Off topic, but you covered my thoughts on the lounges exactly. A friend brought me in as their +1 at MSP and I could see it being a way to save a few bucks on food over a year if you travel a lot, but I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to get access. I’d rather sit somewhere quiet and migrate to within earshot of the gate at t-60 to listen for voluntary bump opportunities if my schedule allows.
