Here are 4 smart shortcuts that feel VIP - without the ridiculous price tags 👇

✅ Fast track security
Some airports sell fast track access for around $20–30. Buy it in advance, skip the longest lines, and start your trip relaxed instead of stressed. It’s one of the cheapest ways to feel like a VIP.

✅ Priority Pass lounges
Instead of wasting $30 on bad airport food and fighting for a chair at the gate, we use lounge access to eat, drink, and relax for free. After just a couple of visits, it pays for itself. I’ve had full meals, showers, and quiet work time in lounges while everyone else stood shoulder to shoulder at the boarding gate.

✅ Global Entry or TSA PreCheck (U.S. travelers)
These aren’t flashy, but they’re the real deal. TSA PreCheck lets you breeze through security )without stripping or unpacking). Global Entry speeds up immigration when you’re flying back into the U.S. - I’ve gone from plane to taxi in under 10 minutes while everyone else stood in an hour-long line. It costs $120 for 5 years, and many travel credit cards will cover the fee completely.

✅ Airline status perks
The best “VIP” service is the one you don’t pay for at the airport. Priority boarding, free bags, lounge access, better seats - all included if you stick with one airline (or alliance) enough to earn status. We once got into a partner lounge in Istanbul thanks to alliance status - a quiet meal and showers instead of 6 hours sitting at the gate.

💡 If you only fly once a year, chasing status isn’t worth it. But if you’re flying a couple of times a year, it’s worth looking into to see if it fits how you travel. For some people it pays off, for others it doesn’t - the key is knowing where you fall.
