@harryt. If you are transiting to another CX J flight, then the array of excellent Business lounges (CX and others) are available to you!

Regarding the now closed lounge it was the case of nothing is better than something! Coming directly from a F cabin to that miserable hole was indescribably awful. The idea of freshening up with a shower etc before venturing into town to arrive for a (hopefully) early check-in seemed a good idea ...

Is this lounge usable for direct AMS- JFK flights on Swiss?

Are the rules fir International carry-on changing also?

Seriously impressed by the soft product. I would have enjoyed the meal provided although way too much meat! Could see the usual suspects here having heart palpitations at the idea of splurging that much meat per passenger! The amenities kit looked better than many too.
