    I'd been to DFW and had higher expectations for Philly dining. The DFW lounge was hectic the day I passed through and this lounge while much smaller was also calmer. Service was impeccable at Philadelphia location. Couldn't fault the staff for their politeness and non obtrusive attention. I had a very long wait that was comfortable and quiet. As the evening progressed the lounge got busier but it was quieter in the afternoon and late evening (on a Thursday). I made myself a good tasting americano from their espresso machine and had plenty of chilled bottled water. I didn't have any alcohol but they had plenty of selections including offering champagne upon entry.

    First visit to the new Flagship club 3/5 We weren't impressed with the layout. Too many people and not enough space. Very busy and be prepared to constantly say "excuse me" or "sorry." Very close quarters didn't feel relaxing at all. Unlike some of the other clubs. Good luck finding places to sit. Might have to wait for spots open where you can sit together. 4/5 The service is great but a little more over the top. For instance the staff member cleaned our area but left it wet and it wasn't dirty. The bathrooms were immaculate. Go there for quiet. 5/5 Food looked good. We didn't eat a lot but the desserts and gelato bar looked tempting. The staff works very hard to keep the food stocked and presentable.

    Had a long layover in Philly on the way to Nice and spent a couple of hours at the American Airlines Flagship Lounge. It was big but packed, and we ended up sharing a table with a couple, which made hanging out more fun. I had a sandwich and the bubbles were flowing, plus there's a QR code if you want to order from the menu instead of the buffet. Our new friends even ordered us a charcuterie board. It was a nice way to kill a couple of hours before our flight.

There was plenty of room to relax, and everything was well thought out. I really hope they open one in Los Angeles too, because LAX definitely needs a lounge like this! No photos from me this time--the other reviews already have plenty of great photos! And honestly, if you're complaining about the food or drinks..., it's free! Enjoy the lounge, relax, and appreciate what's being offered. You can't expect a five-star restaurant experience when everything is included.

Love the made to order menu and being able to customize. Food comes out in about ten minutes. Drinks were well crafted; even the NA mocktails were delicious. Love all the nods to local Philly- sports, beer garden, Ben Franklin. The amenities are the game changer. Showers were really spacious and soooooo luxurious. The rest pod was a peaceful break from the airport noise. And my absolute favorite- the free facial! You have to sign up via QR code for any amenities, which you can only access once you're in the lounge. So pro tip- soon as you sit down, check the amenity schedule first- even before cocktail or food.

While the clubs used to be spacious with decent food and drink offerings and excellent service, the clubs have become much busier with fewer seats available and average food and drink options. It seems that everyone has access to an Admirals Club nowadays and brings their entire families. With that said, this particular lounge is one of the larger locations I have been in, and there are many places within the lounge to relax, do work, grab a snack, or anything else. In fact, for such a large lounge, there were surprisingly open seats here and there where I'm used to smaller lounges without any open seats. There is comfortable seating as well as bar seating and table seating. Also over the last year, I've begun to see the efforts made to improve the Admirals Club membership which includes complimentary hot food throughout the day from soups, Mac and Cheese, sandwiches, meatballs, and breakfast items (not all at once though). In fact, there was a build-your-own-waffle station set up which later turned into a guacamole station. There are charcuterie offerings, dessert trays, a salad bar, hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and then house drinks. You can pay more for premium drinks and prepared meals. Access to the lounge is easy to get whether through the Citi Executive World Mastercard with free access for you and up to two guests. You can also pay $175 for up to three authorized users each receiving their own lounge access (with up to two guests). Also, One World alliance flyers with a certain status can access Admirals Clubs. There are also Flagship Lounge and Flagship First Dining locations, which offer much more than just Admirals Clubs. I'm confident that making it easy to get Admirals Club memberships has led to lounges being overcrowded though now that you have to pay for authorized users instead of getting them for free in recent years, that may help. You can also redeem AAdvantage miles for membership or access to the Admirals Club. This specific lounge is where the B and C concourses meet up right near the shopping area. It's a great lounge that I plan on visiting again on a future visit to Philadelphia.

