Wifey and I are going to try to get back to Garmisch this winter for a week or so after Christmas, but my budget's pretty thin. That means crappy flights with long layovers. One that would work ideally time- and price-wise would leave us for 9 hours (overnight) at London Heathrow, and suffice it to say I am not an "Admiral's Club" member. There's no USO at Heathrow either. Has anyone figured out the "secret handshake" to get in the highbrow lounges? Or is said community accessible only via the $50 one-day membership fee? Any AA pilots on here who'd like to pull a string or two for us?
