When You Meet Someone Unforgettable at the Escape Lounge in Sacramento Airport!

That was the case last week when our flight was delayed at Sacramento Airport. We went looking for someplace to have a quick bite and a glass of wine. First, I had not previously visited an Escape Lounge, there are twenty in the USA at airports. Escape Lounges are independent lounges that offer a relaxing pre-flight experience to travelers or in our case to “kill some time” with a delayed flight. The one at Sacramento airport allows complimentary entry with American Express Platinum card and a limited number of others. Some of the key features are free food and drinks. They have a nicely arranged bar and had some very reasonable wine selections.

We, my wife and I, enjoyed a couple of free glasses of Mer Soleil Chardonnay which were cold and refreshing. We also made two runs to the food station where meatballs, cheeses, potato salad, vegetables, fruits, soups and other items were offered. Televisions were on and Wi-Fi service was available.

We initially met Jannette who was the hostess who simply welcomed us and engaged us from her first hello and wanted to know what else she could do for us. She started out re-arranging some seating for us, then showed us the food station and bar. She repeatedly came by to ask if everything was ok or to remove used plates. She did this to every patron in the lounge! Always with a grin from ear to ear and a soothing voice.
You just don’t find a person of this professional level and engaging personality very often and it should be noted! If you are ever in between flights in Sacramento or delayed, go to the Escape Lounge and see Jannette. Her presence will make your time fly by and so much more enjoyable.