    Came here after what was a very crowded American Express Centurion lounge experience. I would say…read morethis lounge was a lot more intimate, old-school (eg has not been renovated in two decades) and had better service. There is a bit of an open kitchen concept, and the staff definitely seemed like they were working very hard. It really is old, though. Like a Richard Gere movie, that sort of old. I like that it's not as crazy crowded as the lounge upstairs, and so if you're looking for a little bit of quiet, this is probably a better bet than the lounge upstairs if you had access to both. The drink selection was quite impressive. I don't remember there being an open bar, but there must've been 20 different wines and spirits to choose from. Serve yourself.

We were ticketed first class to Barcelona, starting our trip here in Philadelphia, and were thoroughly amazed by the British Airways lounge here. How do you spell self-service? Not only that, but the entire staff were friendly and personable making sure you could find everything you wanted. The variety of food available was absolutely outstanding! Something for everyone! On a downside, there are minimal restrooms available. On the upside, everything else! Styled and contemporary. We truly enjoyed our time there before getting onto our BA flight. Looking forward to our next visit!

This particular lounge is not among the largest Admirals Club locations nor is it among the smallest of the lounges I have been to. There is one long seating area along with an additional area in the bar. This lounge is located above the food court in the central area of Terminal F right near where the shuttle arrives and departs and before the terminal breaks into three corridors.

A cheese plate, a couple of soups, and a couple hot dishes. None of the food is gourmet but it is all very good. I found this lounge very clean, including the bathrooms that were spotless. It was not crowded in the least. There was, as in all Admiral's Clubs no shortage of places to plug in and charge up. I also have to say that the bartender here was very nice when I visited recently.

For $65/hr. here, you get a glorified closet where you can turn the lights off. Unfortunately, everything else is pretty much the same as in the terminal: you lack control of the temperature (there is a thermostat in each suite, but your inputs cause nothing to happen), have to share a bathroom across the corridor with "gen-pop," and can recline on a worn-out, squeaky plastic couch held together by duct tape. I was hoping to get a nap in in here during a 6-hr. layover between a transatlantic and a domestic flight, but couldn't get comfortable in such a ramshackle, bare-minimum-of-effort environment. The sole benefit was perhaps the confirmation of my suspicions that this country is going downhill compared to the shining, ultramodern European airport I departed from! In my view, what would make this price point logical would be hotel-style amenities: the room can be small, but it should have an actual bed (even if just a twin), sheets, a WORKING thermostat, at least one complimentary water (making guests who are already forking over countless Benjamins pay $6 for a 500mL bottle shocked my conscience), and at least one private bathroom for those who've booked the suites. Without these perks, you might as well tough it out among the writhing masses outside.

I was beyond tired and just wanted to take a nap and stretch out my legs. I have used Minute Suites in both Dallas & Atlanta, so I knew what to expect. Ashley greeted me and quickly checked me in. She was very friendly, welcoming and told me to let her know if I needed anything during my stay. My room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Minute Suites are located inside the terminals and offer one-hour suite rentals. You can adjust your time as needed, but you still pay by the hour. All Minute Suite locations have different amenities. Some have blankets, pillows, refrigerated drinks and snacks in the rooms; while other locations have only the basics (daybed, tv, desk, chair, white noise, coat hangers). Some even offer showers at an additional surcharge. Sadly, I was unable to fall asleep due to the time difference and nerves about missing my connection flight home. But I did fully enjoy two hours of peace & quiet, and the ability to lay down and stretch out my legs. I recommend this Minute Suites if you have time between connections and want to get away from all of the noise, hustle and bustle that comes along with waiting at the gate. I'll definitely visit this Minute Suites again the next time I find myself in Philadelphia Recommended!
