And this why I sit up front, no lines, all my flight changes are done at the lounge if needed and skip the cattle call for the masses.......The good news is that Delta lounges are less crowded after January change and AA should be after September 1.
This is a welcomed crowd control effort.
I think we all have different preferences, but I’d rather use my PP benefit at a restaurant with decent food than sit in an overcrowded lounge with a bunch of appetizers. You could actually do both if you have enough time to kill at the airport. Eat well first and then jam yourself into a lounge.
IMO, I find that the real value of PP is in the restaurants more than lounges. Before they started adding restaurants, I placed little to no value on the PP perk offered by premium credit cards, especially after getting 3 credit cards with PP. Now, I can get the most value from PP alone since I travel a few times a year with a family of 5, plus my other work trips, etc.
You have to be fortunate that your local airport has a PP restaurant, and there’s a pretty good steakhouse at JFK.
