I gotta' say-- that's a really nice benefit. AA has a "deal" with t-mobile for it's clubs and IMHO it's a complete rip-off. I think considering AA's clubs are pay for booze they could at least throw in free wireless internet. Although quite a few of the AA clubs have wired terminals for use-- I forgot if any PC's have those. I think AA's deal with t-mobile absolutely stinks, I consider it to be really crass to charge for such service for dues paying members and/or premium cabin passengers and I rarely if ever use it.

On a recent trip I used free wi-fi at various lounges-- CX has it as did Emirates in Dubai-- it really doesn't cost much to provide under the circumstances.

In any case, if I'm ever at a terminal that has AA and CO in the same terminal maybe I'll get some use out of my lifetime PC membership yet!

A classy move on CO's part.
