American Express

• Both the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Platinum Card® from American Express offer airport lounge access among their many benefits and rewards.
• However, I find the Platinum card's lounge access more useful — that's because it includes the same lounges as the Sapphire Reserve, plus dozens more within the US.
• Priority Pass — the lounge network that both cards offer a membership to — has more than 1,200 locations around the world, although I find the offerings abroad more useful.

As someone who flies relatively often, whether for work, to see family, or for leisure, having access to airport lounges is something I find increasingly necessary. While I enjoy flying itself, airports can be pretty unpleasant. Thankfully, airport lounges — even when they're crowded — offer an escape from the worst of it.
