[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 19 points 2 years ago (2 children) As a frequent flyer with lounge access I tend to agree. When I want to be alone with a movie or something, I can be, and when I feel like having a (free!) beer where the people are, I can do that too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm so angry Delta removed lounge access from Amex Platinum card holders. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Enshitified! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gork@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (3 children) I liked to think that I was a frequent flyer but the bar is set so high. I flew twice a week, every week, for nearly a year straight at my job. Only made it up to Delta Gold status recently and I can't even access the lounge. I already spent nearly a year of my life living in a hotel and I'm not even in the top tiers of the travel world. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Damage@feddit.it 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) You don't spend enough.

There was a WSJ article about this very thing: frequent flyer miles are more based on spending with the airline CC then by actually flying. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago Airline status is a joke these days. If you don't have their credit card it's basically impossible. permalink fedilink source parent [–] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't know about Delta (never flown with them), but with my usual airlines it's not just the frequency, but also distance and ticket type. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Gork@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago Yeah I was flying domestic 600 mile (965 km) flights across the country in main cabin sardine class so I probably wasn't racking up miles that well. permalink fedilink source parent
