    You know, for long layovers, you can actually buy a day pass for an airport lounge. I think we had a 4-6 hour layover in Atlanta. We are Delta FF. DH got in free because he has Xyz status and we paid for passes for the rest of us. I think it was $25 a person and it was worth it. Hang out in a comfy chair with an outlet right there. Kids could get all the snacks they wanted. Free drinks. Loved it.

    I’ve heard of airport lounges but never actually seen one I guess that’s what I get for flying Southwest! At all the airports I fly to or through, the only lounges are in a completely separate terminal or a different concourse with a separate security line. Fortunately I can generally avoid long layovers...

    ETA: after some googling, I discovered that an Escape Lounge (apparently a national chain, not affiliated with any airline, looks like the fee is ~$45) has JUST opened at my most frequent destination airport. So new that, although the airport website mentions it, there’s no info about where it’s located!

    Any experience with these?

    This is a super sore spot with me right now. We have Priority Pass, but the layover is in Denver so the only Access is at TimberlineRestaurant. We had planned to have a long breakfast there and would have gotten about $100 worth of credit through Priority Pass. But, Amex isn't allowing restaurant use of Priority Pass, as of the first day of our trip. Same impact at MSP (where we leave from) - we would have gotten into the the PGA Lounge - also gone as of the first day of our trip.

    My 10YO brings Cat Crimes and Uno. There is also an app version of Sushi Go that's fun.
