With the exception of the AS Lounges I haven't felt this benefit has deteriorated since I first started using PP in 2015. That said, I like PP because of how much it helps me at second tier airports. For instance I was able to use it in MTY last weekend for a lounge and I've also used it at smaller overseas airports like LCG, SOF, FUK, PUS etc. Even in the US it's nice that if I'm not flying Delta I have a lounge in CVG, a lounge at SJC, CLE, BIW etc. Beyond the Board Room the lounges I access through PP are never crowded.
