American Admirals Club

First, Admirals Club affiliations were allocated to frequently flown aircraft or VIPs at the sole discretion ofthe airline's distribution group.

Until 1967, American Airlines began enabling individual members to buy memberships, and prices began at $25 for an annuity and $250 for a lifelong member. The open Membership Policies remain in place and today you can become a member of the Admirals Club by either using your money or earning mileage. The first Admirals Club Flughafen Lounge, initially called "Flagship Club" for reasons of law, was opened in 1939 at New York's LaGuardia International Airports.

Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia first used the room and chose to let it to American Airlines after being accused of having such a large, well-equipped bureau. As part of the Admirals Club, you will receive promotions from businesses such as Hertz and HP as well as help with seating choices, inquiries for upgrades from stand-by lists and tickets for your face-to-face travel on the same date.

In addition, Admirals Club members can take free use of the American Airlines Admirals Club Lounge service which can help make their traffic much less busy. Having more than 45 Admirals Clubs and more than 30 Qantas* Clubs around the world, you will never have to miss an aerodrome haven to enjoy your outings.

The Admirals Club Lounge offers free drinks (both alcohol and non-alcoholic), easy refreshments and WLAN connection. If, for example, you would like to integrate fast training into your travel route, the Admirals Club has a small gym in Terminal A at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airports. For $59 each, you can buy a day pass for yourself or another individual on-line, as well as at certain Admirals Club sites and at the Self Service Check-in Terminal at the Aiport.

If you choose to become a member of the Admirals Club within 30 business days of using your day passport, the $59 you spend on the passport can be used for your $59 per year memberroll. And if you want to go on a frequent trip next year, consider buying an Admirals Club subscription on-line, at any Admirals Club, or by telephone (800-237-7971).

Everyone who has acquired an Airpass that is also an Admirals Club member may use the lounge together with 2 guest or immediate members of the immediate families. The Citi Executive AAdvantage card members can relax in the 2 guest lounge or your immediate hostage. For American Airlines International Business Class and First Class travellers to/from Europe, Asia, South America, Central America and Mexico City, entry to the lounge is permitted at the airports from which they depart.

If you fly in First Class, you may also fly with 1 passenger. Anyone travelling in First or Business Class on an one-world trip has full admission to all lounge facilities. Only First Class travellers can take a passenger with them. First- or business-class travellers travelling within the United States, between the United States and Canada, Mexico (1), the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean without a single Emerald or Sapphire Animal designation may not enter American Airlines lounge facilities (2).

In addition to the Qantas Domestic Business Lounge, members of Qantas Domestic Business have full and full airport membership in Qantas Business Class and frequently flown airport lounge. Members of Saphire may also take guests travelling on an one way trip. The Emerald members have first class, business class and free entry at the airport from which they depart.

You may also take a visitor with you, but he or she must fly on an one way plane. 2) Qantas Domestic Business Lounges are not available to Qantas frequent flyer Gold members.
