  • which airlines lounge??????????

    united airlines you can pay, at heathrow when I worked there to go in the red carpet club it was £50....unless you knew one of us or chatted us up nicely lol
  • just found this, but generally ring the airline you are flying with and ask them if they have an offer whereby you can pay

    Anyone can use AAs lounge at Chicago at a cost of $50 for the first person-if there's two of you it's $75 and if there's three it's $100 but the airport is HUGE so it depends which airline you are flying onwards with as you want *their* lounge. You don't need to book.
    £50 for UA ??? Ouch -AA at Heathrow is $50 and in the same terminal-big difference if it's like for like (free booze, snacks, wifi ,local calls etc)
    Oh free booze at Heathrow not Chicago btw.
    Just to add if you are flying AA the $50 is for the whole day-so it would cover you for the lounges both at Heathrow and Chicago for one charge.

  • Do what we did, stop over in Chicago for a couple of days.

  • samuel you will have to collect your bags and go through customs, so go land side so yes you can leave, you should be able to drop your bags right off but you will then have to go and go back through security etc as this will be your first port of entry in the country...you should be checked in though so if you chose to leave the airport should have checked in bags and be checked in so just go through security and to the gate.
