As long as you have a valid ticket, it doesn't matter which terminal you're flying out of. I've done the same thing when I've had long layovers.

The problem may be, though, if you're flying on an airline that isn't the lounge's airline and not in their "alliance" (Star, oneworld, SkyTeam) on at least one leg of your trip, the lounge may not let you in. In fact, it's likely they won't.

Mine isn't airline dependent. The specific problem with JFK

is that the terminals are not connected to each other post-security. In some airports, I have been able to clear security in a terminal when they are connected and it is possible to get to my flight from that entry point post-security. In this case, however, there is no way to get to my flight, for example, from Terminal 1 without having to exit security, so I'm not sure how that will be treated.

Have you had that experience where the terminals were not connected?

Have not, but would be very surprised that they check that

Who knows though - the three NYC area airports seem to have their own rules sometimes.

Really shouldn't be an issue as long as you have a valid

boarding pass. I've frequently gone through security at a different terminal than I'm flying from. Granted, they are usually connected, but I don't see why it would be an issue.
