No. But there are ways to make it less painful.

1) have your employer pay for it

2) route your credit card charges towards a frequent flyer miles card, get free club passes, and pay less/nothing for the flights

I understand that the credit card charges will not go towards rewards & bitcoin, but then neither will the fiat for the flights.

Also, the United Club has “free” food that is pretty good, and its usually more relaxed than the McD’s in the terminal.
