Holiday airport travel tip

Just a friendly reminder if you’re traveling, American Express (AMEX) travel lounges are a game-changer. If you’re active duty, your annual fee is WAIVED. That’s a $695 saving. You don’t even have to use the card. You just need an account and can access an AMEX lounge 3 hours prior to departure. And on layovers. What’s included: lounge access, free food (it’s really good too), free drinks (yes, beer, wine, champagne - some liquor no), couches, WiFi, private rooms, coffee, etc. I know we worry about financial literacy in the Navy, but this seriously should be talked about more considering our travel tempo sometimes.

Obviously if you plan to use the card, make smart financial decisions. Safe travels all!
