I see. These are some things I cannot simply get from an airline credit card I supposed.

I am just trying to weigh out the pros and cons how much do I really save in $$ and time, or should I just purchase a F class ticket and be done with it? If I want the comfort I definitely don't mind paying a F ticket. I fly 15-25 times a year. Seeing if its worth it.
