Following two years of construction at John F. Kennedy International Airport's Terminal 4, Swiss International Air Lines is reopening its premium lounge.
Scheduled to open in early March, the lounge will serve as a pre-departure hangout for Swiss' top passengers, as well as premium and elite travelers on other Star Alliance airlines.
The new lounge aims to be a representation of Switzerland with the goal of immersing passengers in a Swiss-style atmosphere before even boarding their flight on the flag carrier.
Everything from the design of the lounge to the menu has been curated with the mountainous country in mind, with materials even being shipped in from Switzerland to complete the aesthetic.
Situated in the base of Terminal 4, the lounge also offers unobstructed views of the neighboring tarmac and JFK Airport's iconic air traffic control tower.
