Does an airport club lounge operator sell out when it opens up to walk-in passengers on the day of their travel? Lots of talk around this point as the emerging independent lounge operators democratize their hospitality services making them accessible to every passenger rather than just those who have eligible entry through their airline and travel class. Does this demean and devalue the cache of special places that make guests feel special or does it enhance the airport experience for every traveler by offering them comfort and relaxation at affordable prices on the day of their trips? The evidence from the market suggests that both can and do exist comfortably alongside each other and this is supported by the growing networks AND reputations of operators like Plaza Premium Group, CAVU and No1 Lounges Ltd who are consistently winning prestigious international awards for their offerings. The challenge to the established airline operators presented by these independents has caused everyone to up their games and elevate their experiences with the guests as the main beneficiaries, whether they've paid thousands for the privilege of guaranteed access or $40 for a 3 hour visit. When gorgeous spaces like this - the stylish and breezy Plaza Premium Lounge at Orlando International Airport - are created alongside the Admirals Clubs and Polaris Lounges it is hard to argue that there has been anything other than enormous step up across this whole sector of hospitality. #clublounges #airportexperiences #brandactivations #passengerexperience #hospitality #guestapproval About Wand.
