American Express Centurion Lounge JFK Terminal 4 Review (2026): The Cult Lounge at Six Years
The Centurion Lounge at JFK Terminal 4 turned six this spring, still the most discussed and most aggressively rationed premium lounge in New York. We logged five visits between February and May 2026 across the worst peak windows and the quietest red-eye lulls to see whether the 2026 chef rotation, the Equinox Body wellness room, and the new access rules have caught up to a space that the Centurion network has been visibly defending against its own popularity.
