If the flight is long enough. a bad meal is included.
From what I've seen on the limited number of US domestic flights I've taken first class appears to be little more than a nicer seat with more legroom. What exactly do you get when flying first class?
We got the Chase Sapphire Reserve card that provides the Priority Pass for lounges. There is a separate thread on the benefits of the card. We have enjoyed the lounges that we have gained access too, but we haven't always had access depending on the airport and location of the lounges.
I don't think we would pay a significant fee for lounge access unless we were flying a significant amount.

Like you, Mike, I also have the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card and recently used my free Priority Pass during an 8-hour layover in Taipei. The lounge was very nice, and I was able to get a lot of productive work done that would not have been possible sitting in the standard gate lounge. It was quiet, good facilities, and a hot meal available. As others have said, a day pass is very costly, but the Priority Pass is a nice perk for having the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card.
We used the lounge at San Jose (SJC) very early on a Saturday morning. There was yogurt, some granola bars, great coffee, cocoa, etc. It's a Priority Pass Lounge, and I can honestly tell you, it felt so good to sit and put my feet up for a while in that lounge. The coffee was so incredibly good in that lounge, and with all of the various creamers I like. I am so happy our Chase Sapphire Reserve cards let us visit this lounge at no cost to us. What a great perk. You do have to request the cards, those do not automatically come to your home with the credit card. Rick loves the lounges.
definitely worth the $225 a year we pay for the CSR card.
It is.I thought CSR was $450 per year.
