Well there is that, but OTOH you can book a US domestic economy class ticket and end up in domestic first class as a matter of routine on US carriers, so overall I'd take that in preference to lounge access on US domestic flights. I ended up in F after buying a Y ticket on 5 out of 5 US domestic flights last trip.

Club Europe is a joke. It's not even anywhere near close to BA long haul Premium Economy in terms of comfort. I think if it was offered to me, about £3.50 is as much as I'd be prepared to pay for it. Maybe a fiver if I was hungry, as I guess the food is better
