Hi everybody,


I am trying to determine whether there currently was a more confortable lounge for C/*G pax flying LX/LH out of MIA. I am not a great fan of the overcrowded Avianca lounge which I have been using so far.


Has anyone recent experience with one of the other lounges that are accessible to *G or eventually priority pass? According to *G listing, there are in addition to the Avianca lounge: "Club America", "Delta Sky Club" and "VIP Lounge", all being contracted lounges. At first glance, they do not seem more appealing than the Avianca lounge...

and on another note, I would welcome a LX or LH lounge in MIA. To my knowledge, there are currently 2 LH, 1 or 2 (season dependant) LX and 1 OS daily flights. This should be sufficient to justify the opening of a C lounge.

I agree with you, the Avianca/VIP lounge is sub par, always crowded. A true LH/LX lounge in MIA would be most welcome but I have doubts it will ever happen.
In Miami it is generally impossible to move airside between terminals, except some exceptions, and regardless the other lounges are nothing special. Even if you fly Air France La Premiere you get the Delta SkyClub in concourse H which is just ok. The best lounge in Mia is probably the Centurion in D, always crowded though (they announced an expansion) but out of reach if you fly LH/LX.

Thanks for the info. I will try Delta Sky Club next time LX departs from H.

LH group should consider opening a lounge there, save a few bucks that it currently spents on Avianca and get a few bucks from third party carrier passengers.

M&M lounge search engine now only displays the overcrowded Avianca lounge in MIA for SEN and *G.


Would the "Club America", "Delta Sky Club" and "VIP Lounge" not be accessible any longer?

Only the Avianca on LH and additionally the LATAM VIP lounge when flying LX.

Actually, last Friday I flew LH F and I was escorted to LATAM VIP lounge. I recommend to accept the escort through security as they help you skip the lines.

Yeah, sometimes LH F pax are escorted to the LATAM VIP lounge, particularly when the Avianca lounge is very full. For LX the LATAM lounge is the default choice for both J and F.

Did you like the lounge? Food, drink, amenities...

On my last trip was with LX C (and no *G status), I could only access the Avianca lounge. My next trip is with LH (with *G status). I will attempt to enter the so called VIP Lounge (which is not LATAM anymore if I am not mistaken). I wanted to try the Delat SkyClub loung following afmiami's comment on 28 August, but this lounge does not appear anylonger on the *G directory.

That's weird, as LX told me last time that the VIP lounge is the default lounge and their website lists only the following lounge for everybody (F, J, SEN/*G, etc.):

-
VIP Lounge / between gates J5 and J7 / HON Circle / Miles & More Senator / Star Alliance Gold / First Class / Business Class
-

Yes, I just saw it indeed, but I believe that it refers to the "Avianca VIP Lounge". The VIP denomination still appears to be often used in Latin America...

Don't think so. The *A lounge finder says Avianca lounge for LH and VIP lounge plus Avianca lounge for LX.

Just flew from MIA on LH and was given an invitation for the ex LATAM lounge.

No, I did not like the food. Drinks are ok, bathrooms ok. Did not try the showers. Quite crowded but easy to find a seat. Definitely subpar for F, barely acceptable for C
