The Contract Lounge at Pisa Airport

The We enjoyed a pleasant bus ride back to the Pisa Airport this morning, about 50 somewhat scenic minutes from Lucca. At €3 each, it's a bargain. 

We still don't have our 2017 Gold cards 

From United but the agent at the counter called the lounge and they let us in with a smile.

Incidentally, we were pleasantly surprised that the Lufthansa Lounge folks let us in at MUC last week armed simply with our "Star Gold" boarding passes. Their diligence is legendary.

PSA appears to be a somewhat dismal and overcrowded facility, so it's pleasant to relax in this little refuge before boarding our Lufthansa regional jet to Munich.

Yup, dismal. Their pass readers apparently aren't working so it's a laborious one-at-time procedure.

Finally... A Bombardier CRJ 900.
