🥃Sebby, you're the best! Thanks for the DeleteMe info. Your videos are very informative and helpful.💯(I'm reading your credit card reviews) I like the lounges to relax, have quiet time, and get a bite to eat. It's a nice perk for a traveler. I've subscribed. Thanks for sharing! ✈🧳🌍🙂

[@AskSebby]

Thanks! :)

[@balloonpark]

🥃 Lounge focus 1. getting inside in a reasonable amount of time. looking at you amex centurion lounges. 2. comfy place to sit. 3. good food.

[@SaggyJ]

Haven’t stepped foot in centurion in my past 3 trips. Waiting lists are getting ridiculous

[@iTzDritte]

🥃 My top priority for lounges is food (particularly proteins and vegetables).

[@0dylan]

Anything to avoid egregious airport restaurant prices and quality.

[@littledove906]

Likewise, and fresh fruit

[@MrJat227]

As a Venture X cardholder, the Escape lounges are a great addition. Particular since one is at my home airport. There have been complaints about overcrowding so I will see if that is an issue on my next trip. Between that and the Club SFO opening, it has been a good week for priority pass in the US. 🥃

[@Newton240sx]

Exactly, this just opened up a lounge in my home airport for me

[@ricobhi]

I was sad to see that the Escape lounge in my home airport, Fort Lauderdale, isn't included.

[@ARmarketing]

🥃I'm happy with any lounge that has plenty of plugs and scotch in it 😀 Sadly, the one in Syracuse has neither... it's main attraction is that you're leaving Syracuse

[@AskSebby]

Ha!

[@rogerhyman9578]

Traveling to Prague tomorrow from JFK in Delta One so I'm super excited about visiting the Delta One lounge!!

[@John-cv1nx]

I live in Vegas and work in NorCal. I fly back and forth through OAK, so having access to the Escape Lounge with my PP (through my Venture X) is a win!

[@AskSebby]

Nice!

[@_iErik]

I have flown through an airport with an escape lounge since this change. Perhaps of note: the bar now has “tiers” depending on how you got in regarding which drinks are complimentary. Platinum and Centurion card holders get an expanded bar menu that includes some more premium options (this is actually an upgrade from before PP members were let in) and “all other” visitors get the old standard bar menu. Obviously not worth getting a Platinum for if it didn’t already make sense for you, but maybe a point in the Platinum’s favor if you get near-equal value from it or Venture X or CSR.

[@AskSebby]

Thanks for the data points!

[@charleswang3147]

Hey Sebby first time post long time watcher. Any ideas on how many people you can get into the escape lounge with the chase sapphire reserve priority pass. There is no info about this at all on website or anywhere else.

[@yvjyang]

🥃 1) They look awesome! 2) Eating, Drinking & relaxing! Also just a travel enthusiast who wants to see everything that PP offers! 🎉 3) No experience of Escape Lounges yet but I frequent SMF and as a PP holder, I am super excited!

[@ryanccc777]

I have used the VX for PP access as I travel with a family so the PP access / food / better environment to sit and relax has been great overall, not to mention the cost savings of not having to pay for overpriced airport fast food.

[@aysjelow7168]

🥃 Sacramento Escape lounges can already get crowded as they are, this change will make it more so. However, this also means we can bring in our whole family because more of us has Priority Pass. So I guess this is just another one of those we’ll see how our experience is when we try to use it.

[@KASH4069]

Are they still allowing guests with priority pass card holders. It doesn’t say on the their details. Thanks

[@breadman-oc2lx]

🥃Long over due. Great to see #1 airline putting out a incredible area in terminals. Eating,drinking and trying to escape the stress of panicked passengers in the terminals. Have not been to an escape lounge yet. Hoping to make Diamond this year with Delta. May have to make a extra trip to accomplish that goal. Thank you for all of your content.

[@pinkpet25]

Although I’ve been thinking to apply for a chase sapphire reserve card after watching Retirement Travelers, I just haven’t got about doing it until I watched your video on Chase Sapphire Reserve vs Preferred which one is better. Thanks for explaining things so well and clearly and without bells and whistles and sound effects that can be very annoying on some KZbinrs videos.

[@ericgomez8465]

🥃 Columbus Escape Lounge is awesome, my lounge priority is escaping from chaos of airports and the food 😁

[@b.i.g.damian626]

this might be stupid question - but what does delta one mean? is that only for first class tickets on delta?

[@randomaccount9212]

You need first class or business class

[@piper998877]

Thanks for the update. I was confused by the original article regarding PHX. I virtually stopped connecting through PHX for multiple reasons, including no PHX lounge availability. I once purchased an Escape Lounge access with an appointed time. When I arrived, they said it would be a 30-45 minute wait. Since I only had enough layover time for dinner, I didn't get to use the lounge (this was at T4).

[@BuiltNutritionFitness]

I just asked for this video on your last video. You’re one step ahead! 🤙🏽

[@AskSebby]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@charlieswimsexpress7420]

Hi Sebby, For people new to travel cards and points can you walk through your process for booking travel. Where you look and when to pull the trigger? We recently acquired the venture x but a generic tips video and process strategy video would be soooo helpful!

