Somewhat off-topic, but why is it that ALL of the lounges in Terminal 5 at ORD are so lousy? I'm in the Swissport lounge sipping Woodbridge pinot grigio from a little plastic bottle and munching on Cheetos. You'd never see it in Europe or Asia.
curious to see how Turkish works for you. let us know.
IMO, the BA lounge in T5 is nice. Good wine choice and they have a full meal buffet so you can have your meal before your flight...at least the last one of the day which I've started taking instead of UA.
