More champagne for travelers as American Airlines expands VIP lounges in Miami
American Airlines wants to make the time customers spend at Miami International Airport more enjoyable. So the carrier announced Wednesday plans to expand its VIP lounges for frequent travelers. Plans include building a new Flagship lounge, the airline's fanciest airport amenity. American will also expand its current Admirals Club lounge. When the project opens, the airline said it will have almost twice the amount of lounge space at MIA. 'The lounge experience plays a key role in enhancing that travel journey, offering a quiet and comfortable respite from the busy terminal,' Juan Carlos Liscando, American's vice president of MIA operations, said in a statement. He described the future area as 'new and improved spaces to relax, work and play.' MORE: Colombian airline Avianca opens new lounge at Miami airport. Take a look This will be American's sixth Flagship lounge. In May, the airline unveiled the lounge at Philadelphia International Airport's Terminal A West. American now offers three VIP lounges at MIA. An Admirals Club lounge is at gate D15. Flagship and Admirals Club lounges are at D30. With the new plans, that Flagship lounge, which opened in 2017, will be converted into an expanded Admirals Club lounge. Meanwhile, the new Flagship lounge will be built from scratch. That space will offer champagne on arrival, local food items and a la carte dining, the airline said. VIP members or day-pass holders can get free food. In recent years, airlines have invested heavily in their frequent flier lounges. In 2024, Delta Air Lines upgraded its VIP lounge at MIA. In March, Avianca and TAP Portugal unveiled a renovated space. American didn't provide a timeline or give details on whether the current lounges will close or be affected once construction starts. The airline also didn't say where the new Flagship lounge would be located at MIA. The moves comes as American is operating its largest summer schedule to date from MIA. In June, the airline started non-stop service to Rome. American has more than 400 peak daily flights from MIA and serves more than 30 million customers a year. The airline is also a large source of work in the region, employing more than 14,500 people at the Miami airport.

Goaltending Duel Gives Lions a 3-2 Edge In North Division Finals
The Trois-Rivieres Lions have put themselves in the driver's seat of the Kelly Cup North Division Finals with a 1-0 overtime shutout of the Norfolk Admirals Sunday at the Norfolk Scope Arena. It was as tough and tight a contest as one might expect from a playoff hockey series. It also didn't take long for things to get chippy. From the opening faceoff, German Yavash energized the fans at the Scope by dropping the gloves with Morgan Adams-Moisan, showcasing a spirited exchange. The opening 20 minutes went by with no scoring and few shots, with the Admirals outshooting Trois-Rivieres 5-3. Trois-Rivières picked up momentum in the second period. They put pressure on Admirals goaltender Thomas Milic, who came into the contest second in the post-season with a .958 save percentage. But the Norfolk netminder stood tall. At the other end, Luke Cavallin remained flawless, turning aside all six shots he faced in the frame. The Lions had the edge in shots 9-6 in the period. Both teams had solid scoring opportunities in the third period, including on the power play, but neither was able to light the lamp by the end of regulation. The scoreless tie heading into overtime marked the first time in ECHL post-season history that three games in a series would be decided by a 1-0 final score. In overtime, the Lions had two significant scoring opportunities, but Milic, along with the Admirals' defense, successfully thwarted the ensuing threats. The Admirals subsequently generated several chances of their own, yet Cavallin was able to deny both attempts. It wasn't until the final seconds of the first overtime period that the tie was finally broken, when Anthony Beauregard delivered another clutch playoff goal off a feed from Jakov Novak from a turnover, sealing the win for the Lions. The series now shifts back to Trois-Rivières for Game 6 on Tuesday night at Colisée Vidéotron. Puck drop is set for 7 Pm ET. If necessary, Game 7 will also be played in Trois-Rivières.
