The Greenwich Lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Terminal 8 is a premium business class lounge operated by American Airlines as part of a joint venture with British Airways, accessible to eligible Oneworld passengers. Located past security above Gate 12, the lounge operates daily from 4:15 AM to 1:15 AM. The lounge occupies a substantial 27,000 square feet, accommodating up to 590 guests across various zones, including a main seating area with tarmac views, private booths, a quiet room, and specialized bar areas like 'The Tasting Room' and 'The Bridge Bar.'
