How My First Time Sneaking Into An Airport Lounge Opened The Door To A Lifetime Of VIP Travel

While I write about lounges a lot, I didn't always have access. In fact the first time I ever entered one as an adult, I snuck in. It was a United Airlines lounge back 24 years ago, and it's part of my early travel educating me about what airport lounges were all about and why I wanted to use them. It's also the story of my first international premium cabin award redemption, which I used to visit my family in Australia, so my 'sneaking in' holds extra significance to me.
