It's the airport lounges you have to pay for that is. Do you use them? I have on ocassion but unless you are into lots of alcohol, I am not it's worth all the noney you have to pay. What you get varies so much from one to another and personally some of the ones I enjoyed the most were abroad. |

I work overseas I only fly business, the lounge access in most airports is definitely worth it.
Most have decent WiFi, showers (if you have a long enough layover) free coffee, alcohol, food.
And depending what countries/continents you’re travelling through then hygiene and basic amenities are worth it alone. |

You are right and also found some super ones but some, especially in UK I find a little minimalistic but that's my opinion of course as usually take early flights and certainly don't use the free alcoholic drinks either. |

I think airports on the whole in the uk seem better with all the choice of cafes, restaurants, duty free etc etc especially now they’re open again post covid, travelling during that was a ballache anyway without everything being closed too, but there’s ways to pass your time.
Not as much need for the lounge access.
I generally find when I use the lounges in the uk it’s just celebs that use them to avoid the public, there’s no other major advantage to them, I agree with you there.
Overseas though they’re a definite for me.
The good and platinum tend to be better than the paid but obviously you need accounts, air miles, upgrades etc for those.

"We’ve used them a few times. Problem now is that the security queues are so long winded, we wouldn’t have been able to get through £90 of booze between us before boarding! "
 that's true and some of them don't open early enough if you have an early flight. |

"I get free access although with the mayhem at airport less likely to be able to use "
Yes some of the scenes shown are a disgrace. The last thing you need when you are trying to have a relaxing break. |

The one time I used one, was the Leeds/Bradford airport one. There was a hold up on the way to the airport so we got about 15 minutes in the lounge. Frantically ramming croissants in our gobs and swigging back pop and water and speed reading the newspapers to try to get out monies worth. I’d do it again though.  |
