I have close to a 9-hour layover at JFK (I'll be meeting a friend and we'll take the next flight together.) I'll be arriving and departing from Terminal 7, which has the Alaska Lounge.
However, the conditions on the Priority Pass mention I can stay there for only 3 hours before the flight. I have not seen those terms listed on the Alaska Lounge website. Has anyone validated this time limit?
If there is a limit, then what are some other options I should look at?
It's not listed on Alaska's site because it's a Priority Pass condition.
Whether or not it's fully enforced is a different question. I haven't tried but it will depend wholly on the attentiveness of the staff and scanner if they use one.
You can always just buy a Day Pass for ~$45, which, for over nine hours, is quite reasonable.
If you don't mind going landside, you can try to access the Wingtips lounge in Terminal 4 or one of the lounges in Terminal 1. You're not really supposed to be able to do this, but... I've heard hearsay, unconfirmed stories that it is possible. If they turn you away, don't argue. There is no airside transfer at JFK you can use.
