US Airports Are Rolling Out New Lounge Access Limits
Crowding has pushed several networks to tighten guest policies and add three-hour entry windows.
By CheckedInDaily
Lounge crowding has reached the point where access rules are being rewritten across several major networks.
What is changing
- Three-hour pre-departure entry windows
- Guest access moved behind a per-visit fee
- Same-day boarding pass verification at entry
Who is affected
Cardholders who used lounges as a general airport perk lose the most. Elite members with departing flights are largely unaffected.
