Admirals Club

Ill be a bit entitled, but… american airline shave this thing where if you are military traveling on orders, you can use their lounge. I actually travel quite a bit (and have other passes to access the lounge), but the one in charlotte has this sign 99% of the time (the one time it didnt have the sign, and i tried to get in with miles id, they tried to turn me away… i have other passes i can use, so i still got in). All the times ive been in, when they have the sign up, the lounge is not even 25% full. So even though AA offers this option (and most of the time i dont have issues at other airports), the one in charlotte always declines military members. Maybe someone in management is against military? You cant possibly say that at 25% capacity, you are too busy to get 2-3 mil folks in? Cant be the AA thing, cause i always get i to one at fll, but once did i get into charlotte one in 4 years traveling this route (and even then they tried to kick me out). Btw, today is tuesday and you can see in the pictures from check in, its not busy.

Might have been rated higher, but it was under renovations and had mainly prepackaged food.

It's always MOBBED and the food choices are lame. Lots of prepackaged junk. Where's the eggs and breakfast proteins? Many other clubs in the network do much better. Disappointing that a club at a premier hub like Charlotte would be so substandard.

One of the nicer airline lounges however food options were limited.

Under construction is an excuse to slack off in every aspect.
