Who buys PP directly when you can get the same benefits free with a dozen credit cards? Seriously?

Maybe that makes sense if you live ex-USA and can't apply for cards, but no sense for US residents. I've been to 6 continents and rarely use these Plaza lounges. For Arrivals I normally go direct to my hotel. At LHR I use BA, *A, AA lounges. In T5 I used the mediocre Aspire lounge. At HKG I use the SQ, UA lounges. But of course YMMV.
