Just stayed at a Miracle lounge for 9 hours overnight in Bangkok when they said it was a “2 hour limit.” Got in multiple meals, a decent nap and a shower

I just went to a lounge in AMS(Schipol) and they turned me down for arriving too early. Only three hours allowed.

First World Problems. How cute

How does PP, DragonPass, LoungeKey compare?

I’ve actually gotten that excuse anytime I’ve used PP over the last 7 years so I’ve stopped trying.

Happened to me in Boston too. Just like Ikon pass led to overcrowding at ski resorts

I just go straight to the USO. Never had a problem. Of course, being an actively serving military reservist helps with that.

Reservist? Thanks for being a weekend warrior…😅 enjoy the uso lounge

I gave up my United Club membership and my Amex Platinum for this reason (and the obscene escalation in fees). United Club is now like $600 for the privilege of eating cheese and crackers in a crowded lounge…no thanks

I have been considering not renewing my United Club membership. It’s just nice having a space to wait with Wi-Fi, snacks, drinks before a flight (and somewhere to go after a flight if I need to change clothes or quickly get some work done)

American Flagship Lounges—no issues. First class dining is worth it. United Clubs (ex. Polaris) are crowded dumpster fires

AMA: International Travel (US to Europe) During Coronavirus! I found very little info on this topic before my trip and had a bunch of questions which I wish someone could have helped with.

For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
