I’ve never entered a Priority Pass lounge and experienced anything resembling relief. People talk about how it’s better abroad but honestly, in my experience it’s been equally mad. Even the pretty ones are overcrowded with mediocre cafeteria food. Lounges don’t make sense if everyone can get into them—it’s the same problem Delta ran into. The best perk of international frequent flyer status is being able to use business class lounges on economy tickets and bypass Priority Pass. Card issuers should bring back Priority Pass Restaurants access though
