The Good
- Convenient location in Terminal 7 with easy access from security
- Solid drink selection with local craft beers on tap
- Usually less crowded than the airline-specific lounges in other terminals
- Connected to Terminal 8 via airside walkway
The Bad
- No showers available at this location
- Food is limited to snacks and light bites rather than full meals
- Terminal 7 is aging and the lounge could use a refresh
Pro Tips
- The Sixpoint craft beers on rotation are brewed right in Brooklyn. Ask the bartender which seasonal release is currently on tap for something unique.
- If you are flying British Airways from Terminal 7, this United Club is an option with Star Alliance Gold status since BA is a oneworld carrier but the lounge accepts Star Alliance members flying United codeshares.
- Mid-morning is the sweet spot. Early departures have cleared out and the afternoon rush has not started yet.
- The fresh-baked cookies that come out around 2:00 PM are the best snack in the lounge. Time your visit accordingly if you have a sweet tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Priority Pass at this United Club?
No. United Clubs do not accept Priority Pass. You need a United Club membership, United Club Infinite card, Star Alliance Gold status on a qualifying flight, or a day pass.
Is this lounge worth visiting before a British Airways flight?
If you have Star Alliance Gold through another program, you may not be eligible here for a BA flight since BA is oneworld. However, if you have a United Club membership or card, you can visit regardless of which airline you are flying.
Will this lounge be affected by Terminal 7 changes?
Terminal 7 is scheduled for eventual renovation or replacement as part of JFK's broader modernization plan. Check current status before your trip as changes may affect lounge availability.
