Video: The Points Guy Visited 3 Lounges. His Favorite Will Surprise You.
It's a battle royale over at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).
In this episode of "Being The Points Guy," we take a look at which of two lounges at PHL reigns supreme. First, we have the Centurion Lounge, which is known for delicious craft cocktails, massive showers and lively scene, but also has a tendency to get a bit overcrowded. Then, we have the British Airways Lounge, which boasts made-to-order (and yummy) meals, and a quiet ambiance good for getting work done or dozing off pre-flight, but doesn't quite measure up to the airline's Concorde Lounges at JFK or LHR.

Then we also take a look at Minute Suites, and you might be surprised to see what Brian thinks of it!
