How many guests can I bring with Priority Pass?

Each cardmember Priority Pass Select membership includes two guests per lounge visit. For each additional guest beyond that, your card will be charged a fee per guest, per visit.



In 2026, the number of guests you can bring with a Priority Pass depends entirely on the specific "membership type" you hold. If you have a standard membership purchased directly from Priority Pass, you can typically bring as many guests as you like, but you must pay a fee (usually around $35 per person) for each guest. However, most travelers have Priority Pass through a premium credit card (like the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Amex Platinum). These cards historically allowed two complimentary guests per visit. However, as of February 2026, some major issuers, notably Capital One, have revised their policies to charge for guests or restrict access to "Authorized Users" only. It is vital to check your specific card’s benefit dashboard before traveling. Additionally, even if your membership allows guests, individual lounges have the right to refuse guests if the lounge is near capacity. In 2026, "Lounge Booking" features in the Priority Pass app allow you to see current guest availability and, in some locations, pre-pay for guest entry to guarantee a spot for your travel companions.
