Having been to the Envoy Lounge at PHL, I would definitely rank it higher than any of the Flagship Lounges I've visited (JFK, ORD, or LAX), with the exception that the Envoy didn't have showers. It was also a departures-only lounge, so when you arrived back from Europe, you were relegated to the B-C lounge (or perhaps the F lounge!). While not quite up to par with the LH Senator lounges at MUC or FRA, it wasn't too far behind (how I sometimes miss the days of US and Star Alliance).
But alas, someone decided to dismantle the Envoy lounge and make it into an ordinary one...only to now turn it into a Flagship Lounge.
