). Many offer private meeting rooms, phone, fax, wireless and Internet access and other business services, along with provisions to enhance comfort such as free drinks and snacks. At lounges, passengers will also find more comfortable seating, quieter environments and better access to customer service representatives than in the airport terminal.

Access to lounges

Access to airport lounges may be obtained in several ways. In the US a common method to gain access is by purchasing an annual or a lifetime membership, while in Europe this is usually impossible. Membership fees are sometimes discounted for elite members of an airline's frequent flyer program, and may often be paid using miles. Certain high-end credit cards associated with an airline, such as the Continental Presidential Plus and the Delta Reserve Credit Card, include membership to the lounges for as long as one owns the card.

Lounge access can also be attained with an airline status card which is common in Europe. The top frequent-flyer levels often offer access to any of an airline's lounges or partner airlines' lounges, when traveling in any class of travel on any of the partner airlines (usually it is required for the cardholder to be booked on one of the carrier's flights within the next 24 hours). Most airlines also usually offer free lounge access to anyone in their premium cabins (first class

 Lounge will also be offered to International First Class and top tier passengers. First Class Lounges are usually more exclusive and will feature extra amenities over Business Class that are more in line with the European/Asian concept of an airport lounge. In the few cases where an amenity is offered only in the Business Class Lounge, First Class passengers are permitted to use the Business Lounge if they wish. In any case, anyone with First Class Lounge access almost automatically has access to the Business Class Lounge, though lounge agents may get confused when passengers choose to use a lesser amenity than they are entitled. In most cases, airlines will offer first class passengers a free pass to their standard airport club. They may also offer Arrival lounges for passengers to shower and rest after coming out of a long-haul international flight.

Further information

Most major carriers have one or more lounges in their hub

Certain ground handling companies also operate lounges and invite passengers from the airlines which they handle.

Many airlines outside North America and Australia do not sell lounge membership, reserving lounge access for elite frequent flyers and passengers in premium cabins. However, if one has a lounge membership in an airline in one of the three major airline alliances (Oneworld
