I generally travel on a budget. 90% of the time, I would fly budget airlines. But last year, I flew with @etihad *twice* to redeem the credits that I had with them due to canceled flights during Covid. And because of that, they rewarded me with some frequent-flyer benefits. So, for the first time in my life, I experienced being in an airport lounge 😄
