At the AC in JFK are there computers also to use, or just WiFi?
Also is there a bar? Free or not?

They had computers for use when I was there 1 1/2 years ago.
Bar, yes. Don't know about free.

Both AC's have complimentary domestic beer.
They also have some complimentary hard alcohol but that stuff is really weak.

Absolutely (depends of course on how busy it is)

I have actually had some success asking attendants to open a conference room that wasn't in use to daven -- explained that I was looking for a quiet place for 20 or 30 minutes to say my morning prayers.

One of the lounges I was in recently (can't remember which one) had a "Quiet Room" which was likewise a good place to daven before an early AM flight. When in with my son, only to be joined shortly thereafter by someone else doing the same thing. We held out hope for a few mins that we'd get a minyan

Upon request I've heard of a TSA/airport employee opening a private room.

Only place I flew recently with my son was LGA-MIA -- so I guess it had to be the Admirals Club at LGA. In the back corner (far left) there was some kind of "Quiet Room" or perhaps conference that happened to be open. Three of us were davening in there before the AM flight.

AFAIK there are 2 lounges in T8...which one do i go to for domestic flights? ( i saw online one said it was 3 levels up what does that mean?)

does this offer free alcohol or snacks?

smaxber · « **Reply #35 on:** January 24, 2014, 06:03:10 AM »

First time a lounge- no alcohol till 8 am :/

Also I just walked right in. Didn't need to show a card

I have my wife's AA credit card with the admirals club seal on the back will they check if my name matches the card in JFK?
I know AU cannot get in I'm asking if I can slip in with the primary card.

Reviving an old thread bc this looks like the right place to post. Is there a difference between the 2 admirals clubs in JFK? If yes, which one is better?

The showers in the second club are better than the showers in the club which shares with the flagship.. Otherwise they are about even.
