But this one will be a little different.
The carrier on Tuesday announced plans to open a grab-and-go outpost, named Provisions by Admirals Club, inside its Terminal 8 hub. The new facility is expected to open by the end of this year.
It's a similar concept to the quick-service club that debuted last summer in Charlotte , though it sounds like this JFK location will be, well, better.
The Provisions outpost at JFK will offer hot and cold meals and snacks. Plus, it will sport a full-service barista coffee bar featuring Lavazza coffee, which American made its signature espresso brand last year.
This should be a welcome addition to American's Terminal 8 lounge lineup.
The carrier already has a full-service Admirals Club lounge at JFK, plus the trio of premium lounges it jointly operates with British Airways.
This new grab-and-go setup will be near Gate 12 and accessible via an escalator downstairs from Concourse B, where many of the airline's long-haul flights depart.

Permanent grab-and-go lounge locations can help reduce crowding in the full-scale clubs; members who are only looking for a cup of coffee and a quick bite can skip the main lounge and pass through Provisions without taking up coveted seats.

American first rolled out the Provisions by Admirals Club concept at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in August. I visited last fall and found it a useful way to quickly grab something to eat and drink, even if it was a no-frills experience overall.
It appears this JFK location will have more frills ... and space.
It'll measure 3,700 square feet and accommodate up to 40 guests.
As for the amenities, there's the aforementioned coffee bar that'll offer "customizable" Lavazza hot and iced coffee drinks, American said.
Members will also be able to snag meal boxes, sandwiches, salads and snacks.
Plus, the airline will staff the mini-club with customer service representatives, so travelers passing through can get the same assistance they'd get in a regular lounge.
If you're an Admirals Club member, you'll be eligible to enter the JFK Provisions by Admirals Club location; this includes AAdvantage members who get their access via American's premium credit card.
