My Flight Made The News… Sorta!

Yesterday I wrote in passing about my flight delay from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, as a result of my inbound aircraft being delayed by about five hours.

Reader PST Andy commented on the post with a link to an ABC7 Los Angeles article about a delayed flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

I'm not sure whether I'm more amused by the fact that this was the inbound of my flight, or the fact that this is quite possibly the least interesting airline delay story I've ever read:

Review: The Club At LAS Airport

After a visit to The American Express Centurion Lounge at Las Vegas Airport, I couldn't help but quickly drop into the Priority Pass lounge located across the concourse.

It's called The Club at Las Vegas Airport, and is located in Terminal 1, Concourse D. This is part of The Club network of independent lounges -- they have five lounges around the country, in Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Jose.

Much like with The Centurion Lounge, you first have to clear security and take the train to the D Concourse.
