Because not all of us travel for business where time is of the essence?

Because for some of us the entire experience matters?

Because some of us like nice lounges and good food and want them to be part of our travel?

Some of my best travel memories (ie, the getting there as opposed to the destination) involve relaxing in lounges with great food and wine. No problem whatsoever if they don’t for you, but surely you can understand how they might for others, no?
