The brand new American Airlines Flagship Lounge at New York JFK Airport is a new and welcome addition to the lounge scene at Kennedy airport.
The new lounge shows off the new Flagship First Dining concept, and there is do-it-yourself full self-service cocktail bar.
Access for frequent flyers has also got easier, with access for all oneworld elites (except for AA elites), which includes Silver BA and Gold Qantas passengers. It is no longer the ultra elite lounge it used to be, but much larger and so seems less crowded.
The lounge has a totally new design, with various different zones, giving different seating options and environments to suit passengers moods.
However it is the new bar and dining room which will get the most attention. It is the first restaurant-style dining option to be offered by an airline in the US, catching up on offerings at lounges operated by British Airways and Qantas.
