I’m totally jelly. In my years of traveling, I have never been in an airport lounge. Flying into LAX in a few months on JetBlue from Syracuse NY, how can I get into LAX lounge? What card would I need?
Awesome report!

Hi Barb!
There are several different airport lounge programs, and because of that, there are many ways to receive access to a certain group of them. The most common airport lounge program is Priority Pass which is offered as a perk with quite a few credit cards. Have you seen our post on the best travel credit cards for Priority Pass access? I think you will find it very helpful! /best-credit-cards-for-priority-pass-lounges/
Thanks for reading!

Hi Jarrod – thanks for the thorough report on all the lounges! Just to confirm – if i have a first class CX ticket arriving in HKG, connecting to a CX biz class ticket out of HKG, would I be able to check out multiple lounges (i.e. both Pier First and Pier Business)? Don’t they take away your lounge invitation card upon entry? Thanks so much!!

Hi Jess,
Since your boarding pass will only be a business class ticket, you might not be permitted to enter the Pier First section, but if you speak with the agent and explain that you arrived on a first-class ticket then they may allow it.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for responding Jarrod! I guess my question is more about whether you can enter multiple lounges in one layover? Assuming they let me into the first class lounge, would i still be able to check out the business lounge after? I have read online where people have used various CX business lounges at HKG, just wondering how that works?? Thanks again!!

Hi Jess,
Happy to help! Yes, you can definitely enter multiple lounges on one layover! They will just need to check and make sure you’ve got the appropriate boarding pass for each lounge you enter.
