Are there different levels of Priority Pass?

There are three Priority Pass membership plans when directly purchased with Priority Pass: Prestige, Standard Plus and Standard. Each comes with a specific price point and its own set of benefits.



Yes, in 2026, Priority Pass continues to offer three primary membership tiers for those purchasing directly, though most travelers still receive it as a credit card perk. The Standard level ($99/year) is designed for occasional travelers; it provides access but requires a $35 fee for every visit. The Standard Plus ($329/year) is the "middle ground," including 10 free visits before the $35 fee kicks in. The top-tier Prestige ($469/year) offers unlimited free visits for the member. In 2026, there is also a "Select" version exclusively for premium credit card holders (like those with a Chase Sapphire Reserve), which often includes unlimited visits and sometimes allows two free guests. It is important to note that in 2026, many "Select" versions have phased out "non-lounge" experiences like airport restaurant credits, making it vital to check your specific digital membership card in the Priority Pass app to see exactly which "level" of amenities your card provides.
