SMH: World's best airport lounge named
In my view, having been in this lounge a couple of times, it is nothing special. The decor is more UA Red Carpet lounge than even a QF J or BA Terraces lounge. And the food options are probably on par with QF's domestic lounges. This is no QF F lounge, no Wing/Pier, etc. I can only guess that it won again because the voters are overwhelmingly from North/South America and this is better than the lounges they are used to in that part of the world.
Airport lounges can ease some of the pain of travelling, and the SUMAQ VIP lounge of Lima's international airport has been voted the world's best for 2010 by independent airport lounge programme Priority Pass.
Priority Pass, the world's biggest membership programme that gives frequent travellers access to airport lounges regardless of their class of travel or which airline they've flown, asked more than 30,000 passengers from all over the world to pick their favourite lounge from among a 600-strong list.
