[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the big appeal of these lounges. Who wants to sit away from the gate for the what, 30 mins you are waiting? I guess if there’s a delay or you have a really long layover? I had to kill 2 hrs waiting for a flight recently and had no problem finding a nice spot to sit. [/quote]

It's more for layovers. Or international flights where you are supposed to arrive way early, but then often sail through checkin. [/quote]

Yes this is how we use them.   [/quote]

Or if your flight is around a meal time. Like say it's at 2 PM, I might arrive at DCA at 12:30 instead of 1, and use the extra 30 minutes to grab lunch. Also the CapOne lounge at Dulles has a "killer app" which is its grab and go station. Last time I was there I got a quick latte, grabbed a sandwich and water for my flight, and left 5 minutes later.

And a lot of.people might say have meetings until 4 PM, and their flight isn't until 7. Rather than sit in a cubicle for.another hour, head to.the airport and chill there with free food and drinks.

But the lines are a real problem, especially when you only budget say 30 minutes to stop at the lounge. I would never pay a significant amount for lounge access, but happy to use it when it makes sense when it's an added credit card benefit.[/quote]
