Why would you want to be on the plane earlier than necessary? Only thing I can think of is better access to the overhead lockers, which fill up fast these days.

- pards 1y ago> Lounge access is worth it alone Airport food & coffee is expensive and often not very good. At least with lounge access, I get that subpar food & coffee for free plus somewhere to sit. With a family, that can save a significant chunk of money off the cost of a holiday.

If a small meal / snack saves a significant chunk of money off the cost of a holiday then one of us is not doing it right. Flights and accommodation are the lions share of costs as far as my limited experience goes. (P.S. I was meant to be leaving for Japan this morning, but family medical emergency has ruled it out. Flights were $5,500. I'd hope that airport food costs wouldn't raise a blip on a radar set to that scale).
