What used to be a simple concept has turned into a complex decision making process. Not long ago, you’d get an American Airlines Admirals Club membership if you flew AA…a Delta Sky Club membership if you flew Delta Air Lines…or a United Club membership if you flew United. That was it. But on top of all those, there are even more airlines getting into the airport lounge game (like JetBlue lounges and Southwest lounges)…and some people may fly multiple airlines regularly! And then there are independent access programs like Priority Pass and Lounge Club, which aren’t associated with any particular airline and have a strong international presence. AND in more recent years, there’s been a big surge in banks developing their own lounge concept (like the American Express Centurion Lounge, the Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club, and the Capital One Lounge). Plus, some airport lounges are coming up with new concepts, like grab and go options. So, when it comes to asking yourself the question, “Are airport lounges worth it?,” it’s no longer a simple answer. This video will take you through the new thought process to answer that question FOR YOU.
