T5 Rooftop & Wooftop outdoor lounge

"Let me first start off by saying this is not a functioning lounge. It’s nearly a hangout outdoor space that just happens to be at gate 28 terminal 5 JetBlue. Which is funny because while walking to my gate (28) I was pissed that it was sooooo far. I’m like dang I’m getting to old for these long behind walls to airport gates lol. I passed the door to the lounge (which I found to be somewhat discreet) I’m not sure most people even know it’s there. I took a seat at my gate and decided I would check it out once I got myself together. It’s a cute spot to get some air and stretch your legs. They offer some table and chair setups so you can also grab a bite to eat and enjoy it there. Which leads me to this caviot. They don’t offer any service. It’s only an outdoor space. This a no smoking area. Access to all passengers which includes dogs. I did smell a faint smell of urine in one area that the dogs occupy. Nothing crazy. The lounge overlooks some current construction projects so the view isn’t all that pretty. It’s cute and worth the experience if your gate is close by."

"Very nice spot to spend a layover! Tables and chairs are provided with plants to look at."

"I’ve been flying in and out of JFK Terminal 5 for nearly a decade and didn’t know that there was a rooftop lounge until I read something about it online. The door is easy to miss. The lounge has a decent amount of seating and a few tables. If you’re feeling brave you can sit or lay on the artificial turf. If you’re in Terminal 5 and your flight isn’t leaving anytime soon, check out the lounge… if weather permits."

"OK, so like holy moly! I had 3 hours to wait for my flight, the first two I sat in front of the hidden door, without knowing that this place exists! When I finally saw the hidden door, I decided to check it out- this rooftop is amazing! It is pretty hard to see the door but once you find the door, you get free access to a beautiful rooftop where you can breathe some fresh New York air, eat your lunch on the several benches and tables, and have a blast, just before you leave New York. There’s also a small area for your pets. I would highly recommend checking this place out where it is much less crowded and the fresh air is significantly better than what you would breath inside terminal 5."

"Fresh air oasis outside gate 28 in the JetBlue terminal. Yesterday had a major storm hit so there is snow. So nice to be able to breath fresh air! It is easy to miss this door, so it is a bit of a hideaway."
