I travel the world Part 36: Lounge Battle LAX vs. LHR vs. MIA

in food •  8 years ago  (edited)

Travelling more than a pilot comes with it's own perks. I have racked up several airline club memberships so today I will guide you trough Lounges I have been to recently or a while ago.

So the 3 Lounges today are: Miami American Airlines Admiral Club, London BA Firstclass Lounge and Los Angeles AA Firstclass Lounge

Miami has gone through a lot improvements, the new ESTA Kiosk are super convenient and faster than the normal cue. So once you arrive always do the Immigration process yourself at a ESTA KIOSK.

The Admiral Clubs of American Airlines are undergoing renovations and I really like the result. The Lounge is spacious and I even received 4 drink vouchers for Wine, Beer or Softdrinks.

I used my frequent flyer miles to upgrade my flight to Business Class. I slept 80% of the flight, and was really happy with the new seats.

So while the AA Lounge in Miami is really nice, it's just a business class lounge. But the lounge staff is super friendly. 

The BA Lounge in London is huge and offers a lot food but I rate it 7/10 for the overall Lounge concept etc.

My winner ist the Los Angeles AA First Class Lounge. The cook has prepared everything in an open kitchen, and it's really delicous. They have monthly changing chefs, so there is always some variety in their food offering!
