If you don't want to ask, here is a primer on how lounges work followed by other ways you can get in. Studies have shown that people are more likely to help you out (like letting you cut in line) if you give a reason.

To up your chances, make sure you look professional and you give a reason for needing it. If you want to access and don't want to pay (or can't), ask someone politely if they'd be willing to add you as their guest. While I don't recommend it, because it involves standing around the lounge's entrance, but it's the only truly “free” way to get in. They can also bring in a guest or two for free. When someone flies first class, they get access to the lounge.

There is only one “free” way to get in – ask someone flying first class to take you in as their guest. I don't travel enough, nor do I spend enough, but what if I want to enjoy the good life too? See those fancy-looking plaques that say “Admirals Club” or the “Concorde Room” as you walk through the airport concourse? That's where my friends are. You sip champagne, eat bonbons, and live The Good Life. You don't sit with the rest of the commoners in the waiting area. One of the perks of those top tiers is waiting in luxury. They're Executive Club Gold on British Airways or Diamond Medallion on Delta or AAdvantage Executive Platinum – you know, the top of the top in status. One of the perks is travel to far-flung corners of the globe and they do so in the comfort of business class. I have a few close friends who do a lot of international travel for work and business.
