This is my third trip to Germany in the last 6 months and I have finally figured out the easiest way to have an 8 hour layover in Atlanta- buy a days pass to one of the lounges. Specifically "The Club" in concourse F. For 35 dollars you can sit in comfortable chairs, in pleasant surroundings and even take a shower in a spa like setting (which I did) ( and it was great!). I mean, if you paid for it, then why not use it?
Also, they serve a continental style breakfast of muffins, various pastries, cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh juice and any kind of coffee drink you want. Later they serve a light lunch of soup, salad, and sandwiches. ( I assume dinner is similar choices, but had I had left by then.)
I chose fresh fruit, yogurt and a cappuccino. They also had snacks of popcorn, more fresh fruit, cookies and chips. A full bar is also included in the cost, I passed on this perk today, but I know others would love it!
To make the day even better, Tom had a layover in Atlanta that afternoon so I was able to visit and catch up with him. How perfect was that!
Some of you savvy travelors already know about these travel oases, but I was blown away at how much easier it made 8 hours of waiting. I am sure between Starbucks, breakfast and lunch at the airport, I would have easily dropped 35.00 so in I thought it was a great deal as well.
