First-Class Flight Lounge Hack

A Chinese businessman discovered a creative way to dine for free at Xi’an Airport’s VIP lounge throughout 2014. He booked a fully refundable first-class ticket that allowed unlimited rebooking, then feasted on complimentary meals in the exclusive lounge. After each meal, he simply rescheduled his flight to the next day. This continued for almost a year until the airline finally noticed his ticket had been rebooked 300 times without a single flight taken.
