Been researching a new CC, was thinking of Capitol One X. One perk is access to priority pass lounges at JFK. Has anyone ever been? SInce its my main airport and I fly domestic, is it worth the time to go into one? I've heard the international ones are nice. My company expenses all food I buy so the free food aspect is not an issue for me unless on vacation with family. Any frequent fliers here?
Absolutely they are worth it.
drinks, snacks, clean(er) bathrooms, comfortable chairs/waiting areas away from the riff raff.
I don't know I'd buy a membership or a day pass, but I used to get Priority Pass and Centurion Lounge membership "free" with my Amex card.
I have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card and although I find most of the benefits useful, I'm finding that the lounge access is more trouble than its worth. The lounges of often crowded, they've really cut back on their amenities and hours since COVID and they're usually far away from the gates. The only real use for them is if you get stuck for a long time in a connecting airport like ORD or DEN.
Cards like the CSP, Amex Platinum and its ilk are useful for the insurances they offer, the attention you get when there's a problem, the point multipliers and redemption options and access to luxury items and hotels, but I wouldn't bother with them if just for the sake of lounge access
Wifi, recharging your devices, comfortable seats, and then food and drink definitely make it worthwhile.
