Priority pass changed my flight experience so much in a good way. It is a luxurious thing, but it makes it so much better. Before I would have to pick between stress of missing my flight, or not being able to work. With priority pass I just leave 3.5 hours in advance, travel to the airport no stress and then plop down in a lounge and work while eating and drinking something. That is +/- 1.5 to 2.5 hours every flight I can just be productive while having to 'wait'.

In-flight wifi is also on my list, long haul I never travel without anymore. If I am sitting in a metal tube for 10 hours, I might as well take 8 of those hours and be productive while I am flying. The 30 euro for wifi is a no brainer then.

Some credit cards offer it.

Totally agree! We have the Chase Reserve card with priority pass. We don’t use the lounges all that much, but we use the priority pass for the food credit of $80 for you and a guest. We travel with our 2 kids so they are each our guest, and get we get a total of $160 in food when traveling to or from most airports. It’s awesome! Along with the $300 travel credit each year the card pays for itself many times over for us.

We have T mobile Magenta Max phone plan which comes with free in flight wifi which is also a great perk if you travel a lot!

Once you add up the meals, coffees, and free internet access Priority Pass looks more like a good investment than a luxury. I'm kicking myself for the years I traveled without it.
