Flying can be an exhausting and confusing experience, from long security lines to the endless search for a power outlet. That’s why American Airlines offers four unique lounges for its customers in Terminal 8 of John F. Kennedy International Airport. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax before your flight or just need somewhere to plug in your laptop, these lounges have something for everyone! We had the opportunity to visit both the Chelsea lounge and the Admirals club during our layover at JFK on our way to Tenerife.
