I also generally find most airport lounges extremely overrated.
For me, the differentiating factors for airlines is how often flights land on time and price.

If you have a flight later in the day, like when you might be returning from your trip, they are usually late.
Then to top that off, they never get the luggage off loaded in time. I picked up my sister 2 weeks ago, flying to Calgary from San Diego I think, maybe San Francisco...does not matter.
The flight was 20 minutes late, so instead of landing at 6:10 pm, it landed at 6:30 pm. That is not too bad.
However, she never got her luggage until 8:10 pm. That is bloody ridiculous...and I was waiting in the cell phone lot the whole time.
