Another time I was in the lounge a family was video chatting with someone without headphones and I told one of the attendants they were disturbing me and they got bitched at for not following the rules that require headphones or to go into one of the designated shut off rooms. I didn't really care but it felt good to see them do that to make my getting drunk experience more pleasant.

It was alright. What's their policy on jorts? Asking for a friend.

All of my best airport experiences happened while I was blacked out from a alcohol + xanax combo. So, I got nothing. The most I can tell you, from the information I gathered from the receipts I found in my peacoat, is that I ordered four Manhattans and two long islands.

They said "business casual", but jeans+polo shirt isn't really that so I think as long as you bend a little to make them feel powerful they'll let you in. It was still ridiculous, I mean I was paying like 3000 dollars for a ticket, the least they could do was let me drink a lot in my clothing of choice.

I don't think I've ever been in an airport lounge. You are talking about the places you can only go if you have an expensive ticket or are part of some sort of program, right? I've been in those weird all-glass rooms you can smoke cigarettes in once. That was not magical, but it was pretty weird!

There is (or was) a nice smoking lounge with drink service in DIA back when I was in college. I would slam a few beers and cigs before my flights while looking out that window at the luggage dudes freezing in the snowy weather.

You can buy a day pass to most of them but otherwise you have to either be in their mileage program. I get 2 day passes a year with my united card, and I think as you move up in the mileage tiers you can get more and they probably won't yell at you as much if you want to wear a tshirt.

Y'all need to get with it. this post addresses what i wanted to get some more anecdotes about : most businessmen i know claim to have zero fear of flying, they love it and their only complaint they admit is that the usual poo poo of it's full of wait times, modern stupid problems like the wifi is slow etc so if the group of people who flies all the time aren't the same as the group who needs a xanax to be willing to possibly fall from the sky as their ending, why do so many people drink so much before flying? is it really just boredom and wanting to pass out instead of watch a movie or read, or are most regular travelers either major alcoholics, anxious children, or both?

They should have a blazer to loan out like many fine establishments do in America, maybe throw in a clip on tie for good measure.

I bring three empty growlers and get then filled. Nothing like taking a pull of booze in front of an entire Mormon family and then belching as I make unlocking eye contact with the mom.
