I think US Airways policy of charging for drinks (unless you happen to like Bud or Bud Light) sucks monumentally.  If someone pays $50 to get a day pass, they shouldn't have to pay for a decent import or a glass of wine that doesn't resembles colored battery acid.  Yes this Charlotte club is spacious (but also full of traffic come rush hour), but that and a fancy coffee machine is not sufficient justification for the charge.  And the staff - what can I say?  They're not nicknamed \""US Scare\"" for no reason.  This is the third time I've been \""burned\"" by them, and I will even try more to avoid - but in a place like CLT, it's as inevitable as death and taxes - and just about as desirable.
