T+L Editors Are Obsessed With These Airport Lounges — and Some Have Spas, Gardens, and Dog-friendly Amenities

So much of plane travel can be stressful. Whether it’s the race to the airport, the interminable security lines, or the fear of flying itself, there are plenty of ways for anxiety to build.
One surefire way to reduce that unease is to access a nice airport lounge, as many come with fun views of plane activity, free food and drink, and even amenities like massages or saunas. Whether you’re looking to try an airport lounge for the first time or keen to experience an impressive spot with unique facilities, Travel + Leisure editors have picked their favorites from around the world.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
Near Gate 28 at the JetBlue Terminal, this 4,000-square-foot outdoor garden is not only open to all passengers, but you can also take your dog there. One corner is designated as a pet-relief area and called a “wooftop.”

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
With a menu by chef Alain Ducasse, a Sisley Paris spa space, and a private check-in lounge, the Air France La Premiere lounge at CDG is a super-luxe experience. During my transfer at CDG, a crewmember whisked me down to the tarmac to drive me from the plane directly to the lounge, where everything was taken care of for me. My only complaint is not having enough time there!
— Elizabeth Rhodes, Senior Editor
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL)
Hawaiian Airlines' Apartment 1929 Lounge is the perfect place to rest and relax before your upcoming flight out of paradise. Not only do you get access to two private indoor and outdoor spaces, but you also get an entire meal that you select online days in advance, a chauffeur through security, and a drop off directly at your gate when it’s time for wheels up.
— Jalyn Robinson, Assistant Editor
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
As a Seattle native, I miss the views of Mount Rainier (Mountain's out!), but Delta's Sky Club (Concourse A near gate 1) offers a breathtaking view of Ranier through its wall of 30-foot windows. With two levels and 21,000 square feet, I can always find the perfect perch to take in the vista and enjoy one last bowl of Ivar's award-winning clam chowder (with bacon!) — a Seattle classic since 1938 — until my next visit to the Emerald City. Bonus: Delta's announced a second 23,000-plus-square-foot Delta Sky Club at SeaTac's A Concourse will open in 2025.

Istanbul Airport (IST)
This lounge has so many food stations I felt like I was visiting a food market and not killing time at an airport. It's spacious, has lots of seating (including pods to work with isolated privacy), and you can even queue up to rent a mini room to sleep and shower.
