The lounge is laid out over two levels with floor-to-ceiling windows and runway views, and it adds showers and a Clarins treatment area offering facials and relaxation treatments. Air France La Première and Business passengers, Flying Blue Gold and Platinum members and SkyTeam Elite Plus members enter on their ticket or status. Priority Pass members get up to 3 hours outside the 13:00–17:00 peak, and you can book a LoungeDeal pass for a 2-hour visit. The JFK airport directory lists hours of 07:00 to 22:00 daily. Air France moves to New Terminal One when it opens in early 2027.
Crowding · comfortable
Good enough for an hour of email. Wi-Fi, TV and newspapers cover the basics, and the two-level layout gives you a choice between cosy seating areas and communal spaces, so a quieter corner is usually easy to find.
This is a lounge for a proper meal. Air France sets out complimentary hot and cold buffets alongside snacks, and the full bar is included, as are soft drinks. If you are flying overnight to Europe, eating here lets you skip the onboard meal service and sleep sooner.
Clear security in Terminal 1 and head to Level 3. The lounge is beside the Air France boarding area at Gate 1.
