Never experienced the "double check-in" at MIA D15. However, I have had to wait at the top of the escalator a minute or so for admittance as the staff listen to somebody trying to talk his or her way into the lounge in rapid-fire Spanish.

They just recently switched from CRTs to flat panels, though!

SCL is certainly vintage but I thought it was cool stepping back in time. Wish it was a bit higher though.

Any AA FF going through AA who have Citi Prestige/ Priority Pass can lounge at The Club at ATL which is really nice.

What's wrong with the AC in ATL?
It is conveniently located right next to the gates. You don't have to take the train, and it's right after security.
Sure it's small, but it's not a dump by any means. And it's rarely crowded, especially now that the LGA flights are gone.
ATL is my most frequently visited AC (other than ORD homebase), so maybe I'm biased, but the agents there are among the friendliest and most helpful I've encountered anywhere.

MIA is the WORST. The people are nice and helpful at the Admirals Clubs there, but the physical clubs seriously need help. No better place for a Centurion Lounge, IMO. It seriously can't open soon enough..

I'm in and out of CDG 5-6+ a year. Nothing really against the CDG AC, but if I have cleared the upgrade (AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THAT ...!) and there are no major issues requiring announcements, the CX lounge is the better place, IMHO.

Actually I like the ORD Lounge.
But there are 3 at ORD , the main concourse near H6, G concourse and the Flagship Lounge near K19.
The Flagship Lounge has complementary food and premium alcohol.
Most disappointing is NRT. Food and drink are not up to the standard of Asian Airline high standards like JAL, Cathay, Asiana at ICN and Cathay at HKG.

The only time I've ever willingly set foot in PHL A-East was to get gate information for a connecting flight, since the departure boards upstairs only showed flights in A-East.
The other one for the TATL departures is nice, though, especially when you're there at a time of day to watch the big planes parade around in front of the windows.
