Lounges have been in the news recently, with revelations the Australian Prime Minister’s 22-year-old son had been granted access by Qantas to its ultra-exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.
There’s a feeling that often creeps up as you wander the airline lounge, hoping to find somewhere to sit. As you walk past the little snack buffet, and the magazine rack, and the coffee machine, and the TV playing CNN, you can’t help but think to yourself… Is this it?
And I would have to say, right up front, that yes, being in an airline lounge is better than not being in an airline lounge. If someone offers you complimentary access to one of these areas, à la Nathan Albanese, you wouldn’t say no.There are facilities here that you just can’t get anywhere else in the terminal. The seating is more comfortable. The entertainment options are greater. The Wi-Fi is unlimited. The food and drink is free.
This is an experience you tend to have throughout much of the world, however. Having lounge access is better than not having it. But it still doesn’t feel as good as it should be.
