The Envoy lounge in PHL A terminal is very good compared to many of the domestic international lounges I have been to. Open bar with several good choices of what I would consider to be call brand booze, acceptable wine and a so-so German sparkling wine (at least that was the choice last time I was there).
Food was good too, several bread, cold cut, cookie and veggie selections. Just an expansive view of all of the international flights getting ready to leave and a few flights that arrive at the old A terminal.
Large with a couple of TV's showing usually sports or news.....I like the Envoy lounge. Departures are announced also.
US's contract lounges in Europe, with the exception of Gatwick, are pretty poor. Open bars though, but just little places tucked back in corners of the airport that are usually crowded and run down.

The Envoy lounge is head and shoulders above US' other clubs.
Good food and drink offerings and a pleasant atmosphere in general.

If you are Star Gold and are in FRA - head for the Terminal B non-Schengen SEN lounge - head and shoulders above the UA RCC that's in the C - US-bound terminal.

You should see the LH First Class terminal in Frankfurt. Felt like royalty there!

The Envoy lounge is pretty nice.. and agreed its better than your typical USAir club. You get decent food and drinks with a great view. I was last there in July... my brother was impressed, but then again, he liked the BOS Club as well.... minus the free booze.
Concur with Spanair MAD Club... was there in May and had a nice 4 hour nap along with some snacks, etc... Great Olives!

I am considering going from YOW to IST via PHI. I plan to fly business class, and I am a Star Alliance Gold member through Air Canada's Aeroplan.
I presume this lounge is international US Air Lounge in PHI. I have been to the domestic lounges in terminal F, and terminal B (or is it C?). I would presume that this international lounge is superior to the domestic ones?
Does the international lounge have computers?
Are there other options for Star Alliance lounges in PHI, if flying on a Star Alliance carrier to Europe (or beyond)?

Wifi is not free - I seem to remember it is about $10 a day for use.
