I had to look ....
Wow......indeed creditcards needed to be squeezed in!

interesting,
the post not providing a different angle of why it is so crowded,

As i wrote in the KLM mess in Schiphol thread,
- besides travel volume keeping high to catch up with pent up demand due past covid travelrestrictions, people

- unavailable or reduced staffing, so much service operated under a skeleton crew causing more delay / limitations

- (indoor) business space might have a maximum amount of persons being regulated (covid/fire safety)
more spaced out seating can accomodate less guests for a spot to sit


- "social media sources" claim that with the new -adapted- booster vacination programme (starting) going round the western countries, this might become a mandatory demand for wintery travel / 2023 to go abroad travelling on international transport and for entering foreign countries, so people try to get in travel asap

- my cynic explaination, contrary to OMAAT's believe :
literary everyone in the USA has a creditcard
with some (lounge) priority pass type scheme
as due to TPG/OMAAT and others
relentless creditcard hawking and promoting/influencing the "Hobby"
as to go fully mainstream (youtuber flight reviews)
and commercial...... that his simple post as hockeystl already mentions, contains 3 creditcard links.....!
