Lounges Not Worth Your Time

by Adam Stuart | September 9, 2024 | 0 Comments

don’t get to the airport early for these lounges

This post will be updated accordingly:

Atlanta – The Club – The world’s busiest airport’s only Priority Pass lounge. Hopelessly crowded (you might be on a waiting list – and it’s not worth it). The Club is in the attractive F concourse, which is more pleasant than this crowded room. Foreign carriers not affiliated with Delta send their passengers there – ugh!

Dulles Airport – United Clubs – Unless you are trying to get work done, these lounges (3) are exceedingly featureless. They don’t even sport United’s mid-2010s refreshed design which sports faux white marble and clean lines. The food has improved and there are many easy places to work – but they are LIGHT years away from the United Clubs in Denver or Newark and not in the same league as United’s amazing Dulles Polaris lounge.

Boston Logan – The Lounge – Located in Jetblue’s terminal C. This independent lounge is dated and drab. Spend your time in the terminal.

Minneapolis – United Club – Look, it’s way to small!

Orange Country – United Club – Ditto

JFK – Air India – Drab, dated, featureless, nothing attractive about this space. Food is mediocre.

Boston – Air France Lounge – A huge disappointment – windowless, dismal and nowhere near as nice as its Dulles counterpart.

Toronto – Plaza Premium transborder lounge – SO SMALL and CROWDED – avoid!

Vancouver – Air Canada domestic lounge – just a huge disappointment

Houston (IAH) – Centurion lounge – Difficult to fine, no views, crowded, like being in a bunker. The most disappointing in the Centurion network
