mexico city international airport priority pass

After we'd argued to get to sit in a chair, I saw a lady who had reserved a seat arrive. If this was fine dining, or even a taco stand, I can understand reservations, but to simply sit and have a coffee (which they oddly insisted on serving in wine glasses) all it does is create a resentful environment.

As with most things in Mexico, staff will abdicate responsibility to somebody else, and so the only way you can actually get a seat here is to reserve one and then turn up if you feel like it. They were actively turning away customers on the off-chance that somebody might or might not turn up sometime in the future. I was absolutely astonished by this nonsense policy. The majority of the seats were empty, but 'reserved' for people arriving later. It seems they offer a reservation policy.

When we got inside, expecting it to be absolutely packed, it turned out there were lots of empty seats. Only when her colleague inside insisted that it was fine did she begrudgingly say 'bienvenidos' and allow us inside. I didn't realise it was the old card, and it seems neither did anyone at London, New York or Merida on our trips earlier this month! Anyway, even after logging into the website and showing her the digital card, she still wasn't convinced. I am a current member, just didn't have my current card.

When I showed my priority pass card she noticed it was my old card (expired in May 2017). After having walked to gate 31 and back again, we were told they were now full! after a bit of discussion, the lady 'guarding' the entrance (for that was clearly what she felt she was doing) went to check again. There was, at gate 31, but that's another story. Never having been to this lounge before, I assumed it was really busy, so we asked if there was another. The two men on the door said that they only had room 'at the bar'.
