Of course when I have time I stop by the lounge but would rather be home, work or elsewhere than hanging around in any part of an airport for hours.
I fear a problem getting there, traffic, flat tire, accident...
I also like to get going, even if that means sitting at the airport for a bit. Sitting at home staring at the clock watching the time drag on, sucks.
At least as the airport, you can people watch, eat, look around, shop or sit in the lounge
