However, despite seeming worse this summer, crowded airport lounges are not a new problem. Given the high volume of delays and cancellations that have occurred recently, it's safe to say that these disruptions are at least partly to blame for the increased likelihood of lounges being full. And - in the case of airline-operated lounges - potentially the best spot to get rebooking help.īut this experience becomes far less enjoyable in a hurry after making your way to the lounge only to discover a line or waitlist to get in because the lounge has reached capacity.
After all, whether you visit an airline-operated lounge (such as United Clubs, American Airlines Admirals Clubs, Delta Sky Clubs, etc.) or those operated by credit card issuers (like Capital One and American Express), lounge access is a great way to escape the gate area. When flight delays occur, travelers with access to airport lounges likely head straight there. Airlines pointed to weather, staffing shortages and air traffic control for these numbers. 30, more than 22% were delayed and almost 47,000 more were canceled outright, per FlightAware data. If you've flown at all this summer, you had a decent chance of being inconvenienced at some point along the way.
