Do you think a airline lounge is worth the money?

Is a membership to an airline lounge worth it?

[dalbert]

I am Novell CNE and I love being able to sit at a desk with an ergonomic chair and surf the net or log into the servers from the airport. I also like chairs which are far more comfortable than the chair provided at the gate and this may sound a little silly but, I enjoy the snacks becuse they tend to hit the spot after a long day at work.

Dalbert- what airline's lounge program are you a member of?

[dalbert]

I am a member of the US Airways Club and it great for my needs. I personally like the cappuccino and the neat cookies they serve. I also a enjoy the beers they offer and the chairs which in my opinion are really comfy.

I also use one time passes to Continental Airline President Clubs.

Well i've never experienced the U.S. airways lounge. Though i have noticed they dont have many locations. Anyway i've only been to worldclubs and presidents clubs. Judging from them, it's not worth it.

Yes it is true that US Airways Clubs are few and far between, but, the clubs are nice and usually well stocked. I am a member for 4 years now and I must say that the services offered at the Club are far better than that experienced at the ticket counter. When I request and exit row or a bulk head I am usually given it as opposed to using the ticket counter when I was once told that I am lucky that the airline is flying and that I have a seat.

Sure is.

It's free during an upgraded flight and I've never used all the free passes Continental sends out every year.

Would I pay for the lounge? No. (But then I'm a confirmed cheapskate.)

I thought the president's club was only for international BusinessFirst flights. Not for domestic free upgraded flights. Also if you WOULDN'T pay for it then you voted wrong.

Continental presidents clubs are only available to members, American Express Platinum/Centurion cardholders traveling on CO, Priority Pass holders, and passengers in BusinessFirst.

As far as voting, it seems that your two options are too specific and don't necessairly reflect anything but extreme opinions. Personally, I'm a member of the Presidents Club and have been for several years. I'm considering joining Delta's Crown Room Club for access to clubs at JAX, TPA, and PHX.

Not really.

It's well worth the money it costs me . . . nothing.

I live in Guam and my flights all turn out to be international.

I don't know anything about domestic flights . . . when I was doing that that I flew myself.
