Airport Paradise


Over the years, airline travel has seemed to get less and less romantic and luxurious and has become almost the equivalent of traveling on a public bus. However, there are many people joining a new trend of airline clubs that offer the service that traveling coach now lacks. The expense of joining these clubs causes many people to turn down the offer immediately, but considering all of the hassles of air travel today with delays and crowded airports, it could be well worth opening the pocket book. In addition to comfortable work stations and cushy chairs, they offer perks like free beverages and civil reservation agents.


These locations can overall be less expensive than first class tickets and at the same time offer more perks than upper class seating during flight. Most of the major US airlines have such clubs, for example, Delta Airlines has the Crown Room Club, American has the Admirals Club, United the Red Carpet Club, Northwest the WorldClub, and Continental has the Presidents Club. Annual memberships are not the only option however, because one day passes are also offered and sometimes given away free of charge for customers who regularly fly on that particular airline. The clubs do this to give people a taste of royalty when they enter the five star locations inside the drib airports.


Wi-Fi, Internet, and bar services are perfect for anyone who likes to relax during a stressful day of dealing with the airlines. All of the services are included within the memberships to prevent any worries of paying for the costs of beverages or food during a visit. Customers are also able to rebook their flights at the front desk instead of waiting in the extremely long lines at the airline counters. All together, the clubs are able to save time on air travel and save the stress that normally comes with everyday commuting.