[@AskSebby]

Yes, will make one soon!

[@adamspoetic10]

Have anyone heard of the Capital One Landing that they’re building at the DCA airport? If so, how is it different from their lounge?

[@chrisjohnson1439]

🥃 I'm pretty excited about the Delta One Lounge, I walked past it on opening day and it looked amazing. They are supposed to be adding a dedicated security line for the check-in area as well but it isn't completed yet. I wish more lounges had a to-go area like some of the some Capitol One lounges. That might help with the extra people that are gaining access to lounges.

[@lrubio1]

🥃 As a frequent PHX traveler out of T4, not surprised by the decision to not include it as part of PP. They share the same kitchen, so the food is literally the same on Centurion/Escape. The main difference is the drink selection, where Centurion is far superior. If you're bringing guests, Escape is a better choice as can bring in two guests for free. I will often choose Escape if flying really early as the full bar doesn't open until 11am. If I want single malt scotch or mezcal cocktails, then Centurion for sure. PS, great choice on Lagavulin, Ron Swanson would be proud 😎

[@ChuckConnNYC]

I got invited to the D1 lounge opening event, it's truly beautiful

[@AskSebby]

Nice! Can't wait to check it out soon :)

[@FrankSapienza-d4n]

🥃I've used the Escape lounges at West Palm Beach (PBI) and Greenville-Spartenburg (GSP). They are both on the small side, particularly GSP, and I think opening them up to Priority Pass may create an overcrowding problem that doesn't exist now. I enjoy the lounges to get away from the crowds, relax, and get a small bite of food.

[@jonathangot]

Showers are a big plus for long haul, red eyes, and layovers. Saves time.

[@_iErik]

I do wonder if the Escape Lounges will turn away PP holders during peak hours like some other PP lounges.

[@Meatwad650]

In your update you should mention Alaska. They've moved to T1 and doubled their lounge.

[@leg1229]

🥃Delta One sounds great! When I visit a lounge I’m looking for food, snacks, coffee and WiFi/ power to get work done. I’ve gone to the Escape Lounge at GSP and I agree it was pretty nice. Limited number of customers so you felt like you were part of an exclusive club. They seem to try and be creative with their food offerings and add a regional element. I thought the food was actually tasted like a real cook made it versus a lot of the relatively bland tasting food frequently found in lounges. I wondered why at the beginning of the vlog you referenced this might not be good news from Amex Plat card holders and I agree it will be disappointing if the Escape lounges become overcrowded because of the priority pass addition.

[@Re3iRtH]

I've been to multiple escape lounges here in southeast asia and they've all accepted priority pass

[@NicksDynasty]

🥃 I have the Platinum card and go to Escape lounges weekly. I'm going to keep the card. This does make me question whether I want to get a cheaper card with priority pass The one in Columbus is annoying because if you're not flying American or United you have to security twice The airport's really small though so it's fast

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

🥃 Excellent info as always!

[@HarlemJenB]

🥃 as for the delta one lounge I’m curious to give it a go. I’m very confused about which flights are delta one so keeping up with the various fare categories is frustrating to me. Adding more lounges to priority pass YES PLEASE!

[@spydude38]

As a Priority Pass Select member I'm happy to see new offerings added.

[@gregoryogunnowo9149]

🥃 Delta One: Hoping they expand the access Lounge access: main focus is eating Escape lounge: great change, since now player 2 can get in for free

[@ericcarey7484]

🥃Lounge focus 1. Quietness and comfort 2.Good food 3. Good drinks

[@johnoverton8438]

🥃 By itself, it won't get me to close my AMEX platinum cards, but I will be looking to what AMEX's next move is with both the platinum and business platinum cards this year. I also have the CSR, so keeping all options open moving forward.

[@Tierhog774]

Sapphire Reserve needs a lounge in Atlanta!

[@melnagai]

🥃 I like to hang out in the lounge before a flight to relax and get some food. Food is so expensive at the airport and also I hate waiting in line. Thank you so much! 💳

[@larsbrauer6579]

🥃 The Phoenix T3 lounge has/had Centurion Studio branding and I believe so does/did the Oakland lounge. Any intel on whether that will stay or go away? Maybe it was because I was traveling on a busy weekend, but I’d be worried about overcrowding in the Phoenix T3 lounge, which is rather small and was very busy when I went.

[@KeyKEYadventures]

🥃 traveling primarily out of Providence PVD for the first time seeing larger crowds and there was even a waiting list this past Wednesday. Interested to see how this lounge does once it moves location upstairs right outside of PreCheck

[@marius666]

Your cardmatch feature doesn't work.

[@jamesragland03]

🥃 thank you I can get into the escape lounge this summer on Columbus with my venture x

[@cruisingforone]

Isn’t Priority Pass included with Amex Platinum?

