A new JFK is taking flight

27 Apr 2017

British Airways is investing in Terminal 7, to bring you a better journey when you fly from New York JFK airport.

A more contemporary environment, a better choice of food and new lounges are just some of the things you can expect, bringing you a smoother, more efficient journey through the airport.

The entire airport experience is undergoing an upgrade between now and the end of 2018 – from the check-in concourse, to security, shopping, eating, lounges and the departure gates.

While construction of a new Premium Zone is taking place from May to Autumn 2017, the First check-in will be temporarily moved to a new area, adjacent to its previous location.

Find out more about the changes we are making at New York JFK, and how they will benefit you.

The lounge gives guests the opportunity to start their journey in style, whether they begin with a stop at the complimentary bar, where they’ll find one of our in-house mixologists and take in the panoramic views of the Boston skyline or relax in a sense-tingling luxurious shower, featuring new rain shower technology.
