A man in China purchased a first-class plane ticket - and used it to eat a year's worth of free meals at the VIP lounge at Xi'an International Airport.
The frequent diner purchased a first-class, fully refundable ticket aboard Eastern China Airline.
He used the ticket to gain access to the airport's VIP lounge, where high-rolling travelers dine for free....
The man re-booked his first-class ticket over and over again and kept the gravy train rolling.
Eastern China Airlines officials only recently figured out the man's scheme after noticing his single ticket being re-booked 300 times over one year....

He’s not THAT greedy. Only used it 300 times in a year.
What about the other 65 days?

You’d think airport parking rates would have discouraged this scheme.

If the Worker’s Paradise had a food stamp program, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, earned income tax credits and Social Security this guy wouldn’t have to work so hard to feed himself.

I have a chinese neighbor who would go to the food bank and take from the poor. I knew her husband well and he makes a nice living as a union AP mechanic for....not saying.
He makes 80k-90k before bonus's and other bens and a paid off mortgage so....
I reported her, and told her about it too.
They no longer talk to me, that was expected.
Chinese people will not ‘lose face’ by admitting being wrong, never.

Well it’s been years, but the clubs at the terminal only need to see a membership card.
For terminal access, any old airline reservation gets you in, so he could spread it around. Southwest, for example would never care, if it is via the website.
But airport transportation in not cheap or free.
