It seems like everything about travel has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And nowhere is that more clear than in airport lounges.

These lounges were once packed full of business travelers and frequent flyers. Today, they're eerily empty.

From airport lounges that serve Delta, American, and United corporate travelers to independent lounges from American Express and Priority Pass, many lounges across the country have closed thanks to coronavirus. The timeline for when these lounges may re-open remains uncertain.

If the lounge doors are open, what you can get inside has changed, too. Hot food is gone. Buffets? No way. Instead, it's almost all prepackaged snacks, sandwiches, and salads. Coffee machines were working as normal, thankfully. And even some bar service was available for a free glass of beer, wine, or champagne.
