[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "private" sky clubs are an overcrowded joke; full of misers and gross food.[/quote]

Kind of true.  The food isn’t great, [b]but who doesn’t like a free beer, cocktail or coffee? [/b] I do like theUnited Club in Denver.  Only been there once, but got a roomy layout and is nicely designed.[/quote]

Nothing is free. [/quote]

You have to pay for kids in most lounges.  Some cards and club restrict it to one free guest.  It's not worth it IMHO unless it's a long layover and you need to have access to wifi, nicer bathroom facilities, snacks/beverages.  I once was delayed with my kids for 6 hours and paying for them was definitely worth it.  Some cards give you free passes for guests based on CC spending.  On shorter layovers you won't have time to enjoy the lounge, better to have one of you go in there and bring out that coffee or a snack. [/quote]

Bought a lifetime United Club membership (Red Carpet Club at the time) back when those were offered.  Cost was maybe $2k, but it happened a while ago.  Saved me a pile of money over time versus annual membership fees. One of my best ROI purchases ever.   I still can bring in either 1 unrelated colleague - or all family who are traveling with me - as guests at no additional charge.  And it also gets lounge access for me - and any family traveling with me - at Star Alliance lounges, provided we are departing same day same airport on a Star Alliance airline.  [/quote]
