Most Delta lounges have a place where you can escape the bloody awful disgusting &*%$#@ television (what is your real opinion, sir?). These are now omnipresent, and much too loud, in almost all US airport boarding areas.</font>
Actually to me, they are loud enough to be distracting, but often NOT actually loud enough to decipher what they are actually broadcasting over the general airport noise level.

USAirways is behind on this - we only get phones with connections for our laptop modems.

USAirways does, but I usually prefer to stick to non-alcoholic drinks anyway - so I wouldn't pay extra for the club membership based on that, and USAirways club does cost less than many.

Unfortunately the RDU USAirways club has an excellent view of the new parking garage construction, but their lounges in other airports (CLT, PIT, PHL, DCA, BOS, BWI, and maybe even MCO) that I've been to make up for this. And yes, I DO like to watch (planes that is
).
