What’s for breakfast in the American Airlines Flagship Lounge in Miami?
I’m not a fan of taking photos of airline lounges when there are other people in the picture (which is why the hideously packed and ugly Admirals Club in Charlotte never gets a review from me!). However, I like knowing what’s for breakfast in a lounge and you can usually...
