American Airlines is bringing a new fleet type to New York.
I visited an airport lounge for the first time and 6 things surprised me, from free facials to private suites

I hate the airport — and who doesn't?
For most, air travel comes with a reluctant attitude while waiting at crowded gates, desperate to find a seat, or otherwise settling for a spot on the ground. The lucky ones have access to limited outlets for charging devices, while the rest are forced to conserve battery life.
On a long travel day, it can be a pretty unbearable experience.
But going to the airport doesn't have to be this way, as I learned last month when I visited an airport lounge for the first time — the Chase Sapphire Lounge at NYC's LaGuardia Airport (LGA).
The credit card company has lounges in Boston, Hong Kong, and most recently, LGA and John F. Kennedy International Airport in NYC. Both opened in January 2024, according to the company's website.
Banks like Chase are paving the way for travel credit cardholders to get a relaxing, luxurious experience up to three hours before their flight with complimentary drinks, meals, and facials.
After touring the company's LGA lounge, I think it's worth visiting before a flight, thanks to six surprises that took the experience to the next level.

A trip to this relatively off-the-beaten-track archipelago takes you under the sea – via the world’s first subsea roundabout – over it, on a range of ferries and boat trips, and around it, seeking seabird-filled cliffs, wild beaches and idyllic hiking trails.
