Jill Robbins is a frequent flyer, flying at least once a month. She enjoys using airport lounges. With her Delta co-branded credit card and Priority Pass membership, she has access to more than 1,500 airport lounges worldwide . These two programs make it easy for her to find a suitable lounge regardless of her destination or airline.
She commented that the airport lounge is a quiet, relaxing space and less crowded than the usual waiting area for flights. In addition, the lounge also has cleaner, more convenient toilets and especially serves free food and drinks.
Here are five things Jill Robbins advises people not to do in airport lounges, based on her experience.
Don't sit in the first chair you see.
Perhaps the most annoying thing about airport lounges is the “seat hogging”. Most people want to find a comfortable seat as soon as they enter the lounge. However, instead of placing your bag on a chair or hogging multiple seats at once, you should pay attention and choose a suitable seat, leaving room for others.
Airport lounges typically have a variety of seating options, from desk-like workspaces with power outlets to plush, upholstered sofas. If the lounge isn’t too crowded, take the time to walk around and look at all the seating options before making your final choice.
Choose armchairs with built-in USB ports to charge your phone. Alternatively, choose seats away from the bar, buffet, and restroom areas for the quietest possible space.
Don't eat or drink too much.
One of the most appealing features of airport lounges is the complimentary food and drinks. Each lounge’s menu will vary, from carefully curated chef-curated menus to pre-packaged snacks, but all offer plenty of hot, delicious options.
However, don't let yourself be tempted by the "free stuff means you have to eat it" mentality. Instead, only eat in moderation, or when you're really hungry and know you won't have the chance to eat again for a long time.
Bars are always a popular tourist attraction, but you need to be moderate when it comes to free alcohol. It’s okay to enjoy an occasional drink, but don’t let yourself get so dehydrated before a long flight, or lose control of your luggage, or forget about boarding time.
Don't sleep in the waiting room
No matter how tired you are and how comfortable the lounge is, you should not sleep in the airport lounge. Because you may miss your flight. Moreover, most lounges have time limits, instead of sleeping, getting up and relaxing is enough to reduce fatigue.
Not interested in other guests
Airport lounges are like miniature public spaces, so always be polite and respectful of those around you. Headphones are an unwritten rule in public, but many people watch videos or FaceTime without them.
You should avoid other inappropriate behaviors such as taking off your shoes, putting your feet up on a chair, or relieving yourself in public places outside the restroom.
The waiting room creates a comfortable, home-like space, but remember that it is a public space and we need to be respectful of other guests.
Don't go to the waiting room if your layover time is too short.
While you may enjoy using airport lounges, you should consider stopping by one unless your layover is two hours or more, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the airport in your new location. You don’t want to miss a flight just to enjoy a little extra comfort.
