I assume you’re arriving domestically and not going through customs and immigration at AUS? If so, I’d save the money for Premier Access and use it for dining instead. . If your inbound aircraft even approximates being on-time, you’ll be fine… unless you’re coming in on Frontier or Allegiant, whose use the South Terminal and which would require a shuttle to the main terminal.
