Fresh off my flight from Boston, I waited to board my next flight in one of the lounges at the Miami hub.
As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:
Location and welcome
The lounge is located between the two boarding piers in terminal D. It is co-located with one of the hub’s Admirals Clubs.
The welcome was charming: my eligibility was checked, and I was given a Flagship Lounge access card. I handed it to the attendant at the elevator exit to gain access to this more exclusive lounge.
Lounge design
The design of the lounge hasn’t changed since my last visit a few months earlier, when I dropped in before a British Airways flight to London Heathrow.
It’s very spacious, with seating and dining areas and views over the tarmac.
Catering
The food and beverage offer was very high quality. At the time of my visit, grilled beef and chicken were available as hot dishes, and there were plenty of salad ingredients, as well as cold meats and cheeses.
For drinks, a wide selection of liqueurs and spirits were available on a self-serve basis, as well as mid-range wines and a well-made champagne, Piper-Heidsick brut.
I finished with a few sweets, such as jelly beans, available near the coffee machine.
Bottom line
An excellent lounge experience, but I barely had time to enjoy it!
