Can you bring family to airport lounge?

For contract lounges, the guest must be travelling on the same Star Alliance flight as the customer. Any accompanying person over the age of two is considered a guest. Children under the age of two may accompany the customer to the lounge and are not considered as guests.



Yes, you can almost always bring family members to an airport lounge, but the cost and quantity depend on your access method. If you have a Priority Pass membership (often through a credit card), you can usually bring guests for a fee—typically around $35 per person—though some high-end cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Amex Platinum include two free guests. If you are using Airline Status (like Delta Medallion or United Premier), you are generally allowed to bring one or two "immediate family" members or one guest for free on international itineraries. For paid lounge access, many lounges offer "Family Passes" or allow children under a certain age (often 2 or 12) to enter for free. In 2026, due to lounge overcrowding, some locations have implemented stricter "two guest maximum" rules, so it is always wise to check the specific lounge's policy on the Priority Pass or airline app before you arrive with a large group.
