Abstract: Systems and method for managing airport lounges is described. In one non-limiting example, a system is configured to track a location of various client devices within a particular airport lounge based on detecting a wireless connection between the client devices and a wireless network for a predefined area of the particular airport lounge. The system estimates a stay length for each of the client devices within the particular airport lounge and determines an available capacity for the airport lounges. An access request is received from an airport lounge application executed on a client device. A subset of the plurality of airport lounges are determined to be accessible for a user of the client device. The subset of the plurality of airport lounges is communicated to the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods allow flyers to determine which airport lounges they may access. A flyer specifies an airport and access rules for lounges at the airport are applied to user data of the flyer to identify accessible lounges. A listing of the identified lounges is then displayed to the flyer. Systems and methods further allow management of airport lounge inventory. Inventory can be managed to increase occupancy, as well as to evenly distribute flyers within and across airport lounges.
