From its earliest incarnation as a private club, the airport lounge is now an essential part of travel. You can take a preflight dip in the pool at the #PuntaCana International Airport in the #DominicanRepublic, get a one-hour complimentary massage at @thaiairways’ first-class lounge in #Bangkok, or hop on a Peloton bike to work off the baked cod you just consumed at @virginatlantic's London Heathrow Clubhouse. @etihad in Abu Dhabi now has a @sixsensesspas for arriving passengers, complete with showers and a restaurant. And it’s no longer only airlines that operate lounges: Credit card retailers are increasingly active in the area. Read about the latest lounge innovations in Business Traveler magazine this month, and at the link in bio. 📸: @thiagorepdom #businesstravel #businesstraveler #businesstraveller #luxurytravel #airportlounge #airportdesign #poolview #vip #firstclass #travelperk #traveltips #placestovisit
