It depends on how you value the perks - many of them (access to the GS lounges, for example) can&#x27;t actually be purchased so there&#x27;s no &quot;real&quot; value for them besides how much they are worth to you.<p>If you&#x27;re flying 50 times a year for business, lounge access may be worth substantially more to you than if you only flew a few times a year. Not to mention if you&#x27;re going to be flying 50 times a year, that $560 means ~$10 per flight to make your experience substantially less awful.
