I find this thread really amusing. Strange how UA/US fliers have such low expectations of their FF program. Half of the reason I was looking forward to making *G with AC was precisely being able to use lounges whenever I fly. Getting a snack, checking email, and showering when on a connection for a red-eye is the whole reason they exist.

I used the SFO RCC a few months ago and was shocked. chips and crackers, a bartender who expects to be tipped, and paid wifi. Why is this any better than just sitting in the airport terminal?

The agent seemed embarrassed about the wifi actually. She pointed me at a corner where I could pick up SQ's regular router. I bet UA pays t-mobile thousands of dollars for the wifi and SQ just bought a $50 router at Fry's.
