Not well… For us, at least.

Please elaborate. I have no idea why you’re talking about and I am curious.

I assumed he was referring to the employee embargo.

Just how non-revs can’t use the sky club. I mean I agree that they were getting overcrowded…but we’re special!

Talk about overcrowded lounges. Went on an int'l trip recently (bought tickets) and we have some fancy cc that gives access to one of the non-Skyteam lounges. We tried to go in and they told us "we're full". We asked "How long until we can go in?", their response was "we don't have a set waiting time, we can't tell you how long it will be."

It was the same on the way back, except they had wait-times (2hr+). Kind of makes that 'perk' worthless. Apparently we needed to reserve a spot in the lounge days or more in advance to be able to actually use it.

They should build more lounges then. Right after every gate in the system gets extremely cold extremely high volume air. Long before the next round of stonk burnbacks.

They should end lounge access via credit card perks. Once people realized they could get lounge access for a few hundred bucks per year vs thousands, it was all over.

I agree, that’s by far the biggest driver of overcrowding…but Amex gives us billions, so that’s not going to happen.

It's so strange. I really thought kicking out 2 employees from the lounge was going to solve the line of 40 people waiting to get in . It's like employees barely had a noticeable effect
