- Instead airlines are trying to attract customers by offering premium lounge experiences on the ground.
- At the best lounges you can find concierges who can score theater and dinner reservations in locations across the world.

- British Airways’ Concorde Room has museum-quality art and leather seats taken from the now decommissioned Concorde.
- Other lounges offer designer haircuts, iron service while passengers shower, and wine bars.
