![]() I prefer-not to suggest anyone else should-to show up early, settle, open up my laptop, relax and have a few drinks and, hopefully, a nice meal or snack. But, I just can't seem to practice it, probably because from my early days, it had been drilled into me that "5 minutes early is on time." So, yeah. It's not a waste of time to me since I can settle in and get some work done, too.The notion that if one's never missed a flight, then he/she has wasted too much time showing up early at the airport-this makes so much sense to me. I arrive early just to get that experience, if the lounge is open and not super crowded. ![]() I find the experience of a nice relaxing lounge adds tremendously to the overall quality of my flight, but if I had 30 minutes I'd hardly bother. To me, the whole point of a lounge is to stay, relax, possibly work, etc., so 30 minutes just seems like a waste when it comes to taking advantage of airport lounges.

The menu itself was pretty limited though much better than the Amex lounge and most domestic lounges. Of course it is impossible to customize anything when you have a check the box menu. If you are lucky maybe a waiter will stop at your table to ask what you want (I saw this happen with others but they completely ignored me). You have to find a seat, then scan the QR code, then order on your phone. You cannot even order at the bar (or so I was told). Second, food and drinks are not grab and go. It was pretty packed at 7pm (as you would expect with all the VS flights).įirst, it is very far from the DL gates, at least 5-10min walk from security checkpoint depending on your pace, and of course much farther to the end of the B gates.
