Access to airport lounges is becoming more restricted as airlines and credit card companies implement stricter entry policies to manage overcrowding. Delta Air Lines, for instance, will limit premium American Express cardholders to 10 or 15 annual visits starting February 1, with additional visits costing $50 each. To maintain unlimited access, travelers may need to meet high spending thresholds or purchase annual memberships. These changes are prompting frequent travelers to seek alternative lounges or adjust their travel plans accordingly.
