21-Jan-2009 |
Lufthansa’s expanded and modernised lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport opened (20-Jan-09) its doors to guests. Covering a floor area of 1,500 sqm on three levels, the new facilities provide twice as much space for Lufthansa’s premium customers as the original lounge before refurbishment.
The new First Class area is located on the third level and is the first of its kind outside the Lufthansa and SWISS hubs at Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich. The area has its own large reception desk, a separate Pre-flight Dinner area where guests can have a meal before their flight departs. Shower rooms are also provided.
The Senator Lounge on the second floor has 124 seats. In the bistro area, snacks, a choice selection of German wines, beers and spirits are served. The Senator Lounge also has bathrooms with bathtubs and showers.
On the lower floor, the Business Lounge can accommodate up to 171 guests. It has a bistro and bar and a separate work area with workstations for business travellers.
Oliver Wagner, Vice President Global Airport Products and Services at Lufthansa said, “The lounge at John F. Kennedy Airport is a walk-in advertisement for Lufthansa on the American continent and is an important component of our 150-million-euro investment programme to upgrade our lounges worldwide. In the first three months of this year alone, we will open seven lounges, including in Mumbai and Paris.”
Access to the Lufthansa lounge in New York is directly behind the security checkpoints in Terminal 1.
