[QUOTE=32LatT10;36340342]Me as well. Peacefulness has been harder to come by, particularly the last few years. Summer and holiday travel has always been a mess as long as I have been doing this, but instead of premium/elite services (lounges, premium cabins, priority access lines, etc.) offering somewhat of a respite, they are now just as oversubscribed and chaotic as the rest of the airport and therefore the overall experience is universally bad. Will be interesting to see what is yet to come.

It’s still a pleasure traveling internationally, as the AF and KLM lounges for the size are so quiet compared to the rift raft Golden Coral buffet style lounges in the states. However, the new Delta One lounge(s) is DL marketing, as what is yet to come will be the bundling of D1 lounge access as an add on to Delta One fare. Delta’s executives have been dropping hints of this.
