Deep dives
Maximizing Lounge Etiquette
Bringing personal containers like Ziploc bags into airline lounges is generally frowned upon, as it can raise concerns about food safety and cleanliness. Some lounges, such as the Capital One Lounge, may allow for to-go items like candy or lollipops, but patrons should understand that many lounges prefer food consumption to happen on-site. A user inquired about this practice after observing someone doing it, leading to a lively discussion and consensus discouraging such behavior. This highlights the need for travelers to respect lounge rules and consider the implications of their actions in such environments.
