MIAMI AIRPORT LOUNGE WINDOWS

Not very private, but having access to desktop computers is a plus. I was pretty lucky that it wasn’t so crowded when I first arrived. Only one side of this lounge has windows, but I still found it to be very bright with a good amount of natural light. I wouldn’t go as far as to call the decor unique though – from certain angles I could have sworn that I was in the ORD Admirals Club. This bar-like setting would be a great place to bang out a trip report I reckon. Varied seating options are always a good thing. I couldn’t detect any “new car smell” though. Everything looked super-clean and brand new. Looks pretty nice for a domestic airline lounge! You won’t have a hard time finding a place to sit in here. The decor is consistent with other Admirals Club’s that I’ve experienced at ORD at SFO, but it appears as if this one at MIA had been updated recently – everything felt new and squeaky clean. Right away this place gave me a very good vibe – it was clean, bright, and most importantly…quiet (at least it was when I arrived). While while this Admirals Club did not even come close to comparing to other flagship lounges such as the Virgin Atlantic clubhouse at LHR (not that I was expecting it to), it was certainly on par with other nice lounges such as the Delta sky club at JFK. This is, after all, American Airline’s premier US hub, so it would seem as if this would be the place that they would want to offer their best lounge experience. The main entrance to the American Airlines Admirals Club here at MIA (up one level from the departure gates).īefore going in, I was kind of expecting this lounge to be on the higher-end side of things. Spoiler alert: since a short 1 hour layover is usually enough time in Miami, this lounge offers a convenient opportunity to dip out of the main terminal and get into some relative peace and quiet between flights.

With nothing else to do, a visit to the Admirals Club (near gate D30) seemed like a great way to kill some time.

Unfortunately, while MIA is a fantastic place for people watching, it is not so good for plane spotting due to the double-layer windows in the terminals (every gate is an international gate with a segregated walkway for incoming passengers). To be perfectly honest though, I’d rather be out in the main terminal plane spotting and people watching than sitting in the lounge doing nothing. It’s not very often that I find myself inside a domestic airline lounge these days, but it is fun every now and then to check out the latest offerings from the major US airlines.
