Whether it comes from the ticket, status or a credit card, what’s the one perk you value most when flying? Lounge access, an upgrade, extra legroom, seat selection, priority boarding, free checked bags, or something else completely?
Personally, it depends. Decent business class on a flight over 7 hours, I’ll take the upgrade. Domestic recliner seat or a decent lounge (capital one, chase, skyclub), I’ll take the lounge. If the lounge is a rather sad Priority Pass affair, I’ll happily buy my own pretzels and take any upgrade, even if it’s on a regional jet.
On a side note, as someone who’s very particular about where they sit (time of day, length of flight), I actually place more value than I realize on free seat selection
Curious what everyone would choose if they could only keep one.
