loungekey or priority pass: which one actually works better?

Last week, I was standing in front of a crowded airport lounge in Chicago, juggling my phone and trying to figure out if I should use my LoungeKey or Priority Pass. Both apps are installed, both claim to get me in, but honestly, I never know which one is actually going to work. In the US, I’ve had some lounges tell me they only take Priority Pass, while others look at me like I’m speaking another language when I show them LoungeKey. And when I was in Paris last year, I ended up sitting outside the lounge with a sad airport sandwich because neither app seemed to get me access. Has anyone else had this problem? It feels like these programs promise the world, but when you actually need them, it’s a toss-up. I’m starting to wonder if it’s even worth keeping both. The worst part is when you see other people waltzing in while you’re stuck arguing with the front desk. It’s embarrassing! #travelstruggles #airportlounges #prioritypass #Travel

finding a decent lounge with showers at cdg airport

I’ve got a 6.5-hour layover at Charles de Gaulle, and I’m already dreading it. I’ll be landing at Terminal 2E and then heading out from 2G, which, if you’ve ever been to CDG, you know isn’t exactly a quick stroll. I started looking into pay-for-access lounges because I’d love to grab a shower and maybe a bite to eat, but wow—trying to figure out which lounges actually let you in (and have showers that aren’t always booked) is like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. Some reviews say the showers are great, others say they’re tiny or always out of hot water. Plus, the prices seem all over the place. I don’t want to pay a fortune just to stand in line for a lukewarm shower. Has anyone actually managed to find a decent lounge with a reliable shower at CDG, especially between 2E and 2G? I’m hoping I’m not the only one who’s ended up wandering around this airport feeling lost and a little grumpy. #cdgairport #layoverlife #airportlounges #Travel
