What should you know before your first airport lounge visit? Mostly, do ten minutes of homework first. Read a recent review or forum thread for that specific lounge: the layout, where the buffet is, when food service changes. Walk in knowing the lay of the land and you skip the […]
Air France opened its first dedicated Heathrow lounge in 17 years on July 7, 2026, a 750-square-meter space in Terminal 4. But whether you can walk in depends on your fare code, not your cabin. A Business Standard or Flex ticket gets you in. Business Light does not, unless you […]
I am sitting at Newark’s Gate C109 with a dry Starbucks muffin and a lukewarm coffee. It is 6:45 am, and the airport hum is already a dull roar that vibrates in my teeth. Most travel bloggers would tell you I should be in a lounge, sipping complimentary prosecco because […]
If you fly four to ten times a year, you probably don’t need a credit card with a $595-$895 annual fee. I’ve seen the marketing. They promise an “elevated” experience, but for the occasional traveler, the math rarely adds up for a premium card just to get a few snacks […]

DFW was a mess. Total mayhem. Severe thunderstorms in North Texas turned the airport into a parking lot over Memorial Day, with FAA ground stops making a bad situation even worse. Then Denver got hit with an FAA ground stop mess. And LaGuardia had the sinkhole problem on Runway 4/22 […]
If you’re fresh to travel and a first time airport lounge guest you may ask “What even is an airport lounge?” An airport lounge is a members-only or paid waiting area inside the airport where travelers can sit in a quieter space, use Wi-Fi, grab food and drinks, and sometimes […]
February 1, 2026. The date the Venture X party ended. Capital One finally pulled the plug on the most generous guest policy in the premium card market. No more “bring the whole squad” for free. The era of the “free lunch” in Denver, Dallas, Dulles, LAS, and JFK is officially […]
