SAV club
Just thought I'd pass this on since I'm currently at SAV and have never heard of/about this.
There's a little club called The Passport Club near gate 12 which is open to all airline club members - including USAirways Club. Not a great deal in here - a Flavia machine and snacks on request - but not a bad little place to hang out with arrival/departure screens and a TV.
Which got me thinking - are there any other "secret" clubs out there?

The US agents have told me I could use it, but I've either had family there to see me off, or didn't really have the time, so I've never been inside.
I can't fully remember, but I think it is landside.

MDT has this for all elites of airlines servicing the airport: http://www.flyhia.com/frequent_flyer
I haven't used it personally but several colleagues living out that way have.
I know there are others out there, but I'm drawing a blank on which airports right now.

The airport bar sounds like a lot more fun then these types of lounges.

UA granted me access to one of these in Lincoln, NE a couple of years ago. Kind of a secret door in a wall to a small room overlooking the gates. Only amenities were bottled water, a coffee machine and newspapers. I don't recall it even having a restroom.

I can only speak to the club at SAV, but it seems that these lounges offer a quiet, business-friendly environment in which to catch up with email, finish a presentation, type up an agenda, make a production data fix (!) - whatever.
