There are plenty of excellent airport lounges around the world. The lounge experience has grown and changed since the early days of business or first class lounges for ticketed passengers. Lounge access is now commonly offered as an elite status benefit, and there are many options for third-party lounges with membership schemes or pay-as-you-go entry. Lounge offerings have expanded, too, with many top-end lounges offering much more than seating, WiFi, and food and drink.
