San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2015 -- LoungeBuddy, the only single resource for travelers to discover, book and access airport lounges around the world, and Information Engineering Group, Inc. (IEG), developers of technology solutions for airline and airport customer tracking loyalty systems, today announce their partnership allowing all travelers the ability to instantly book access to Le Salon by Sheltair in Paris-Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG) and the CrossRacer Lounge Ezeiza in Buenos Aires-Ezeiza Airport (EZE) directly from the LoungeBuddy mobile App using Apple Pay or any major credit card.
“IEG provides seamless customer service solutions for their clients, and we’re very excited to team up to offer instant mobile lounge bookings through their lounge management system. This partnership allows all travelers the opportunity to experience the excellent facilities provided by IEG’s lounge partners,” said LoungeBuddy founder and CEO, Tyler Dikman.
