Can I take a guest with me on Priority Pass?

Priority Pass is an independent airport lounge access program. At any visit to a Priority Pass lounge, you may bring in one guest at no charge. You will be charged the prevailing retail rate for any additional guests.



Whether you can bring a guest for free on your Priority Pass depends entirely on the specific "Plan" or credit card that issued your membership. In early 2026, most premium travel cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or the Amex Platinum include two complimentary guests per visit. However, some newer mid-tier cards have moved to a "member only" model where any guest incurs a fee, typically around $35 per person. It is vital to check your digital membership card in the Priority Pass app, which will clearly state your guest entitlement. When you arrive at a lounge, the staff will scan your QR code and the number of guests you bring; if your plan doesn't cover them, the fee will be automatically charged to the credit card linked to your account. Always remember that lounges have the right to refuse guests during peak "capacity" periods, even if your membership allows them.
