Gameway, the pioneer of airport gaming lounges, recently opened Gameway in John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 5, its second location at JFK and 10th nationwide. Family travelers will appreciate Gameway’s mission to make airport time genuinely enjoyable.

 

“Gameway asks, why wait, when you can game?'” said Emma Walbridge, co-founder, Gameway. “We are thrilled to partner with JetBlue, Hudson/Avolta, and Fraport USA, to welcome summertime travelers with the grand opening of Gameway Ultra in JFK. This is our second location in New York, and our aim is to enhance the traveler’s experience by offering a fun and entertaining alternative at the airport. As a minority owned business, I am also extremely grateful to Fraport USA and JetBlue for giving us the opportunity to bring the Gameway experience to Terminal 5. ”

 

The location blends aviation and pop culture, positioned within JetBlue’s flagship terminal.  Travelers find Xbox, PlayStation, PC and retro stations, plus snacks and drinks, within the modern social space designed for both seasoned gamers and casual players. Visitors get their own gaming station and can choose from current-gen consoles and gaming PCs, with 4-K displays, premium headphones, high-speed WiFi, charging ports and a library of iconic gaming titles. Alcohol is also available for purchase. Sessions are designed around passengers’ flight schedules.

 

“We’re excited to welcome Gameway to JFK T5, a fantastic addition that truly enhances the customer experience,” said Jose Cuevas, vice president, Fraport New York. “This innovative concept gives customers a chance to unwind and enjoy premium gaming in a comfortable, modern environment. As the T5 refresh continues, Gameway reflects the kind of unique, high-quality offerings we’re proud to bring Terminal 5 customers. It’s fun, immersive, and exactly the kind of fresh energy we’re building here at JFK.”

 

Gameway’s 10 lounges operate in major U.S. airports, including Dallas (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), Houston (HOU), Charlotte (CLT) and Detroit (DTW). The newly opened JFK Terminal 5 Gameway Ultra is now available to ticketed passengers daily from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

This Airline Stopover Program is Great for Families

My children and I travel to Europe frequently. For many of our trips, we take Icelandair. Icelandair is comfortable and affordable. Additionally, they offer excellent connectivity between several cities in the United States and European hot spots. Even better, the airline offers perks for families, including discounted fares for children, activity boxes and special meals.
