Upcoming Webinar:
Lounge Luxury on a Budget |
Airport lounges are sanctuaries away from the hustle and bustle of airport terminals. You can enjoy unlimited food and drinks, get some work done, have a shower, or simply relax in a comfortable environment ahead of your flight.
If you have airline status or a Business class ticket, you'll probably already enjoy complimentary lounge access. But even if you're stuck in cattle class, there are many other ways to gain entry for very little cost.
One option could be an airline lounge membership. But there are other options which are both cheaper and grant you lounge access regardless of the airline you're flying. For example, it's possible to enjoy unlimited global lounge network access for as little as $150 per year!
If you have a champagne taste on a beer budget, our upcoming webinar is for you! Join Matt at 8pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 8 August.
