I was flying out of Ontario Airport recently and stopped by the Aspire Lounge with my Priority Pass. While enjoying a quiet meal, I saw a group of TSA agents walk in uniforms and all and help themselves to the buffet like it was their regular lunch spot. Turns out, they’ve been using Priority Pass daily without flying, since no one checks boarding passes at this lounge.
I’ve heard of similar tricks with refundable tickets or maxing out guest access, but this was wild to see firsthand. I get wanting a free meal, but it does feel like it's being abused. Have you seen anything like this at other airports? Do you think lounges should be stricter, or is this just a clever perk-hack?
