Prime Class lounge is great as well and only costs $23. You can shower there, relax, free drinks, massage chairs.....

I got in using priority pass. It had a 4 hour limit but no one kicked me out after 4 hours.

Lol and yes I meant the lounge. I'm traveling with wife and 18 month old. Do I need to pay for my son? Is it worth the money? 3 hour stopover from tlv to jfk

FYI, if you're flying Turkish and have a 6+ hr layover, they'll take you on a tour of Istanbul.

Huge fruit section there and lot of drinks / beers.

Otherwise, I don't think you'll find anything kosher there.

Does anyone know what hours the lounge operates?

I land at 3am and my next flight out is a 7am. And chance the lounge opens before 5 as it says on their website? And any other lounge that opens before 5 that I can go to before THE lounge opens. TIA
