The Runway Chalet is now open at The Pool Bar on the roof of the landmark 512-room TWA Hotel, the only on-airport hotel at JFK International Airport. The 1960s ski lodge-themed getaway is serving food (think charcuterie and sizzling burgers) and drinks. The tented and heated bar, complete with fireplace, is offering peak views of the runway while sipping on a hot toddy or hot chocolate with a kick. And if that’s not enough you can take a dip in the heated pool.
