Hi irishguy28,
Yes - I agree completely
Kindly, the Priority Pass that comes with the AMEX gets me into the No1 (and the ServisAir, but hmmm) in Gatwick South terminal which should be nice for some pancakes before the 915am flight over to Dublin. On the Boston leg, the Priority Pass gets me into the Air France lounge in Boston (which is nice enough... though there was a mouse last time I was there!).
Pity not flying with Virgin or BA this time

They've got a lovely sale over between London and Boston direct - if only I'd waited another 48 hours to book and then I could've got a lovely deal with them - alas, bygones!
Take care everybody
Simon
