The 9 Best Airline Lounges

by Adam Last updated January 1, 2014

This list from the Daily Meal judged the clubs on amenities, food and drink, and design and structural innovation…which makes it all the more surprising that two US based airline clubs made the list – the United Club at IAH and the AA Admirals Club at LAX. Several of the “regulars” made the list as well including the Turkish Airlines CIP Lounge at IST (I still need to visit this one) and the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in FRA. Anyway, check out the full list below and the accompanying article here. I’m not really sure why it’s the top 9 instead of 10, but there are several “best” clubs missing from the list including the impressive Emirates A380 First Class Lounge in Dubai and the SilverKris Private Room in Singapore.

Adam is the proud Founder and CEO of both Point Me to the Plane and point.me. An international consultant turned TV programming strategist, Adam currently works full-time on both websites. His obsession with points and miles dates back to his freshman year at college. After browsing Flyertalk and Mileage Workshop, Adam pulled the trigger and signed up for his first Citibank AAdvantage credit card and MCI phone line (yes, landlines still existed). Back then, both deals were churnable and in no time at all, the college freshman had enough miles to travel to Europe and Asia in First Class for free, multiple times. Needless to say, he was hooked! Fast forward a few years and Adam of course ended up in a career with a heavy travel requirement…which meant extra miles for awards! As his colleagues and friends started to hear about and see pictures from his trips, they wanted in on the secret and Adam began to assist them with their bookings, Juicy Miles was born. At the same time, Adam started an email newsletter to prevent those less obsessed co-workers from squandering their point collection opportunities. The bi-weekly email covered everything from upcoming promotions, guidance on maximizing points, and redemption advice. The distribution quickly expanded outside the office and Point Me to the Plane became a BoardingArea blog.

Despite all the bashing over British food (Well deserved) I still pick the Concorde Room as the ability to have a cabana and the privacy that allows me to shower and lounge naked tops my list……….
