Airport Lounges
August 5, 2008 | Permalink
Road warriors who enjoy checking into an airport lounge with their frequent flier cards may be disappointed when they arrive there, only to find the lounge closed. This could be because of recent trends, such as one The New York Times reports about lounge closures by many US carriers. Fortunately, the current closures are in less-frequented locations—but this may only be the beginning.
To make your airport stay more comfortable—without heading to the lounge—here are a few tips:
Bring an empty bottle – Staying hydrated before boarding a dry plane is a good idea, and there’s nothing against bringing an empty bottle through security. So fill it when you get to your gate and drink up.
Make a restaurant your lounge – If you have a good bit of time before your flight, consider a leisurely drink or meal. The food might not be amazing, but the seats are usually more comfortable than the alternatives.
Ask around – We’ve had articles on the best airports through which to book a layover. In addition to this information, ask fellow travelers, or look online before you go. A comfortable seat in a quiet area can make all the difference; finding the airport that has it is gold.
