I was thinking about some of the recent threads which talked about membersip to The Presidents Club & RCC etc. I thought it might be useful if I started a thread listing the 'VIP' lounges I know of, which will accept payment (cash or credit-card)on entry:

Abu Dhabi: Airport Hotel Lounge (Dhs46/US$12.80).
Amsterdam: Ogden Executive Lounge (NLG35).
Baltimore: Friendship Centre (US$10).
Bangkok: Louis Tavern-CIP Lounge (Bht 450).
Barbados: Club Caribbead (Bds35.50/US$18).
Berlin: Hugo-Jenkers Lounge (DM25).
Berlin: Otto-Lilienthal Loung (DM25).
Berlin: Melli-Beese Lounge (DM25).
Bucharest: Salon Dacia (US$15).
Colombo: Lotus Lounge (US$12).
Dar-es-Salaam: Tanzanite Lounge (US$15).
Entebee: Karibuni Lounge (US$15).
Faro: Airport Authority Lounge (Pte 3100.50).
Faro: Tap/Navigator (Pte 2000).
Frankfurt: Europe City Club (DM25).
Hamburg: Hanseatic Lounge (DM30).
Istanbul: Havas CIP Lounge (US$12.50).
Johannesburg: Capricorn Club (R35).
Larnaca: VIP Lounge (CYP11).
Porto: Airport Lounge (Pte 2580).
Washington: Friendship Center (US$10).
Zagreb: Business Lounge (DM15).

I hope that may be of some use. Please forgive me if the prices (or availability) is no longer up to date. I have had to scour my expence claims for the last few years to find the rates, so they may have gone up.

If anyone wants to use any of these, please feel free to drop me an e-mail and I will try and remember where the are located and what the facilities were like. some were not so good!
