Insider tip: shower availability is one area where reservations genuinely help. The Centurion Lounge at JFK Terminal 4, for example, can run a 60-minute waitlist for showers during the morning international departure bank. If you know you'll need a shower, book it the moment you sit down rather than after lunch.
