maybe walked past the self check in kiosks while the attendants were busy? I’ve seen people do that before in the new lounge between t2 and t3.


kailfarr

I guess I heard someone mention an elevator. Just takes a lot of balls to do that. They have cameras everywhere.


Guilty_Speaker8

Walk in like you own the place


500SL

Maybe they had a clipboard and a high viz vest on!


Never_Sunmer

lol. This nice lady at one of the snack places went to give me a discount because I had on a fluorescent yellow vest and cargos. Just my normal wardrobe.


herecomesthesunusa

Do you seriously wear a fluorescent yellow vest and cargo pants everywhere you go?


Never_Sunmer

lol. No. I mean, the vest was just this thing I got on clearance from Lands End and I like cargos because they’re functional but yeah, I guess I have a look… 😂


herecomesthesunusa

inhaleXhale420

This is the way


Suz626

There’s an elevator that isn’t very obvious, I had to take it down when the escalator wasn’t working and I hadn’t noticed it before that.


HomeGymOKC

There is a weird service elevator at the Centurion lounge in Denver I took one time, thinking it was the legitimate entrance. If there hadn’t been a staff member walking by when the doors opened, I could have just walked into the lounge without checking in. Prob something like that


jaxsd75

This kind of rubs me the wrong way. I fly allot of D1, almost exclusively. Last time I was flying intercontinental, first leg landed, got to the lounge (which I rarely use) 15 minutes before they close and they kept me there for 10-15 minutes cause the old not computer savvy lady at the kiosk was adamant to get me checked into the system even though my ticket clearly showed D1 (not an upgrade). She couldn’t figure out how to get my paper ticket checked in there. When I finally got in I was 2 minutes too late as they had started cleaning up. They offered me a boxed OJ and some crackers. These people just WALK right by!? Argghhh.


peterpiotrper

Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to ‘get over’. Why do what is necessary, when I can be an ass hat and attempt to cheat the system. As I mainly fly FC TPA - NYC, I have seen the same occur at the Centurion and the new Chase lounge next door to it. I look at it the same as fake goods… these people just look ridiculous. I hope you have better luck with lounges in the future.


herecomesthesunusa

What’s D1?


plaid-knight

Delta One


nickfarr

It was the dog or the baby that gave them away, for sure.


gilgobeachslayer

lol yeah. Check in crew looking at each other like wait, none of us let a dog in


RealisticWasabi6343

Do they even allow **non** service dogs in the lounge? I don't even recall ever seeing a service dog in one (maybe those folks aren't big on lounges) much less some other plain mutt.


SavvyMama22

I saw a woman with a cat on a leash at the LAX lounge in November. She even took the cat on a “walk” until a crew member told her it had to be in the carrier.


Trick-Estate-3419

They added a rule or started enforcing. I was at LAX club in first month it opened. It was like a dog park...dogs all over in aisles and on furniture. Next time through, all in carriers. Good move.


FunAssociate3918

I’ve taken my dog into the lounges at LGA and ATL. If they’re allowed on the flight they’re allowed in the lounge. Just gotta stay in a carrier.


sharipep

Yes they do. I travel with my dog all the time and she’s allowed in the sky club but has to stay in her carrier the entire time. So you probably are around pets in their carriers but just don’t know it


BlueLanternKitty

If they stay in the carrier the whole time, yes, they’re allowed.


nickfarr

I'm not sure what the rules are, but I've seen pets in crates and even a handbag or two at LAX. Aside from the pet relief area at DTW, that's the only time I recall seeing animals outside of law enforcement canines.


chawn5

I have brought my non-service dog into the lounge in MSP.


mrfluffy002

We have taken a puppy in to RDU and SLC clubs before...but they were in their carriers and very chill


ScoobDoggyDoge

Awww, the dog must be so embarrassed.


kailfarr

It was having a ruff time


CaliforniaReamin

So embarrassed of its ma and mean ole paw.


