Review: New York JFK BA 1st Class Concorde Lounge

It’s always nice to get upgraded by British Airways, but even better when it’s to first class!

I’ve just eaten in the Concord Lounge in New York’s JFK Airport, having been asked to take my flight an hour later, in return for a 1st class seat.

The service is polite and efficient.

The decor is all natural browns and you can dine before your flight at booth-like tables, selecting food from a three course menu which has three choices for each course.

I had an excellent crab cake followed by a well cooked chicken jalfrezi curry with pineapple pilau rice and all the gubbins.

Desert, again from a choice of three, was a pumpkin flan with a nice dollop cream on top that didn’t last long on my plate!

That’s it really. Nothing negative to report. Just good service and very good food.

Exactly what you’d expect from British Airways at first class prices……even if you aren’t paying them!
