Have you ever seen an airport meltdown? When one flight is delayed, others often get stuck too, and the airport can quickly become overwhelmed with hundreds of frustrated, tired, and sometimes angry passengers. Seats fill up, and people end up sitting on the floors for hours, waiting for their flights to depart.
Yet there's always a quiet corner of the airport, behind a understated door where a privileged few relax in comfort and solitude. These lounges can offer guests free food, drinks, Wifi, and even a shower, yet membership typically costs around $500 a year.
For less money than that, you can have a credit card that offers airport lounge membership in one or more programs, plus a whole host of other included benefits. So whether you just want to be able to wait for your flight in comfort, or you're avoiding an airport meltdown, here are the best cards that can get you into the exclusive lounge at no additional cost.
