Ever since the end of the Jet Set era, airline travel has been more of a task than an event to be treasured. It’s something to be endured, what with the crowds, close quarters and delays so frequent you can rely on them. The surest way to get that magic back is with a trip to one of the ultra-luxe lounges that pepper the planet’s best airports. With food from world-class chefs, smartly selected wine lists and beauty treatments on par with spas in the chicest cities, it’s easy to lose yourself amongst the splendors—even wishing for a later departure time or two along the way.
