BA Press Release

So the date of the long awaited move is over.

AA has been working on expansion of T8 to include new gates, premium check-in area and lounge expansion / upgrades.

Move of BA to T8 is part of plan to redevelop the terminals at JFK. T7 will be demolished and a mega terminal built on the sites of T7 and the former T6 with links to T5. Also coincides with the lease on T7 ending.

Lounge provision will be as follows

“The most exclusive lounge will have an all-new champagne bar, fireside lounge and a la carte dining room, which reimagines American’s Flagship First Dining into a fully immersive experience.

“Adjacent, another premium lounge — with sweeping airside views, a wine bar, cocktail lounge, library and buffet — will offer an elevated, lively experience.

“American’s Flagship Lounge and Concourse B Admirals Club will be repurposed into a contiguous lounge for eligible business class customers.
