I'm with you on that. I went my entire college career never ever drinking more than just a few small sips of alcohol, in fact I ditched it completely when I was 26. To this day I am a triple zero. No alcohol, no nicotine, no caffeine. (I seriously dislike coffee and Coca Cola.)
Yes, I focused on academics and still had a good time in college. I got my Masters from UCLA at the age of 23. Back to the subject of airline lounges. At your age I had no clue how much my body would deteriorate in the next 40 years. I now have arthritis and have some difficulty walking. The days of having a great time roaming around the airport just to see what's there (shops, etc) are over. I go from Point A to Point B and minimize the time on my feet. I try to connect through DFW because they have electric carts that whisk me to where I need to be. It sounds like you are on the right track, with a healthy personal life - college life - work life balance. I suggest you take time, occasionally, to reevaluate and see if adjustments in your time are necessary. Finally, more advice. Do not underestimate the value of making a good selection of a life partner. One of the best and smartest things I ever did was stick with my then-boyfriend, now-husband. It's absolutely possible to go through life without an SO, but having the right SO makes a lot of little things a lot easier. |

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I pulled up the SC lounges in BOS and they say they have bars. Does this mean they're self service bars or not necessarily?

Yes but those domestic lounges are crap compared to flagship lounges or the Centurion lounges.

Both Sky Clubs in Boston have bartenders and are not self-service. They are also currently renovating one of the clubs in Boston (it is still open during renovation) and are adding showers there, if that makes any difference to you.

I would argue that the flagship and centurion lounges are still behind some first class lounges in Europe and Asia. The Cathay Pacific lounge in LHR is probably the nicest lounge I’ve ever been to.
along with the first lounge in BOM... |

As far as J lounges go, I'd say the Virgin clubhouse at LHR (and its smaller cousin at JFK) is the best in the world, and actually on par with many OneWorld F lounges. If you switch to DL, you can use the Clubhouse when flying either VS or DL metal on a transatlantic flight to/from the UK, either in business class or as DL Plat/Diamond (or I think Gold outside of LHR). |
I would recommend optimizing your credit card lounge access based on the airline you fly.
Boston on AA you have the admirals club but you also have priority pass restaurants which are available if non Amex priority pass. There is lots of good working space in BOS terminal B as it's underutilized. In terminal A at BOS with DL the terminal is crowded and the lounge is nice. If I were in your shoes, I'd take the citi executive credit card and stick with AA. Maybe get a chase card or something else with priority pass and enjoy the PP restaurant in BOS terminal B. |

I found out I can buy day passes for the ACs. Depending on how often I fly out of Boston it might make more sense to get the annual membership. Just $600 that stings to spend haha

Maybe its just me. But this thread just doesn't add up.

You can also buy the membership with miles if you don't want to spend the cash.

Yes, but it's also a bad use of miles in my opinion. I flew business class LHR-PHL-MIA with MileSAAver for like 57.5k miles + $300 or so. AC membership is 60k per year for PL, and that flight I took definitely costs more than $600

Why's that? I hope it's not because I'm young and I fly a lot.
