Lounging at The Airport: US Airways Club

April 30, 2009 at 9:56 AM | by kjb | 0 Comments

Airport lounges promise respite from the sad public seating at the gates and the unhealthy diet offerings of the terminal food courts. But of course, at a premium price. All week long at Jaunted we will be detailing what it costs to lounge at the big domestic airline lounges. Got any suggestions or tips? Let us know.

US Airways Club
· How Much: $40 will get you access to the club for a day, but if you need a 90-day membership that's available for $120. Individual annual memberships are $390, and $590 for both you and your significant other.
· Internet Access: Wireless, high-speed internet access is available, but they don't specify if it's free. They use T-Mobile Hot Spots, but some clubs, like the ones in BOS and PHX, don't even list WiFi as an amenity. This is not the club for the tech-savvy.

· Beverages: Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages. Booze is extra here, usually about $5 per drink.
· Snacks: Free snacks are available, and are usually something like pretzels, chips, or crackers. Don't go in thinking you'll be able to have a solid lunch at the club.
· Other Amenities: Newspapers and other periodicals are available. They seem to brag about having cable television, but it could just be one TV permanently tuned to CNN. There's workstations with dataports, fax machines, copiers, and shredders.
· What To Watch Out For: Domestically there are only 14 cities that have clubs, but some of the larger airports like CLT, PHX, and PHL feature three lounges within the airport. Conference rooms are available at select clubs, but you won't be able to take a shower�there are none.
