There are no sleeping areas, no extras like a Playstation area in the Air France lounge in Paris, or a barber shop at the Emirates lounge in Dubai. Even the limited Converse Bank lounge in Yerevan, Armenia offered a shower for those in desperate need. Of the most basic, however, is a shower but this lounge doesn’t offer one. AmenitiesĪs this KLM Crown Lounge is at an outstation with a single daily flight, it’s understandable that some of the normal lounge conveniences are missing. No self-serve drinks other than juice at the lounge, you must wait for an attendant to “serve you.” I almost never drink anyway, so it wasn’t that big of a deal for me to ask for someone to grab me a Diet Coke, but even casual drinkers will find the selection limited and it’s in no danger of becoming a watering hole for abusers of open access to adult beverages. ![]() If I had not been to the Air France lounge before I left, I would say this is the worst lounge at any Houston airport.
