You get the value of a peaceful place to sit away from the gate, you get the value of "refreshments" and "snacks", you get the value of the best agents in the system that can often make the "impossible" happen very quickly with your record. If the terminal E snacks (which was widely discussed on here as a loophole that could be taken advantage of) or the NRT sushi is REALLY going to keep someone off of a flight, that person is in serious need of help. Honestly, if DL paid people to fly, there would still be those on here complaining that it wasn't enough. I am a former NW flyer. The whining from that alumni group on here is nauseating.
So if you pay $20 per visit, do you feel like you have to eat/drink that much to make it a "value"?
....and I do think DL cares if you are on a $79 fare. I wish this would go to a revenue system so all of the self-righteous "most valuable flyers" on here going around the world 5 times on a T fare could promptly be sorted and lose the horrible sense of entitlement.
