airline club memberships costing several hundreds of dollars annually, and a single lounge visit running $ 50 at most airports, if you pick a card that gives you lounge benefits you'll make use of, the card will quickly pay for itself.
Airline club memberships also give you access into alliance or partner clubs, such as the Star Alliance or Oneworld, which will help if you're traveling internationally.
In summary, if you fly Delta frequently, use an airport that has a Centurion Lounge, or spend a lot of time in airports outside the U.S., you can get a lot of use out of the lounge access benefit of The Platinum Card for a price that's less than typical
standalone airline club membership.
Those few can cost anywhere between $ 195 and $ 450 per year, and generally offer more exclusive benefits such as travel credits or
airline club membership.
