Wow! Def a huge upgrade on this lounge! It's super clean. Organized. Not overly crowded, and it's a holiday weekend. The food was good. The warm food could be better but not bad. At all. The desserts were excellent! DO NOT SKIP THE BROWNIES...! Def well worth the wait.

If you are expecting a "premium" lounge offering, you may be disappointed. It's basically a nice, quiet, comfortable seating area with limited food options. Pros: - Lots of space relative to number of folks - Seating area was nice/comfortable with lots of windows - Check-in staff was friendly Cons: - Limited food offering at dinner (8pm) and exactly the same as the standard Greenwich lounge. I moved to the Greenwich lounge hoping to see a few more options -- and they had the same spread as the Soho lounge (just more of it) - No dietary markings for any of the food items if you have allergies, and the staff was unaware of ingredients - The coffee machine is still broken! I saw a review from 7 months ago mentioning it was out of order

Currently on a stop over at JFK T8 and very much enjoying my time in the BA/AA Soho Lounge. The lounge is vast, bright and feels very cosy. It’s super quiet at the moment which is nice but I suspect it gets quite busy at peak times. The food selection is rather good and so are the drinks. There are showers, a relaxing room with lounge chairs for a more comfortable sleep, phone booths and a bar. There’s also a fireplace! Nice touch.

This is a large but busy lounge. There’s a few different areas though whether you wanting to relax or dine, and the section with fireplace is a great touch. I didn’t think the selection of food available at the buffet is overly great, but there are hot options available to order via the QR codes which are more impressive. It’s a staffed bar with a wide range of drinks and cocktails and the staff are all friendly. Reserving a shower was a little bizarre, which you do at the desk near the entrance but with seemingly no time slot, so you still have to queue, but they’re large and spacious with nice touches like Dyson hairdryers. It’s a dimly lit space and relaxing so ideal ahead of a long flight especially if you’re looking for some sophistication.

Quiet, large, and comfy lounge with excellent food and beautiful views of the tarmac. If you are either an elite status member or flying in Flagship First/Business or with a OneWorld alliance airline, you can get access to this lounge. The food is incredible: excellent chicken, some of the juiciest salmon, the best tortellini with charred green onions that I may have ever had, and so much more. Desserts that are incredible all line one area as well. Seating is plentiful with charging outlets at every point. There are excellent showers as well to use as long as you register at the front.
