I am not new to ff programs or airline credit cards, however I have never flown USAirways of America West. I will be flying from Oregon to GUA via PHX and CLT on US Air next month (over 8000 miles). I do not have a USAir or America West CC or ff acct. The best offer I see for the USAirways Mastercard, gives 10,000 bonus miles with no annual fee 1st yr. It also includes a US Airways Club day pass. I have no idea what an airport lounge is like. Can I find a quiet place to sleep there compared to the rest of CLT? I will be carrying a backpack and won't look anything like a business traveller. I will have a 5 hr layover at PHX (on Dec 25) and then arrive in CLT at 5:28am and depart at 11:15am, so I will need some sleep at CLT.
Generally lounge prefer you are dressed appropriately,
but jeans/t-shirts/sneakers are generally okay.
Lounge is a place to avoid crowd.. grab some light snack and drinks.
some of them give you internet access on your notebook or have
PCs for use. You can find news papers and magazines.. and
TVs.
dont know about the CLT lounge, but in some places they have good enough
chairs to catch a nap...
A few places may even have showers for you to use.
Hope you enjoy your first visit.

There's nowhere to actually sleep, ie a bed!, but lots of comfy chairs and sofas wheree you can get a good nap away from the crowds, with a drink and a nice snack..
