Pan Am's Iconic JFK Terminal Will Definitely Head to the Big Airport in the Sky

The length of Terminal 3 as viewed from its replacement: the extension of Terminal 4

Before moving forward, we look back a moment at the iconic Worldport (Terminal 3), former JFK Airport home of Pan Am and current roof over much of Delta's JFK operation.

Inside the Delta SkyClub at JFK Terminal 3

When you're faced with 14+ hours of sitting still while flying direct from New York to Tokyo, a visit to a nice airport lounge seems like your last chance to really make lemonade of lemons. You might have to be crammed into your seat for the flight with no seat back TVs, but at least you can grab some lunch and a cocktail first, right? Well, only if you pay for it and get to the lounge early enough for a seat; Delta's SkyClub at JFK Terminal 3, near Gate 6 is passable, but it's nothing to write home about, let alone pay extra for.

We fly Delta every so often and thus we occasionally visit one of their lounges. In this instance, we purchased a 1-day pass when Groupon was offering it for 50% off, priced then at $25. For that, we should at least get more than 3 Pretzel Flipz, a seltzer and 2 biscoff cookies, right? Wrong, because that's pretty much it.
