Closing Thoughts

It's great to see lounges in various places worldwide nominated for awards. I have only been to one of these lounges on the list (the Centurion Lounge - DFW), but I have been to many Sky Club lounges and other Centurion lounges with outstanding service. I hope to get a lounge review in soon for some of the lounges in the near future.
