Thankfully lounges are for everyone who qualify not just those that travel frequently because they took a job where they need to travel. Opposed to those who do not travel for their job but do appreciate the finer things in life which may be enjoying a lounge at the airport a few times a year. Lounges are certainly A LOT more crowded and that stinks but both types of travelers have to deal with it, some more frequently than others. It seems there’s a lot of negativity towards the non-business traveler with a good amount of entitlement going on.
