The newly renovated Terminal 8 at JFK airport, New York is getting a boost from British Airways and American Airlines. They have unveiled the Bridge Bar, a unique addition to their joint premium Lounges. The bar is part of the Greenwich Lounge and offers a range of non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails, including the Aviation American Gin and Betty Buzz.
Betty Buzz - founded by actress Blake Lively - uses real juice and no artificial flavours, colours, or sweeteners and offers a selection of sparkling mixers, while Aviation American Gin is a blend of botanicals and is fronted by actor Ryan Reynolds.
The Bridge Bar is designed to give customers a relaxed pre-flight experience and celebrate the love of flying. The open space transports select customers to the Golden Age of Travel, with a mid-century modern design that has a classic 1960s feel. The Greenwich Lounge experience also features the new Tasting Room - which features a high-end taproom. The first brand offered here is Brooklyn Brewery, and passengers can enjoy an array of Brooklyn Brewery products, including beers on draft, and beer flights.
The Greenwich Lounge is available to British Airways Club customers, American Airlines customers traveling on Flagship Business and AAdvantage members with AAdvantage Platinum status who are travelling on Flagship Long Haul International itineraries, and oneworld Sapphire and oneworld Business Class customers.
