Travel blogging is not an easy task<\/a> and every travel blogger’s worst nightmare is encountering the dreaded lounge dragon. What is a lounge dragon you might ask? It’s not the mythical creature who breathes fire, but a physical ordinary person who works at a hotel lounge<\/a> or airport lounge<\/a> who goes by the book and enforces \u2018made up\u2019 rules of no picture taking.<\/p>\n

It’s almost two years since I’ve been travel blogging and it’s really tough taking pictures of every aspect of the hotel lounge<\/a> evening appetizers and breakfast. In addition, taking pictures inside an airline lounge with the entire food offering are also tough because they might think you’re a spy from another airline. A hotel club lounge dragon pretty much doesn’t want you to take pictures of anything because you might share this information with competitors and hurt their brand. An airport lounge<\/a> agent is the worst offender because they can report you to the authorities for taking pictures of people and falsely accuse you of spying, etc.<\/p>\n

There are other variations of lounge dragons such as the flight attendant telling you “No pictures please”. One reason a flight attendant might tell you to put away your camera is because they fear you might be taking pictures of an airplane for terrorist activities.<\/p>\n

Lounge dragons are something I dread every time I travel, but there are some ways of overcoming a lounge dragon.<\/p>\n

Have you ever encountered a mean lounge dragon?<\/em><\/p>\n
