Don't judge me, but I went to 37 lounges last year. Some of these, I did not necessarily plan on so much time spent in them, but they always make that delayed flight a little better. I do have to say there is joy in spending time in a lounge, not just for the food and the shower, but in the reduction in anxiety over a missed flight.

I often intentionally just get there early so I won't miss a flight. And if everything does go to schedule, then I have a free meal. I sip on an espresso martini. I get some work done. We talked about long layovers. I recently had a six hour layover in London Heathrow. And I actually thought this would have been way too long, but that airport is massive. And actually it's pretty inefficient.

I had to go through customs. Then I had to board a bus. Then I had to wait in another huge security line. By the time I got to the Centurion Lounge in Heathrow, I basically only had time to shower and eat anyway.
