Dislike this. I never saw it as a wealthy skip the line. It's not that expensive . And they are on their private jets already. It's great for those of us that travel enough for work that it justifies the cost. When you fly more than once a week it's nice to be able to pay to not have to wait for those that do it twice a year(and are not as efficient due to lack of practice)
Once everyone is using it, no one is getting value from it. Then it’s just another unneeded fee you have to pay not to wait 2 hours. This is disney-like squeeze for more money.
You always have to consider the insidious nature of things like this… once they’re common and you have to use them not to wait, everyone will be in the same place, minus $300 a year. Yes, I raised the price; once a large number of travelers are onboarded and you have to use it or wait forever, that’s what the company will do.
Not defending the company per se. I assume they are just as scummy as the next, but I don't see why everyone would sign up. There's next to no value there if you don't travel alot
