In addition, it must be mighty convenient for those AC members who are staying overnight at the hotel across the bridge but would rather not pay outrageous hotel WiFi charges just to check email, OR who would like a complimentary teatime or early evening drinks/snacks.
The AC is also an ideal place to wait when picking someone up at the airport.
Could somebody confirm that, unlike at HNL, the AC at FRA is available to AC members whenever the lounge is open (not just in the hours prior to the AA departures)?
