    The quality of lounges have dropped a lot in 2023 with overcrowding. Among the worst I'vel seen in Canada, USA, and Europe this year is Vancouver. Line ups to get into a lounge that is more crowded that the departure area.... And I have been through the airport multiple times. Also, increasingly dragon pass hasn't helped to get into lounges when the designated lounge is associated with an airline. I've been turned away by Virgin and Turkish airways this year when I tried to enter with dragon pass in the USA because they said they lounge was at the capacity for Dragon Pass users.

    I know this is a first world problem but I think there should be some sort of refund or compensation if lounges are at maximum capacity and refuse guests. We paid directly and indirectly for lounge access, we shouldnt be refused something we paid for. Its the lounge's job to manage their capacity and limit access. Its so frustrating to show up at a lounge and be told "there's a waitlist of 3 hours"

    I’m actually not too miffed by lounge overcrowding. I go there to have access to comfortable chairs, free food, and most importantly WiFi and working outlets. I hate when children are yelling and screaming, but that’s what noise canceling headphones are for.

    I recently flew YHZ-YVR-SFO and reverse a week later. Each of these have a Maple Leaf lounge which I visited; I have lounge access through my credit card. Long gone are the days of the upper echelons accessing these lounges; now it’s run of the mill types from all walks of life hoarding free food and drinks in an undignified manner. I couldn’t enjoy the beautiful lounge at SFO because of the woman that didn’t think twice about talking freely on her phone in an area where patrons are asked to refrain from using them, there were 7 signs staring her in the face stating as much. Somehow the terminal seems a better place to sit now, pretty much free of the sheep.

    I went in my first lounge 2 weeks ago. it was an early flight out of TO in the am. No food at time we showed up. , wait for coffee because kids were making hot chocolate, then machine had to reheat water. Overall, free barely makes its worthwhile to attend. If it was later and I had booze, maybe it is different. Shitty breakfast that is free, flip a coin. Really disappointed in what my premium credit card provides. Looking int marmot convoy.

    How many people you can bring to a lounge?

    • @PrinceofTravel
      @PrinceofTravel  4 месяца назад

      It varies by access method (credit card) and lounge, but the Canadian American Express Platinum card allows the cardholder and one guest. Sometimes children under 16 are allowed for free. Holding a paid supplemental card would allow that person to bring a guest, so in that example you could bring four adults.

      They are free once you have access, as opposed to having access to the lounge and still have to pay for F&B in addition. That's the contrast.
