Lounge Frog

Turns airport and airline codes on any page into links to Lounge Frog Lounge Frog turns the airport and airline codes you already read every day into links to the lounges behind them. Frequent flyers live in a world of three-letter codes. Trip reports, forum threads, itinerary emails, seat maps, award-search results, mileage-run spreadsheets, airline press releases, and route-announcement blogs are all written in the same shorthand. You know exactly what those codes mean. What you usually don't know, without opening another tab and searching, is which lounges you can actually get into at each of those airports with the cards, statuses, and memberships you hold. Lounge Frog closes that gap. Install it, and every airport code on every page you read quietly becomes a link to that airport's page on loungefrog.com. Every airline code becomes a link to that airline's page, so you can jump from a flight number to the lounges that carrier gives you access to. The text on the page doesn't change. The layout doesn't change. The codes simply gain a subtle green underline and a light highlight, and when you hover, the link fills in so you know it's there. Click, and the lounge guide opens in a new tab. Ignore it, and the page reads exactly as it always did. WHAT IT DOES Links airport codes everywhere you read. Every IATA airport code, more than 6,000 of them, becomes a link to that airport's page on loungefrog.com. Where Lounge Frog has a lounge guide, that page lists every lounge in the terminal, which programs, cards, alliances and fare classes get you in, current hours, reviews and photos, and whether you can move airside between terminals to reach a better lounge. Links airline codes too. Two-letter airline codes become links to that airline's page on loungefrog.com, where you can see which lounges that airline's premium cabins and elite tiers unlock. The extension also recognizes a code followed by a flight number, and links just the airline portion so the flight number stays plain text. Works on any website. Flight-review blogs, frequent-flyer forums, airline sites, booking confirmations in webmail, Google Docs and Sheets you have open, Reddit, news articles about route launches, aviation enthusiast communities, your company's travel portal. Anywhere text appears in the browser, the codes in it become links. Pages that load content dynamically, such as infinite-scroll feeds, chat apps and single-page apps, are handled too: new text is scanned as it arrives, in the browser's idle time, so scrolling and typing stay smooth. Understands route shorthand. Codes connected by hyphens, slashes and commas are all recognized. Only the code itself becomes the link, never the punctuation around it. Only links real codes, and knows which ones are also words. This is the part that makes the extension pleasant to leave running all day. It doesn't guess. Only genuine IATA airport codes are linked, from the full reference list bundled inside the extension; made-up codes stay plain text. Some real codes also happen to be everyday words. Those only link when the page uses them the way an airport code is used, in parentheses after a place name or joined to another code in a route. A headline that says THE BIG NEWS stays exactly as written. Handles the ambiguous ones carefully. Some airline codes double as everyday words. Those only link when they appear directly before a flight number, where the meaning is unambiguous. A sentence that says "9 AM" or "sign up" stays exactly as written. Aircraft type names are respected as well: "A320" is never mistaken for an airline code with a flight number attached. Leaves the right things alone. Existing links are never re-linked, so a page's own navigation and cross-references keep working. Text inside code blocks, form fields, text areas, search boxes, buttons, dropdowns and any editable area is left untouched, so the extension never interferes with something you're typing. Scripts, styles and hidden elements are skipped entirely. Turns off with one switch. Open the toolbar popup and flip the switch. Every link on every open tab reverts to plain text immediately, and new pages load without linking until you switch it back on. No reload needed either way. THE POPUP: YOUR LOUNGE ACCESS AT A GLANCE Click the Lounge Frog icon in the toolbar and you get a compact card with what matters when you're mid-trip: your name, your home airport, the programs and cards on your Lounge Frog profile, and a summary of the lounge access those give you. It's the same information you'd see on your loungefrog.com profile, brought to the corner of whatever page you're reading. If you aren't signed in, the popup says so and offers a link to sign in on loungefrog.com. If the Lounge Frog API can't be reached, it tells you plainly and offers a retry rather than showing stale or invented data. ONE SIGN-IN, SHARED WITH THE SITE You never enter a password into the extension. Sign in on loungefrog.com the way you normally would, and the extension picks up that session automatically. Sign out from the website, and the extension signs out too. Sign out from the popup, and the website session ends as well. There's exactly one place your credentials live, and it's the site itself. Under the hood, a small script that runs only on loungefrog.com mirrors the site's session token into the extension's private storage, and mirrors changes back the other way. If the token is ever rejected by the API because it expired or was revoked, it's cleared on both sides so you're never stuck in a half-signed-in state. ALWAYS CURRENT The full IATA airport list ships inside the extension, so every airport links from the first page load with no network request at all. Lounge Frog adds lounge guides and airlines as it covers more of the world, and the extension fetches that list from the Lounge Frog API when it's installed and refreshes it once a day in the background, so a newly covered airport or airline start…
