Champagne, Cigars, Caviar? The Most Clever Lounge Perk

Best Lounge Perk is part of The Year of the Monkey Trip Report which covers the following places:


I’ve been to some great lounges in my day (see all Lounge Reviews). Emirates First Class Lounge Dubai has great food, an abundance of drinks, and plenty of place to sleep but that’s to be expected. The same can be said of Singapore Airlines’ Private Room. Instead of writing about fine dining, I would like to point out lounges that have creative offerings. I will start in reverse order.

Drinks
Centurion LGA was the first lounge to have premium cocktails. And they tasted good.

So many features in this lounge including waiters who came by (far too frequently) and a rooftop lounge.

7. Turkish Airlines Business Class: Where Costco Meets Chuck E. Cheese (The old one is better than the new one).

Care for a game of pool?
The old Turkish lounge was ahead of its time, offering an assortment of food and games to keep everyone entertained.

This clever offering made for a clever post.

PHO PHO PHO
2 good posts about Delta? When they offer TPOL’s favorite food in a lounge, I have to give them their props.

  1. Big fan of #9, but please don’t call those beers in the middle Lef-AY. 😉
    Believe it or not, I’ve had US bartenders correct me when I request a “lef”.
