As someone who flies *A (and with no status, so I seldom see lounges from the inside, anyway) I need all the help I can get so I thought I would cheekily ask for a clue: are the lounges shown in the order that they were visited, or is the order strictly random?

i guess they 'roughly' are.
but i expect he has switched a few of them.

note also, in his trip he has stopped by the same airport (different lounges) more than one times, esp those OW hubs.

i suppose some hint (which might be wrong anyway, as i am also guessing )wouldnt harm?

plato, i think you can also guess that FL outside the security area if you had been to all other FL's (there are only 5 FL in the AA universe, 4 in USA), (well, i'm not too sure, i was there when it first opened, but never been back again)

-----

i think i know 1-6, 10, 12-15, 17, 19,20

17 and 20 are a monorail apart. and it is the "mecca" for any OW emerald member? -- 15 is also special in that it is probably the only "outdoore lounge"?

-----

terence,

can you posted a 'thumbnail'/index so that it is easier to flip your album?
it is also enjoyable for those who didn;t enter the game
(i cannot finish my own VIPOW, and i think i can guess your itin, for at least that lounge, from your postings, even if i had never been to that country -- so sort of not a fair entry)

I can think of at least one other outside lounge. The VIP lounge that CX uses at DPS has an outside area, which is quite nice and offers a great view of the runway and the ocean beyond. These photos are not of this lounge as BA does not fly to DPS.

i was in dps 2 years ago. wasnt too impressed with the cx lounge there.
maybe they changed.

----
turned out i 'guessed' 15 wrongly,
and it disappointed me that it is an arrival lounge. an outdorr lounge in the airside would be quite original

but i got accra the prison right

by pure guessing

ok guys... due to the low number of entries (only got 9!!!), I wouldn't be able to hand out the prize... but regardless, most of you got less than half right! I'm dissapointed!! However, I still had a blast, and I'm sure most of you did as well...

Anyways, here are the answers...

1. Boston AA Flagship Lounge
2. Los Angeles AA Admirals Club
3. Miami AA Flagship Lounge
4. Sao Paulo AA Admirals Club
5. Santiago AA Admirals Club
6. Dallas AA Flagship Lounge
7. Dallas AA Admirals Club (Terminal B)
8. JFK AA Admirals Club (Terminal 9)
9. London BA Concorde Lounge
10. London BA Molton Brown Spa
11. London BA First Class Lounge
12. Dubai BA Terraces Lounge
13. Accra Akwaaba Lounge (Temporary)
14. Cape Town BA Terraces Lounge
15. Johannesburg BA Arrivals Lounge
16. Johannesburg BA Terraces Lounge
17. Hong Kong CX The Wing
18. Auckland NZ First Class Lounge
19. Singapore SQ First Class Lounge
20. Hong Kong CX The Pier

Bonus picture was from Cape Town right outside the airport...

kudos goes to Kanebear who got 16 lounges correct.. also to Carl (not sure what his FT handle is), who's the only one who got the bonus pic correct...

By the way, did I tell you I went to all of those lounges, nearly in that order within a span of 2 weeks?

(sob) Only 6 out of 12 guesses. Pretty sad since I've been to 9 of those lounges in person.

Good game, though. Thanks to tfung for the pictures and an amusing interlude.

Tfung, the site www.fung.net/game isn't working. I know it's too late to play the game, but I'd like to see the pics.

Thanks,
