RIP Airport Lounges (2005-2025)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 12th, 2025 7:00 PM Author: shitlib shibboleth These places have become fucking pathetic. So much trash in flip flops and sweatpants. Ridiculous rules limiting how long you can be there. Shit food. People trying to eat actual lunch/dinner for free. They have become pathetic and unusable.
How long until someone opens pay for service premium lounges in high-traffic locations? (Like Zero Bond to stay away from proles as long as possible when flying.) |

Just use that money to pay for the food you want when its convenient. |

Also, in NYC if I have an 11 am flight I just go to the airport after dropping the kids off at school. Why would I risk missing a flight due to traffic if I can email from the airport same as home? |
