Interesting tale and pretty good journalism to boot

Bargain of the century for the wealthy.

The downside being you had to fly American Airlines.

My one and only experience of AA business class was NYK-LHR. My fears for the terrible quality of the product were first aroused when I arrived in the lounge to be presented with two raffle tickets, one for my free drink and the other for my free snack. curse

Matt,
that will just be the 'admirals club' lounges in the US airports. They are open to anyone to buy access to, and they have to buy drinks. As a international biz class traveller you are entitled to free drinks, and can ask for more 'raffle tickets' from the front desk.

The AA 1st Class lounger in ORD is (was) very nice... as is the LHR one.

I've only racked up 1.6 million AAirmiles so not in the league of the guys in the article!
