The area, which measures roughly 2,000 sq. toes, is designed completely for vacationers to pop by on the best way to their flight — whether or not they’re hoping to get a snack or a cup of espresso.
There are not any tables or seating choices for vacationers. I am not even certain if you happen to’ll discover a energy outlet for some last-minute juice.
Provisions occupies a beforehand unused area subsequent to Gate A1 at CLT.
The one true amenity within the outpost is customized flight help, supplied by two representatives on workers who might help with irregular operations or day-of-travel questions.

Whereas I have never been to American’s new outpost but, the photographs present that the area seems to be far much less inviting and premium than the competitors. I am going to reserve judgment till my full overview once I go to the area, however American does deserve preemptive kudos for one factor: its alacrity.

Now, one may argue that the airline did not have to do a lot work to repurpose some area close to a gate holdroom. However, extra choices are higher than fewer — particularly in Charlotte, the provider’s second-busiest hub that handles tons of connecting visitors.
