Are Airport Lounges Really Worth It? What to Expect and How to Get in

Date: 6/27/23

Travel More Podcast


Traveling through an airport can be stressful and expensive. Movies and TV shows always show airport lounges for business and first class travelers- but we’re here to tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way. Today we’re unveiling the mythical airport lounge experience and letting you know if it’s really worth it and maybe more importantly- how to get in! 

Airport Lounges are not all created equally, we’ve been to some great ones, and some not so great ones. But even the not so great ones beat sitting at the gate for 2 hours before your flight. There are 4 main ways to get in:

  1. Buy a Day Pass
  2. Fly First Class or Business 
  3. Have Status with an Airline 
  4. Have a Great Credit Card

So of course, like most episodes this summer- we suggest getting your feet wet in the travel hacking world. They can get you some great fringe benefits. And while we wouldn’t get the cards JUST for lounge access, it’s nice to have on the side! 



Here’s our favorite lounge access card: Capital One Venture X
