If you are looking for a quick bite between flights, American Airlines will provide you with a new solution.
The airline has just opened its first ride-hailing lounge by the Admiral Club at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), which is known as supply. The space measures about 2,000 square feet and is designed specifically for the space travelers pop up on the way to the flight – whether they want to get a snack or a cup of coffee.
Travelers have no table or seating options. I’m not even sure if you’ll find some last minute juice power outlet.
PROVION takes up a previously unused space next to the Gate A1 of CLT.
The only real amenities in the outpost are personalized flight assistance provided by two representatives staff who can help with irregular operations or travel day issues.
On the food side, Americans say it will serve breakfast from 6:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. to 11 a.m. to 11 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. to 11 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Morning snacks, pastries, yogurt and fruit options will be stocked up, followed by savory and sweets in the afternoon and evening. The lunch boxes will also be available throughout the day.
If you are looking for caffeine, you may want to go somewhere else. Drip coffee and tea will be provided, but don’t expect any barista or coffee maker here.
Canned and bottled non-alcoholic beverages will also be provided.

In terms of access, the provisions inherit the same access rules as any other Admiral Club, so be sure to check out our detailed guide to see if you are eligible.
Today, lounges have become popular, and airlines like Air Canada and Manchester United have invested in these spaces. Credit card issuers are also participating in the game, with packed takeaway options in one lounge in each capital, and Amex has opened a faster Centurion Lounge experience in the upcoming Sidecar Outposts.
The location of the provision’s Charlotte hub in the United States represents its first attempt at the concept of robbery.
Although I haven’t visited the new outpost in the United States, the pictures show that the space looks much less than its competitors. I will keep my judgment until I do a full review when I visit the space, but Americans do deserve the honor of one thing: its pain. The airline announced the regulations on July 15 and opened a month later on August 19.
Now, one might say that the airline doesn’t need to do a lot of work to repurpose some of the space near the portal. But more options are better than fewer ones – especially in Charlotte, a hub where operators can handle up to a large amount of connection traffic.