[@AskSebby]

Yes

[@luannehorne697]

You love that whiskey!! 🥃- I have never used the restaurant option of PP. I have my PP through Ritz card. I am a NYer so the Sapphire lounges at JFK and LGA have been great. However, I am flying more in premium cabins so I have tried out other lounges in T4 as well. Flying AF in Biz to and from Italy in April so looking forward to checking out this Delta one Lounge. I guess I have access with these flights! and it'll be nice to stop in after getting off instead of standing around at the luggage carouse at JFKl!!

[@joanreilly6419]

Love that escape lounges are joining priority pass. MSP is going to be a frequent destination the next four years

[@youngalwyn1124]

🥃 Delta One lounges are a good idea and I might be eligible to enter when I travel next year. Escape lounges sound nice but they’re not located in any airports that I’m likely to visit soon.

[@martinasandoval5326]

Why add a D1 lounge in BOS but forget about ATL and DTW? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@chrisbrown8748]

I’ll be leaving work today and driving down to Washington DC from Philly to hop on a flight to São Paulo, Brazil and I’ll be getting my eat and drink on at the Capital One Lounge at IAD and then in São Paulo I’ll hit up the Plaza Premium lounge before boarding my flight to Rio de Janeiro.

[@kristineddie]

I go to the lounges to relax, eat and maybe get some work done.

[@Fridge56Vet]

🥃 Delta One lounge looks amazing. Will be interesting to see what LA, Boston, & Seattle ones are like. Drinking, eating, relaxing, & working in that order. Bummed re: Escape Lounges as a Delta/AmEx guy, though Columbus' is in a different terminal than the Delta gates, and they aren't connected airside, so I've never used. Maybe once new terminal built in 5-10 years w/everything connected I'll have something to say.

[@MrHawaiiboy510]

Can you get in an escape lounge with a Venture X card?

[@AskSebby]

Yes, with the Priority Pass card.

[@airbornebackpacker6840]

🥃 This was a great post!

[@petepratti251]

🥃Lots of changes need to be made to lounges and lounge access. Met the spend requirement for free guests and yet never can get into the Miami lounge in a reasonable time. Time for an upper middle tier card for 1500-2k that solves this

[@smokey251]

🥃 I had the Amex Delta Platinum at one time I downgraded to the blue just to keep my miles. PDX is not a Delta hub so we would never get a D1 lounge. Amex escape lounge is coming soon.

[@abinthannickal3044]

Sebby can you do a video about the choice benefits for delta this year. I think they changed a lot. Just wanna see what makes the most sense

[@AskSebby]

Might do it on the business channel.

[@MyNameJim]

None of this matters to me because Chicago airports don’t have SHIT for lounges. And we have two airports. Pathetic 😂

[@IanMaschal]

Until a brand decides to break with the norm of using 3rd party contractors like HMS and Aramark then there will be no fine dinning in any lounges. Even if the menu is by a local chef, it’s still a bunch of hacks back there.

[@Dre_jr]

Love that for SMF 🎉

[@Pavaragon]

let’s go escape lounges , perfect for bradley .

[@davidchan1733]

The Escape Lounges annoucement could be amazing for PDX flyers.... its been such a wasteland after the PP resturant benefit was removed. Since PDX has announced an Escape Lounge opening later in 2024.

[@madisonsinclair5123]

🥃 now here's the dark side of airport lounge access: these days I rarely fly first class where I am not sitting next to a drunk. I mean, 7:30 in the morning people are going to these lounges and imbibing at the open bar. Very annoying, very inconsiderate. On my last business class trip I was seated next to a red-faced guy who was mumbling to himself and shadow boxing. I got up to alert the stewardess to keep an eye on this one, and when I got back to my seat I realized this guy had spilled his drink in my seat. A full flight, there were no other seats on the plane. I was flying on business, and only brought the one pair of trousers. This is what airport lounge access means to me. They are usually crowded, and unless you're into drinking, not really worth it. I'd rather just find an empty gate somewhere where I can be quiet and alone. And dry. I had downgraded my Amex Platinum during the pandemic. I just upgraded it back to Platinum again, and already regret it. And utter waste.

[@williams242ful]

All these loops….this is how i see amex perks in the future

[@rafaelzavala4771]

I am deaf, the subtitles write out that you are saying "party pass" are you mispronouncing the word Priority or is there something called party pass I haven't heard of?

[@sdvanni94]

🥃 Love a whiskey smash. Curious do you think Chase will try to purchase “The Club” lounges to stay competitive with AMEX after their purchase of Tock?

[@AskSebby]

I think they're focused on co-branding and not purchasing.

[@nadjaswift8938]

I seriously love your videos, content, and insights. It is the reason I started going down the CC rabbit holes and have 17 cc now. HOWEVER, I must say in a constructive criticism and positive way that your videos are extremely hard to listen to. Your natural tone of voice is difficult to hear on youtube. It is an easy fix on your end to adjust the recording tone to make it more "normal". Not sure I am the first to mention this, but doubt it.
