点评:The 3 hour before policy is the dumbest policy I ever heard of my life. Missed my flight by 5 minutes after waiting in the security line for 1.5 hours because of the TSA fiasco. Hand up that’s on me because I didn’t know the new normal was to arrive 3 hours early for domestic flights.
Delta was understanding at least and rebooked me on another flight that was 7 hours later (shoutout delta!). I literally never use airport lounges since there is rarely a use for them but figured this might be a good opportunity since I’m paying CapitalOne $400 a year anyways. I get there and they won’t let me in because it’s not within 3 hours before the flight. I’m confused because literally this may have been one of the only times when I actually need a lounge. Like dude who is showing up to flights 5 hours early so they can spend 3 hours in an airport lounge?? I literally offer to pay for the extra hours (even though I’m already paying $400 a year for the card) because I just want a place to do work (it’s a business day) and they still refuse. This has been such an infuriating experience that I’m canceling my CapitalOne venture card. Wild that the company’s strategy is to spend all the money to build out lounges just to piss off customers when they show up so that they cancel their card memberships
翻译:提前三小时到达机场的规定是我这辈子听过最愚蠢的规定。因为TSA(美国运输安全管理局)的混乱,我在安检排了一个半小时的队,结果只差五分钟就错过了航班。承认是我的错,因为我不知道现在国内航班都要提前三小时到达机场。
不过达美航空至少还算通情达理,帮我改签了七个小时后的航班(达美航空真棒!)。我平时几乎不用机场贵宾室,因为很少用到,但这次我想着反正每年都要交400美元的Capital One会员费,或许是个好机会。结果到了贵宾室,他们却不让我进去,因为距离航班起飞时间超过三小时了。我真是搞不懂,这可能是我唯一一次真正需要贵宾室的时候了。谁会提前五个小时到机场,就为了在贵宾室待三个小时啊?我主动提出支付额外时间的费用(尽管我每年已经为这张卡支付 400 美元),因为我只是想找个地方工作(今天是工作日),但他们仍然拒绝。这件事实在太令人恼火了,我决定取消我的 CapitalOne Venture 卡。这家公司的策略竟然是花那么多钱建休息室,结果却在顾客光顾时惹恼他们,让他们取消会员资格,真是令人匪夷所思。
