As post-pandemic travel continues to surge across the world, travelers are flocking toward airline lounges in droves.
However, the high demand for these exclusive lounges has reportedly created long lines and big crowds in airports that are putting airlines and credit card companies in a bit of a bind.
As a result, some airlines – such as U.S. giant Delta Air Lines – have implemented heightened thresholds for access to airport lounges in their loyalty programs .
With travel demand showing no signs of slowing down, credit card companies and airlines must find the right balance between exclusivity and accessibility for their airport lounges.
