Ok I just walked past an airport lounge and I felt like a kid staring into a candy store lol. I'm just doing enough travel these days to find perks like that intriguing. For those who have lounge access, worth the hype?

Eh. It’s a nice perk when you have time to kill, but the lounges are getting more and more crowded with wait times occurring more frequently. Plus guest policies are getting nerfed and annual fees keep spiking so it’s getting more and more expensive to even use the lounge in the first place.

They are not the same as before covid. Depending on timing it can be an unsupervised daycare while you’re trying to have a call. (Adults are rude as well). And, I have no idea where the hoards of people came from, they were never this crowded

Agree with D1. If you do go for a card with lounge access, do a branded airline card. The priority pass lounges are garbage and so crowded. The high tier airline ones (Polaris, AA flagship) are often still nice and not overcrowded

Yeah sorry those were two separate thoughts lol

bro u a consultant, aren’t they covered by your company? in any case just walked by one with a massive line at 8AM. Def not worth standing in line for.

If your company pays for lounge access, your company charges its clients too much. Come work in federal where we follow federal acquisition requirements.

Priority pass lounges are very disappointing in the US but can be pretty nice abroad. Of course, most of your travel is probably domestic so...

Unless you're flying business and can access those lounges, the next best are the card specific ones (Sapphire, Capital One, Centurion). Myself and P2 both have a VX just for the C1 lounge at our home airport.

I got the impression this was a small but fast growing team on the west coast, and the work sounds like a combination of product, agile delivery, and roadmap dev.

Is it truly a hot/growing market like my interviewers have portrayed it as?
