WHAT A DUMP!!!

It's like an 80s public gate area.

Sure it might have somewhat better food offerings than domestic ACs, but it looks like no care at all went into the decor with plain grey seats, DMV style linoleum floors, bare white and beige walls, cheap plastic chairs around plain eating tables and a couple of plants added which I'm sure some decorator thought would give it that "home look." It's dark and the recessed lighting does little to rectify the minimal natural sunlight. Even EXUS domestic lounges look nicer.

It adds insult to injury knowing the VX Clubhouse is directly from this dog.

Is there any possibility of AA completely remodeling this lounge or perhaps moving to a new space?
Seriously? I was there last month and I thought it was really nice.

And there is no chance of a remodel as this just happened a few months ago!
