Default Airport Lounge Access?

Has anyone found a way to enter Airport lounges while on duty?

While sitting around on reserve, I would love to get some free food.

There are credit cards out there that will get you access. However you’ll need to change out of your uniform before going in.

I've heard some guys throw a hoodie over the shirt before going in. But like said above, you'll have to be a have one of those credit cards or buy a membership to gain entry.

You can buy an employee access membership to the Delta Sky Club. I believe it’s about 350 a year? Or you can get the Delta Reserve CC, it’s 450 a year. You get access to the clubs and 1 round trip ticket for a guest each year.

The delta lounges seem to have the best food options, but it all depends on where you live or commute to and what lounges those airports offer.

Scavengers.
People pay for that privilege you know.
And it’s not like the (frequent) flying public doesn’t recognize a freeloading crew member.

I've used centurion lounges a couple times, they just made me take off my ID.

The problem with AA, UA, and DL lounges is they now require not only a membership but also a same day boarding pass.

Maybe you can try eBay to see if people still try to sell their United MP CC annual passes on the cheap. It’s against the rules but people used to do it. They still require a same day boarding pass though.

Ah this is very true, I’ve only ever used it when doing my cross country commute in “street clothing”.

Sitting in a Delta club right now using a nonrev standby boarding pass and Amex platinum. I'm trying to get on AA. The beer is cold.