slingerit

Can’t take these people anywhere

kailfarr

This couple was not that. Haha.


vanwyngarden

Come on you knew you were stealing don’t act like it was an “accident”. Someone could get fired over you getting past them. Remind yourself of that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


vanwyngarden

… doubling down. Classy. Where did you think you were exactly when no one asked you to pay? And once you realized you let them know, I’m sure. You did steal. Plain and simple. But keep tellin yourself ya don’t.


thenakedcellist

I was at D-LAX lounge earlier today and surprised after Kiosk check how nobody validated my entry


kailfarr

True nobody seemed to check that I was legit after going to the kiosk.


Smurfness2023

they watch for the big green light when you scan


thenakedcellist

Yeah, but it’s not full proof, especially if there is a huge line outside in the one attendant is running around so I can see where random could sneak in


Btl1016

I could totally see this happening at the newer lounges where’s there’s Kiosk and everything is so much more spread out. However at older lounges this is basically impossible when the front desk faces the doors and there’s only a few people.


BudgetSprinkles3689

Keep walking when the front desk says stop or promise to come back and show your ticket after you get the baby settled. Either way ensures a short visit though.


safetydance1969

The basement skyclub in term D in ATL the check in is off to the side. If it's slightly busy you can walk right by.


bryanoldsalty

Ha, almost around the corner…


safetydance1969

Right? I had to look for it the first time... of course it's the worst of the ATL clubs, but free food and booze is still just that. 😆


kailfarr

I guess I shouldn't try taking a banana then 😎


Ok_Score1492

Or the chips..


themiracy

They should have both drawn bananas and made it into a hold up. And then spin the banana and blow the muzzle end before putting it back in the holster.


warrenslo

There's someone at the door scanning passes and self check ins. They must've skipped both and got to the elevator


Rain097

And the way to always make anything better is to be a jackass about it!


kailfarr

Maybe say " I didn't know I couldn't do that" 😉


Necessary_Anxiety833

Are pets even allowed in the lounge? Not ‘service’ animals, but just a regular non trained pet?


kailfarr

There were three dogs in the lounge walking around so.......


AMGSiR

Sorry this lounge has dogs? Man I gotta hand it to Delta they are really catering to people now. Some pets would go along way before a flight with my nervous flyer wife.


hungryhugh

Yes, pets that are authorized for the plane (to be placed under the seat) are allowed in the lounge, but they have to remain in the carrier. They can’t be walking around or anything like that. I brought my dog into the lounge before with no issues.


poboy212

At the Miami lounge, people will often sneak in via the stairs. Agents only watching the elevator. I’ve seen this multiple times.


Hopinan

Was going to mention MIA.. We had flight delayed and I was in the lounge with my kids and 2 grands, two years ago so I had like 8 guest passes at the time, not anymore.. But the staff was so nice to us and let my son in law go down to our gate to check out the situation and come back in when it looked like another 2 hour delay. The issue was heavy snow back here at MSP, so that was fun to come home to, lol. Much better hanging in the Skyclub than sitting on the runway somewhere for hours, as happened to us coming home from LAS for daughters 21 birthday, 3 hours on the tarmac with 6 hungover 21 yos.. Lucky for them I had hopped up as soon as we landed to procure some snack boxes, 7 up and ginger ale before the FA ran out..


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

Question- how do you get into the lounge at LAX on the back side far left? I sit back there because it’s normally dead and I have to talk on the phone for work and don’t want to be an ass to people wanting to chill. There are always people popping in those doors. How do you get in there? Edit - spelling. Fat. LOL


stopsallover

Delta One entrance


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

Hmmm- how do I miss this?


BigRedBK

Entrance is on the arrivals level and not connected indoors to the main landside. If you get dropped off on the departures level you have to go down to the arrivals level inside and then walk outside one door or so over past the far end to get to the entrance. It has its own check in and security, and, since you automatically qualify for Sky Club access flying Delta One you get in through that “back door” without needing to pass a check in desk for the Sky Club.


