Phoenix airport is building a six gate expansion at Terminal 3 North. The upper mezzanine level will have space for a 10,000 square foot lounge.
Plans for a Charlotte Flagship lounge are a long time in coming, but the delay may ultimately be worthwhile because the new design template now seen in Philadelphia is so much nicer than the existing business class lounges.
Nowhere in the country should passengers be easier to accommodate in lounge than New York JFK’s terminal 4, and yet we see 40 minutes to get into several of them at the same time.
When do you leave the airport lounge to head to your gate? One couple was overhead in the arguing over whether it was time to leave. The husband was anxious for awhile, and when it was finally 30 minutes prior to boarding he’d had enough.
San Diego airport is getting an Escape Lounge, which are especially nice common use lounges generally accessible with Priority Pass.
The lounge there will be 24,000 square feet on level 5 of the Courtyard 4 Connector project.. And the airport should be getting ready to release the space for bidding.
United Airlines is moving from concourse A to B in Seattle. This allows airlines with international flights to use the vacated international capable gates on Concourse A. And it’s going to mean opening a new United Club there as well to replace the current one at gate A9.
It will have a Chase, American Express and Capital One lounge along with American’s Admiral’s Club, Flagship business class lounge and Flagship First Dining, plus a The Club and Plaza Premium lounge.
The Mayo Clinic will get its own employee lounge at the Rochester, Minnesota airport. That’s interesting because as best as I can tell it will be the only company-specific airline lounge in operation.
The Qantas lounge is the best business class lounge option in London Heathrow’s Terminal 3 for oneworld. The Cathay business class lounge is good! But during the hours where Qantas is doing sit down dining it’s a cut above. And it’s certainly better than the British Airways and American Airlines lounges.
