Qatar Airways will launch its first U.S. luxury lounge at JFK’s new Terminal One in 2026, following its recognition as the World’s Best Airline 2025 by Skytrax. Spanning 15,000 square feet, the premium facility will feature VIP check-in, private pods, prayer rooms, children’s play areas, gourmet dining, and direct gate access. Relocating from Terminal 8, the move strengthens Qatar’s U.S. footprint with 18 weekly flights and elevates New York’s role as a global hub.
