Favorite Seats in AA Admirals Clubs

I just passed through ORD this morning --flying STL-ORD-SYR. While waiting for my flight to SYR leaving from G17, I stopped by the AA club. I went right to my favorite seat--back in the quiet room in a small niche right by the window. It is secluded and has it's own power outlet. This got me to thinking about how I have other favorite seats in other AA clubs and wondered if others do also?

I don't have favorite specific seats, but I certainly have favorite sections of various ACs. In STL, I tend to sit in the front of the club near the windows. At ORD, like you, I'm partial to the G glub quiet room (and was even moreso during the H/K renovations), as I find those chairs quite comfortable, and there's hardly anyone ever in there. At SAN, I like the bar area booth-style tables in the shared AC/Airspace Lounge. I could go on and on... I'm sure many AC regulars have their preferences.

Talking

Yes, I want to chime in with the STL AA CLub--there are two chairs by themselves at the top along the far wall--love the view from the windows, quiet and by themselves for the most part.

Yea H/K looks great these days and there feels to be much more seating options. I love the new 2nd bar area in the back with the seats facing the field so you can see all the big boys landing.

My future looks bleak. My favorite seat at an AC is a desk / cubicle. But when they re-do the fancy schmancy clubs (DFW-A, IAH, BNA, etc.) there are NO cubicles. What's up with thaaaat? Perhaps AA is trying to appeal to the younger generation who doesn't like desks?

My new favorite seat was found yesterday in the DCA AA club--by the 35-45 gates. Around the bar back towards the bathrooms there is a row of carrels that are quiet and isolated. Great spot to work. Wish there were some chairs in this space, as the windows have a great view north.

Alternate thread title: "Let's name the few spots not currently occupied by DYKWIAs screaming on their phones, so said individuals can now infest them as well." Great!

Sadly my favorite in the H/K Lounge is no more after renovation. There used to be an Eames Chair hidden around the corner if you walked all the way past the TV lounge to the windows then turned right towards the cubicles.

And in general very disappointed by the general disappearance of Eames Chairs from the clubs.

My favorite seat is the farthest away from the loudest guest.

I usually like the work carrel sections, as long as there is a window. They are usually quiet.

I like the workstations in ORD H/K, as well as the seats at the main bar.

Also, I love sitting at the round tables near (not right next to) the bar in the DFW D AC. Also, any window seat at DFW D is amazing.

This thread has sort of made me realize that I really don't change seats that much...

Lol, me too. I almost always sit in the same seats. ORG G? That little area with four seats by the printers. Sometimes, if I know I’m gonna be on the phone, I’ll check to see if that office/cube with a door by the men’s room is open. ORD H/K? Up against the big window with the long desk/workstation area. ORD L? Corner table by the bar.
