![]() The speakeasy is a stark contrast from the modern and well-lit lounge. Lower level bar area & entrance to the "1850" Speakeasy Of course, I had read countless reviews so knew exactly what it was. Other than the date, there was nothing else indicating what was behind the mysterious wooden door. This is located right at the entrance of the "1850" speakeasy. Main level bar areaĪt the end of the lower level (immediately below the main level bar) is the second bar area. This is your typical Centurion bar, nothing super unique here. Immediately adjacent to the main (upper) level dining area is the first of three bars at the lounge. I'm grateful to be able to fill my stomach at a relaxing and spacious location before a long trans-continental flight! Dining at the JFK Centurion Lounge The Bars & The "1850" Speakeasy Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. JFK Centurion LoungeĮven the receptionist was taken aback by the traffic, saying he's never seen a crowd like this since the lounge opened. However, it was a Sunday evening close to the holiday travel rush, so I did see a considerable crowd inside the lounge. The process was smooth and I did not have to wait. I checked in exactly 3 hours before my boarding time, since I wanted to maximize my time at the lounge. Note that food & beverage service will stop around 30 minutes prior to lounge closing, so be sure to arrive a little earlier if you plan to eat! Key Amenities The JFK Centurion Lounge is currently open daily between 6AM - 9PM. Check out my full review on the Amex Platinum card. Platinum authorized users also get lounge access via their own cards. Additionally, you will only be admitted within 3 hours of your departure time, unless you have a connecting flight.Ĭurrently, cardholders are allowed 2 complimentary guests, but that will soon be changing in 2023. The Centurion Lounge is open for Platinum (Personal, Business, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, etc.), Delta Reserve (when flying Delta), and Centurion (Black Card) cardholders with same-day boarding pass on any airline. Thankfully, with TSA PreCheck and CLEAR memberships, I was able to bypass the long lines and speed through security! The only exception is for Terminal 2, where there is an airside bus between the two terminals. JFK terminals are not connected air-side, so you will need to exit security, transfer via the AirTrain, and re-clear security to get on your flight. If you are not flying out of Terminal 4, you can technically still enter the Centurion Lounge, but it is not advised due to lengthy security lines and long transit times between terminals. Terminal 4 is home to Delta, Asiana, China Airlines, China Southern, Emirates, Etihad, KLM, Singapore, Swiss and various international carriers. After clearing security, turn right and walk to the end of the terminal area (don't go down escalators!), right next to the Etihad lounge. The JFK Centurion Lounge is located immediately past the JFK Terminal 4 central security screening area. The lounge also feature unique amenities such as an Equinox Body Lab and a speakeasy. At more than 15,000 square feet and spanning two entire floors, the American Express Centurion Lounge at JFK's Terminal 4 is one of the newest and largest in the network. ![]()
