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.
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.
You don't spend enough. Try being rich next time.
That's pretty much it. 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.
