Not gourmet but it would get you through your 1-2-3 hour flight. Coffee machines, sodas, water.
The lounge itself had indoor and outdoor space and was way more pleasant to kill time than the gate area.
Noticed this and so called PC two weeks ago and was assured that my membership via Hilton Surpass was still valid. Pulled up the card today on the app and the 2026 expiry changed before my eyes to around February 8th 2024. Of course, ethical business practices would continue the membership till the yearly Amex card expiration. I wonder what would happen if I called Amex, cancelled and asked for a prorated refund of the membership fee?
