Lounge of the Year - Continental Presidents Club wins again
For the second year in a row, the Priority Pass Lounge of the Year award has been won by the Continental Presidents Club at Terminal E, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston.
The high quality facilities, welcoming staff and general ambience were key factors that won the vote of Priority Pass members throughout the world. Once again, the Presidents Club had to compete with over 500 airport lounges in the Priority Pass program, with regional awards being made to outstanding lounges in Zürich (Europe), Seoul (Asia), Dubai (Middle East) and Bogotá (South America).
“It’s a tribute to the high standards of this lounge that it has received this award for the second time,” commented Terry Evans, President of Priority Pass USA, “Our members are discerning, frequent travelers, and they know a thing or two about service.”
Janice Foster, Manager, Continental Airlines Presidents Clubs paid tribute to the staff at the lounge, “Our team at the Presidents Club are what makes the lounge special. We strive to maintain the highest possible standards in our lounges, and we are delighted that so many members of Priority Pass appreciate that!”
