A passenger reviewing the Delta One Lounge at New York JFK shared her experience on the ground, and up in the air, as much from the perspective of her pooch as from a passenger. Her dog loved the new business class-only space, including the food, showing the pet dining and eating various courses from the table.
The vest the dog is wearing, plus that he’s being allowed out of a carrier not just in the airport but on the plane, suggest he’s being transported as an emotional support animal – though this is clearly not a service dog.
While airlines, under DOT rules, have cracked down on planes as Noah’s Ark with two of each animal, that’s largely just through paperwork and requiring passengers to self-certify their service animals. People still use the loophole to bring various kinds of animals into the cabin, and to bring dogs without paying a pet in cabin fee and without having to keep them in a carrier.
Instead, the dog enjoys Delta’s fully flat seat for its journey.
The overall review of the Delta One lounge at New York JFK that’s offered is positive from the perspective of the passenger, and the dog, but what about the other passengers? The lounge is busy enough it seems that some probably don’t notice, but bringing the dog into the sit-down dining area and having them eat at the table (from the same plates that other customers will eat from, after a wash) surely seems beyond the pale.

Then again I’m not sure whether this is better or worse than shaving over a bowl of soup at Delta’s New York JFK Sky Club.
