I visited the Chase Sapphire Lounge at LaGuardia Airport, which offers meals, drinks, and a spa. The lounge is free for $550-per-year Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders. But travelers without the card can enter for free once a year with a Priority Pass membership. AdvertisementI recently went to LaGuardia Airport's Terminal B and stepped into a 21,850-square-foot space that felt like a luxury hotel lobby. It was the new Chase Sapphire Lounge , which opened in NYC's LGA and John F. Kennedy International Airports in January.

☆ Staffing shortages, outdated facilities threaten US air safety -- report

The panel, named by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), released a 52-page report citing problems that included shortages of air traffic controllers, technology issues, outdated systems and dramatic funding needs. It cited aging FAA air traffic control facilities with leaking roofs, broken heating and air conditioning systems and old surveillance radar systems that must soon be replaced at a cost of billions of dollars. A government watchdog report said in June critical air traffic facilities face significant staffing challenges, posing risks to air traffic operations. The FAA said in March it was taking steps to improve air traffic control operations, which are short-staffed. "There is no question that we are seeing too many close calls," the head of the FAA's air traffic organization told employees.
