; knowledgeable bartenders create custom cocktails.
Three shower suites available, though cleanliness and maintenance can be inconsistent; occasional waits due to shared cleaning staff with neighboring lounge.
Nap room features secluded bungalows with comfortable chaise lounges, though limited in number.
Pro tips
Ask for the rotating Signature Series champagne
Ask the bartender which Chelsea Signature Series bottle is being poured. The rotating premium selection may be absent from the printed champagne menu; the available label changes, so don’t count on a particular bottle.
Rest behind the dining area
The quiet area behind the dining room has chaise loungers and softer lighting for a short rest. Its thin curtains offer little privacy, so expect a shared rest area rather than an enclosed sleeping room.
