Nada. There are no lounges available for you to use based on those credentials and that flight itinerary.

The skyClub is there, but access is only open till the end of Jan to PClub members, not *A.

I fly to FLL and use the PClub, while it is small it is nothing like the old CRC was at MIA, much much nicer than the dump that was the CRC.

Sounds like I'll be looking at FLL. Thanks.

OMG, "dump" is a total understatment. it was a large storage closet with two banquet style bars. one for the checkin agent and one for the bartender. i havent been in nearly a year, but it should be gone by now. it was "supposed" to be temporary until the new one was completed.

CO moved to the new terminal during the ST days, so it made perfect sense. id imagine they're stuck there for a while. hopefully they can get to a terminal where a *A carrier has a lounge. that'd would great for US based *golds. would that move even be possible?

edited to add... checked MIA. all it says is that there is a contract lounge available to eligible *G's. no other info available.

Although the OP won't be able to access it, the new CRC in Miami is excellent, one of their best clubs in the system.

skyclub ;)

MIA Lounge access reasonably near the CO gates for a BMI gold card?

There is no lounge now, skyclub was open to PClub members till the end of Jan, but that has ended now.

I was just wondering as CO.com http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...affiliate.aspx does say that there is an affiliated lounge MIA (contract lounge) open to "Eligible Star Alliance Gold Members" ...which I would assume to be any non-USA program based Star Gold member on a domestic itin--which would include, I assume, BD Star Golds. I suspect there is something that LH and Swiss use...far away from the CO gates. LH uses something called "Club America" (interim facility) for its star golds...pre-security location :(.

I was last in MIA last Nov, CO is not in the *A terminal yet, and don't think the skyteam and *A at linked after security either.
And as you said, the *A contract lounge isn't even behind security. MIA is trying to improve, but nothing happens fast in that airport!

I usually fly out of FLL. I volunteered and gave up my seat but had to go to MIA to get my flight. I had almost 3 hours till the flight left. CO has no MIA club but at that time
we could use the DL club. Only problem, DL gates and club is on a different concourse
then my CO gate and security would not let me down the concourse because I was flying CO and my gate was not on the DL concourse. I guess I could have gone to
CO and got a pass to get through security but from you tell me about the MIA club
it would not have been worth it.
Does have a similar issue trying to access a club in a different part of an airport and you can't get by security. Every airport is different. At LGA, the CO club is before security. I have used the club many times when I was not flying CO. Same at SFO.
At CLE, some years ago they moved the security checkpoints so once you clear security you have access to the entire airport. So if I fLY WN, I can go to the CO club.

I was there today...at least that part of the airport is decent. Some parts of the airport are just horrible....so we're lucky that we have at least a decent area to wait in.

Not sure what date this happened, but DL and CO are both in Concourse H.

At a time CO was in Concourse J and DL in Concourse H, but H and J are connected behind security.