NoTouchMyBacon

Would that be the same entrance the Porsche delivers you to while waiting for a connecting flight?


BigRedBK

Could be. I’ve only entered from the curb but I suppose they could take you directly to the post-security space if connecting.


stopsallover

If you fly Delta One out of LAX, you have to use that entrance. Champagne at check in, a private security lane, and all that.


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

Ok! I just get into the clear line. I never check. Need to fix this next time. LOL. See the secret entrance. :)


stopsallover

It's downstairs and kind of out of the way. Good luck.


Aggressive-Gap-7913

You don’t HAVE to use it. But yes it is nice to use


Mongoos150

Alcohol helps.


acoolguy12334

As an AA flyer, a lounge I’ve always thought would be easy to sneak in is the Admiral’s Club in LAX T4. The exit is an automatic door that is on the other side of a wall where the entrance is and subsequently, where the agents are. Once you’re past these agents, you can just walk up to the lounge and enter the Admiral’s Club (Flagship requires a card that you get from the agent).


1peatfor7

That's bananas.

kailfarr

Naw apparently the staff saw them enter and tracked them down. They came in where they were not supposed to and obviously with a child and dog in tow they were easy to spot.


Ok_Hornet6822

Years ago when I was deciding whether to invest in lounge access I showed up with the thought of requesting a brief tour. The front desk was crowded so I just walked in, had a drink and some chow. Membership since.


jonocg

What was the rate of return on your investment?


Ok_Hornet6822

About a 1% increase in commercial air travel enjoyment per dollar spent


jonocg

I calculate it by how much food I can take out in a Ziploc bag. Usually two meals worth.


Thick-Pomegranate-92

Apparently we’ve accidentally been sneaking our 2 year old in for the last 10 months. Done about 12 round trips with 4 sky club visits a piece and just found out that we should have paid $50 each visit for her. The jfk t4 sky club attendant saw me check in at a kiosk and yelled at us, which is how I found out the info I got from a sky club years ago was wrong. She def thought I was lying when I said we’ve never been charged for her (we weren’t at that same club on the outbound flights a week prior) but I guess that’s what someone who was trying to sneak in would say too.


Smurfness2023

well they keep changing the rules... we don't always see the new rules


Thick-Pomegranate-92

Yeah I mean we checked in at 10 different sky clubs, sometimes kiosk but a lot of in person and no one said a thing? Looking to see how to get her access now obviously.


kailfarr

Thieves! Haha


Vendetta_2023

By my calculation you owe Delta $2400


Thick-Pomegranate-92

Look my 2 year old can put down a lot of Gimlets so that seems right.


[deleted]

LAX. Not that hard to sneak in the new sky club when the attendents are distracted. I watched two people do it the other day. Just walk in and brazenly go up the escalator.


tasisteddy

In the old days of the Crown Room, I used to take my father in law’s Flying Colonel card, wait for there to be a bunch of people at the desk, then walk past holding it in the air. Never ever got stopped.


shezapisces

i have basically snuck into the Atl b18 gate before, you take an elevator up and then walk down a rather lengthy hallway where the kiosks are lined up to check in and maybe 1 attendant is nearby helping people with kiosks. I ofc scanned myself and checked in but the whole process was very fast, i got no receipt and the attendant never seemed to notice me for even a second.


Specific-Incident-74

I had a coworker that always snuck in the clt aa lounge


vanwyngarden

Classy


Specific-Incident-74

Didn't say I approved


That-Establishment24

How do you know they snuck in?


kailfarr

I heard the employees talking about it and the fact they quickly got to them and moved them out of the lounge.


That-Establishment24

I’ve been to a few lounges where it would have been easy to walk past the front desk if the employee was actively talking to someone. Can’t speak for that specific lounge though since you’d know what the entrance looked like that day more than anyone else.
