I am new to Lounge Passes and may upgrade just to get one for an upcoming trip. I have all my trip details and am reaching out to support@trustedhousesitters.com with my questions but wanted to query this forum about this particular airport.
I have a 2.75 hour layover at JFK flying Delta/KLM from Europe. However, in the third party loungpass.com site they say to look up lounges from, it only lists an Air India as the only available lounge at terminal 4. Does that mean that lounge will honor my Delta ticket? I do have the 72 hour window clear for TH to make the arrangement.
I just don’t know if it is worth the upgrade whether this will even work or not. Any advice?
My advice is to just purchase a day pass to the Delta lounge at JFK. They usually have a price for it listed on their website somewhere. I think it will be still be cheaper than upgrading your membership, and the lounge passes THS has are only for certain lounges which may not be convenient for your flight.
If your layover is long enough I find even the day pass rate for lounge access is worth it.
There is a list on the site of what lounges are available and yes you can use a lounge owned by a different airline then the one you are flying if you have the pass. BUT, I am very familiar with Kennedy. If I had a 3 hour pass, I could find other stuff to do there. There are massage kiosks, great wifi, and many shops and restaurants. But there’s more!
The best way you could kill a couple of hours would be to visit the TWA Hotel. They have not inexpensive deals to hang out poolside and enjoy a cocktail or two. Or you could visit for free, people watch in the lobby and check out the vintage planes, and onsite museum displays of flying fashion in days gone by and airline history. It’s really worth the trip!
There are some sites that might offer reduced day passes for the pool!
It is off-site but walkable from the airport so not an option if you can’t leave because it means going through security/customs.
I have premium and haven’t used the lounge passes yet! I got it with my combined account to have maximum claim coverages and the cancellation plan.
The lounge pass you get from THS has nothing to do with the airline you’re flying, although they will probably ask to see your boarding pass. I’ve found that the lounges available via THS are of limited availability - some airports have none and others only have one, and they are at the lower end of the range of cost and quality so if you’re not interested in the other Premium perks then it makes sense to see if it’s worthwhile to just purchase a lounge pass outright in Terminal 4. The value of the 2 yearly passes via the Premum membership is about 80 euros.
Typical Bait and Switch offer, which all businesses when they reach a certain level of success seem to engage in. Dazzle with a great promise, deliver a meager and minimal version. Instead of becoming more decent and integrous, they join the ranks of other exploiter, profit above people businesses.
