I can see how that makes sense for some folks, but every international flight I've ever taken goes through JFK or SFO. AFAIK both airports merge MPC and GE lines, and MPC doesn't require me to use the kiosk which is technically even faster. The cost also goes up if you fly with family.
But like I said, I have enough CCs that would cover all the fees, so I'd probably maintain it that way making it a moot point.
