I don't think lounges are over-rated but there can definitely be an issue with overcrowding at times. I guess I'm pretty lucky that it's only happened to us twice - Capital One Lounge DFW (turned away and went to Admirals Club) and Delta Sky Club ATL (got in but SUPER crowded). Thanks for the info + video!
Hey Shawn and Mark, just want to say that your new channel is just as enjoyable as your MTM channel. I have subscribed to 20 Minute Travel, and I promise to watch every video as they are posted. Good job, guys!
Homer (I quote from memory): "But Marge, you know my life's goal was to be a monorail driver!" Marge: "I thought your life's goal was to run out on the field during a baseball game." Cut to framed newpaper clipping featuring a photo of Homer on the field, captioned "Idiot Ruins Game."
Went to a cat cafe in Tokyo, it was definitely a novelty type of thing. There is a car cafe in St. Augustine I took my kids to, and in Jacksonville there is a bar/dog park where people take their bestest boys and get a frosty becerage.
We have Clear and are glad we have it. We like the lounges, but not the Priority Pass ones. ATL is our primary airport and the new Centurion lounge is great. We also like the Delta Sky Lounges at ATL. The lounges are a large part of the travel experience for us.
Airport lounges used to be great. Now they are cramped, too crowded and slim pickings on food. The last lounge I visited was in Honolulu for first class passengers and the first thing they did was assign me a seat. I want to sit where I want to sit, not where you tell me!
I rarely use lounge at my home airport as I don't arrive at the airport early enough. But lounges on layovers are a must. I have stayed at the Ginza Centric on points as Globalist. Breakfast is excellent. I also stayed one night at the HR Tokyo Bay the night before leaving and found it pretty mediocre.
Priority Pass lounges are so nasty! There are two of them at my home airport (SEA). One is in the international terminal, and the other is in the A concourse. Almost all of my flights are out of D or N, and when you consider all the walking and all the bad food, I usually just go to Hudson for a bottle of water and then go sit at my gate
We had clear and just got rid of it because it was taking twice as long compared to going in the regular line without tsa pre check. It was a good service a while ago but too many people have signed up for it and I would estimate 40% of the time one of us would have to show our ID still. We have a lounge membership and it saves us money every year.
I wonder if this new pop up is because more Chase cards are going to go to 48 months between SUB, if so you would have 5/24 and 48 months to deal with making it impossible for some to get certain cards. As of now I believe only the CSR/P are 48 months between SUB
That water bottle story is a little old. I saw it in another video like a month ago. BILT, my kingdom for an elevated Hyatt transfer bonus on rent day. That's what that game is all about. So there are all these websites showing people like water bottle lady how to get free travel. Some people should be locked in the cellar and stay locked in the cellar because they don't know how to act in public.
Business or first class lounges can be good. PP and bank lounges … I wouldn’t line up to get in but I’m glad other people are - all those people queuing up make the public areas a little less crowded. 😂
I take an AM flights out of JFK monthly out of T8. The Greenwich lounge is nice. A less busy bathroom and an OK breakfast works for me. It's never that busy in the AM. If you don't want to spend $4 for the water that the cruise provides, don't drink it. Would like to see her reaction if she got a water that someone already drank from.
6 FLAGS IS NOT EVEN THAT BIG. I LIVE HERE IN SAN ANTONIO. WE GO EVERY YEAR.WHAT THEY REALLY NEED IS A CART THAT PICKS YOU UP IN THE PARKING LOT AND TAKES YOU TO YOUR CAR.
