In the UK, the majority of airport lounges that aren’t airline specific, have waiting lists because a lot of people either book it themselves online in advance for around £40 or it comes included with people’s holiday package when they book with a travel agent.

@eew12 Год назад

I'm laughing as I say this, but I truly think that you guys are part of the reason the lounges are more crowded now. I never thought lounges were accessible to me until I started following your travel journey years ago. You gave us that secret, and it's not a secret anymore. No regrets though. I get in 95% of the time, and that's not bad odds.

@cyndicunanan400 Год назад

Going to have to try JetBlue mint. Just flew to london last month and immediately took the tube to kings cross and jumped on a train to Glasgow. Was the perfect way to cure jet lag because we’d been up for over 24 hours by the time we got to our hotel in Glasgow but it was 8 pm so we could shower and go straight to bed. Slept for 10 hours straight and were perky and ready to sightsee the next morning.

That sounds like the perfect jet lag cure for that trip. Thanks for sharing!

Lounges partnered with the Priority Pass network straight-up rejecting Priority Pass customers is really becoming a common occurrence. Flew from JFK a few weeks ago to FLR and luckily I had a business class ticket because the attendants at the Air France lounge at T1 were rejecting Priority Pass customers like they would be fired on the spot if they accepted even one PP customer. This also happened on my return flight from FCO to JFK at the Plaza Premium lounge as they only allowed people with business/first class tickets access. There was a line when I arrived at the lounge as the attendants told them to form a line. When I left 3 hours later, the line did not move at all. I think Priority Pass has reached its limit when partners just reject serving customers.

Nate this is where people go worng if you go to sleep on the plane on a long haul flight you make jet lag so much worse sleep normal time at destination. By sleeping on the plane you throw your body clock right out. I am going to Hawaii from the uk in a few months a 19 hour flight with connections. I will stay awake till I get to Hawaii and sleep as normal of a night time. Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. Try it.

Woohoo! A double feature Saturday with Kara and Nate! 🎉 This one was quite informative. 1. I didn't know that lounges could be wait-listed when full...what? It is not guaranteed entry? Well, I guess it makes sense because, during busy times, I can imagine it gets full and they have to manage it. Okay. 2. The Transfer partner cheatsheet ❤ A must-have! I never imagined myself ever traveling on Jet Blue however, the comparison of Southwest to Jet Blue, makes me want to give it a try. Onwards to the look for the Kara and Nate main channel video! What a great start to a 3 day weekend! 🥰

@1989cscs Год назад

Definitely agree on priority pass - I used to use it almost every trip, but now I find it either (a) is too busy to get into the lounge like you mentioned or (b) the lounge that you can access through it is just really subpar or in a terminal so far away it doesn't make sense to use.

In general, I found non-Amex PPS is a lot more useful than the Amex ones. The PPS card came with Chase Sapphire Reserve can be used for restaurant as well besides lounge. In Boston, there's a restaurant called Stephanie's and with non-Amex PPS, you can get $25ish dollar per person for 2. Plus, I've seen PP lounge put a sign out that specifically says no Amex PP is accepted at this time. Furthermore, since I live in Boston, I can't wait to experience the new Chase Sapphire lounge.

Using Priority Pass at Tijuana International Tijuana, Mexico over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2022 was a zoo & had a waitlist. Our plane took off before our name was called I guess. February 2023 SFO (San Francisco): We had only 5 minutes at the British Airways lounge - nice place - nobody asked us to leave after 11:30am but we didn't want to be persona non grata. Air France - KLM Lounge (we were flying Air France PREMIUM ECONOMY & ECONOMY) was rude and didn't let us get past the door, but gave us coffee & a sandwich-to-go at a kiosk. 🤬

I'm confused - how is this an underrated way to fly to Europe with points? For JFK-LHR, the best price I'm seeing is 160k one-way. You're also restricted to flying from the northeast US to London. You can fly Iberia to Europe for ~34k one-way in business. United Polaris is 80k one-way. Lufthansa F EWR-FRA is 90k. I've booked RTW tickets with a dozen flights in J for less than 160k. Did I miss something?

@poppinbecca Год назад

It has definitely become more of an issue in the past year. i feel like because of things like tiktok, more people are signing up for credit cards with the priority pass bonus, but not enough new lounges are opening so lounges are always full. It sucks to be turned away when you pay a lot of money for the benefit.

@liferethought Год назад

100% Priority Pass used to be amazing, but in the last few years, the quality of the permitted lounges has plummeted and those that are available usually sit half empty while denying Priority Pass because they are "too busy." I've photographed this and notified Priority Pass, but the situation is only getting worse. The card is no longer worth it to me. Better to buy a coffee or beer in a restaurant and work at the bar then waste hours every time on Priority Pass. Sadly. I used to love it.

@lvthud Год назад

I wouldn't call Mint the most underrated way to fly to Europe, it's been around long enough that people who fly in J know about it, the trick is to get them away from their FF earning/spending airline. In NYC and BOS that isn't so much of an issue as both are hubs for B6.... Priority pass.....Hmmm i'm running around a 50% success in using it, the Escape Lounge has been 100%.

@shaunny0208 4 месяца назад

RE: Priority Pass - YES, over-crowding and long wait times are more and more of an occurrence in my experiences regardless of lounge/airport. I do feel lucky when I can get in, but also I've noticed a few times where the lounge attendant managing the flow of traffic treats me slightly differently as soon as I bust out my Priority Pass membership lol - Their entire demeanor changes and I'm made to feel like I'm trying to pay with an EBT card at McDonald's

Amex Centurion lounges and PP lounges are EXTREMELY overcrowded - my Amex plat renews next month and I doubt I will renew - I can get plenty of those perks cheaper and I won't be disappointed being turned away at the lounges. I have had 18 visits so far this year at Centurion lounges and 14 times have been turned away or put on a waiting list - this is absolutely un acceptable

@ProPainting-u2z Год назад

JetBlue has to be the worst airline ever for customer service. What a sad fall from what they used to be. I would recommend flying with anyone other than JetBlue. They charge $25 to speak to a live person about an issue they have caused. They delayed my flight multiple times. I arrived 5 hours late at 3am & offer nothing in compensation. They try to charge you for anything & everything they can. Please save yourself the aggravation & choose any other carrier. You will regret flying JetBlue if anything ever happens where you need actual customer service. If I could give zero stars I would.

I'm beginning to think the PP (priority pass) is becoming a less of a perk for card holders.

I've had to wait in a long line only once, but I don't fly a lot.
