Business fliers must mix with the unwashed masses

| 28 July 2008 16:05

For someone like me who flew nearly 150 flights in 2007, airport lounges are great bonus. Kicking back at Toronto’s Pearson airport with all the free Molson you want makes airport delays doable. And the children’s room with near sound-proof walls? You have to love that.

But, now another perk of business flying goes up in smoke like so many expired frequent flier miles: airlines are shutting down airport lounges.

Horrors, I say! Where will I watch CNN, surf the net, and get my free beer and wine now? Not at my favorite Delta Crown room it seems. They’ve been shut down.
