I agree 100% when talking domestic lounges, internationally I have not seen this problem especially the airline specific lounges. The problem and I admit I am part of the problem is the CC lounge access paths that are much more popular in the US than internationally. Where premium CC fees tend to be higher and the awards earning lower.Airport lounges have become a joke. They are now packed since "everyone" has access. Kids running around, people under-dressed, day-drinking. The staff always seems to have a hard time keeping up and keeping the lounge clean. I actually sometimes find it's quieter at the gate, and opt to sit there instead!
Cheers
I still find the Priority Pass restaurants useful. They were already better because many of the popular CC providers had removed this benefit. With Chase dropping them in July I expect the restaurants to be even more sane. I get access via my legacy Citi Prestige card (no longer available to new customers). After July on the C1 Venture Business and some second tier banks will have this access on cards that are available for new apps.
