Default Pilot Lounges

What pilot lounges would you rate as the best? In other words, what is your favorite?

Ali Al Saleem... perhaps it was the poofy couches and the Air Conditioning.

What's a pilot lounge? I guess this isn't an airline question.

Meridian TEB has a Theater, Pool Table, and a workout facility. (Although I never use them)

I also like Million Air HOU. Free fountain drinks and a nice Jaguar to drive to get a bite to eat.

you are going to confuse the poor kid....

ok AAL... pilot lounges are located in FBO's, corporate pilots have pilot lounges.

Airline pilot's dont have pilot lounges. They have crew rooms. And crew rooms have nothing in them but computers, a couch or two if you are lucky, kit bags and luggage, and maybe a TV- probably with a 1980's VCR. They also come free with a musty, moldy atmosphere, carpet that should have been replaced 10 years ago, and the echos of exagerated stories, and complaining.

Crew Rooms are not the place you want to spent your time, otherwise, everyone would bid for reserve!

Meridian TEB is where it's at. How can you go wrong with a $50,000 theater room?

Ill second that one. Although I only dropped in and out of there momentarily and spent all of my kuwait time in Victory or Virgina. Enjoyed their USO room or whatever it was called (cant remember.)

Having been to most of the pilot lounges in North America and a few crew rooms for a major airline. I would have to say my favorite lounge is my lazy boy at home.
