Why showers decides the pick at JFK
John F. Kennedy International has 26 lounges in our directory and 17 of them are photographed and scored on shower suites. Shower scores reflect how many suites there are, whether you can walk in or must queue, and how well they are kept between guests. This ranking sorts those 17 by their showers score alone, with the overall rating breaking ties, so a lounge that is merely fine everywhere else can still win here.
