Keep an eye out for single-use lounge passes! Airlines sometimes issue these as compensation for significant flight delays or service issues. Certain co-branded airline credit cards offer a limited number (e.g., two) of lounge passes each year as an anniversary perk. Occasionally, travel expos or airline promotions might distribute them too. While not a consistent strategy, accumulating these vouchers can provide valuable lounge access for those occasional long travel days when you need it most.
