I Spent 10 Hours in Airport Lounges and Found This BIG MISTAKE

Personal finance and financial management mistakes don’t always look like bad spending — sometimes they look like “free” perks. This video is financial education about airport lounges, crowding, and the hidden cost most travelers miss. I spent 10 hours inside airport lounges across multiple layovers — and found a big mistake most people make when they treat lounge access as guaranteed value. For years, lounges were sold as the ultimate travel upgrade: quiet space, free food, productivity, and relief from crowded terminals. But in 2026, that promise is breaking down. Waitlists, access restrictions, spend thresholds, and guest fees have quietly changed the math. This video breaks down what actually happens behind the frosted glass doors. We analyze how banks pay for lounge visits, why breakage used to subsidize access, how over-participation collapsed the model, and why “premium” now means selective exclusion — not universal comfort. You’ll learn: • Why lounge access is no longer a simple annual-fee benefit • How crowding changed the economics of airport lounges • The real cost per visit most people never calculate • Why banks are raising barriers instead of expanding access • When lounge cards stop making financial sense This is not a complaint about crowds. It’s a systems analysis of why something that felt free now feels scarce. If you care about travel, money, and understanding how perks quietly decay as systems mature, this episode will change how you evaluate lounge access — and premium cards in general.
