At long last, it’s finally here.<\/p>\n

American Airlines’ long-awaited Flagship Lounge in Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) will be open for business on Thursday (May 22). The lounge, which was originally supposed to debut<\/a> before the pandemic, was indefinitely delayed for years, both due to the travel slowdown associated with COVID and due to the airline’s expansion in New York (that came largely at the expense of Philly).<\/p>\n

But as the New York growth slowed with the end of the Northeast Alliance<\/a>, American recommitted to the Flagship Lounge project in Philadelphia, its primary transatlantic hub, which it inherited from US Airways during the merger.<\/p>\n
