I've got a lounge fail going on too, although the possibility of getting dinner beforehand at least sounds good.
We've got flights on SW scheduled for next month that I wasn't really planning but I thought, awesome! We'll get to use our PP benefits for this year
Total fail.
We have an hour and a half layover in MCO so I thought we were good, nope, latest a lounge stays open is 10 pm and guess when we are scheduled to arrive? 10:10
We have an hour and a half layover in DAL on the way back so I thought, great maybe lunch
Nope, totally forgot that DAL is Luvfield and there's no lounges at all.
Leaving from PHL so the only "lounge" here is the MinuteSuites, so not really a lounge. You get like an hour in a cubicle for those. So no lounge at departure or arrival either.
This will learn me to chase cheap point flights rather than verifying the layovers.
I did luck out and our flight to Seattle in Sept we get close to an hour in DEN so we might be able to try Timberline
