Make my own contract lounge access: Priority Pass.

The upside and downside of the “make my own lounge access” approach is that I’m perhaps more willing to fly more carriers than I otherwise would.

And after seeing an American Airlines plane positioned right next to a Ryanair plane, their real life juxtaposition brought to mind that maybe it’s the legacy majors which are leading the LCCs when it comes to cutting and making things worse for passengers in the main. Perhaps Ryanair’s worst plane lavatories aren’t as wretched as the worst American Airline plane lavatories? And perhaps Ryanair doesn’t even have contract lounge access costs as an item to cut?
