American Airlines' Airport Clubs Introduce Free Wi-Fi--But Don't Try to Poach!

Following the lead of other airlines, such as Northwest, American Airlines announces free Wi-Fi access to guests who are members of its Admirals Club airport lounges.  But if you're hoping to lurk outside the door of American lounges and pick up that signal, well, don't bother.  In the case of American, you'll have to type in your Admirals Club membership number in order to get onto the Internet.  Membership costs between $300-$450 a year, though day passes may also be purchased.  Of course, if all airports offered area-wide, free Wi-Fi, the world would be a much better place.
