Lounge Pass is a pay as you scheme for accessing airport lounges.Priority Pass is a membership scheme with 3 different levels of membership. Deciding which is the best option for you depends on where you plan to travel, how you often you plan to use an airport lounge and if you will have a guest with you.
Tipping is not required in airport loungesIn the United States, for example, tipping most members of a wait staff and professionals who provide a service is customary. Despite this convention, tipping in a U.S. airport lounge is not required.
Technically, you can access lounges for only three hours, though some lounges will waive this rule. Many lounges may restrict access to passengers departing from that airport, meaning you may not always be able to use the Priority Pass membership as an arrivals lounge.
What if I don't have my payment card with Priority Pass access with me? You may be unable to complete the entry process and will not be permitted access into the lounge. We strongly recommend that you pre-register your payment card by logging in and updating your details at prioritypass.com.
Can my membership card be used by someone else? The Priority Pass membership card is non-transferable. When you access a lounge, the staff will need to check that the name printed on your membership card matches your boarding pass.
If you don't have access to airline or credit card lounges, you might want to investigate Priority Pass, a service that provides access to more than 1,300 lounges worldwide. Even better, it's a perk included with many top-tier travel credit cards, so you might not even have to pay for it.
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.
As a Platinum Cardholder, you are entitled to a complimentary membership in Priority Pass. This allows you to wait for your flight in a relaxed atmosphere in one of the more than 1,200 Priority Pass lounges around the world.
Lounges in the Priority Pass network may have slightly different policies, but the general time limit is 3 hours. You can find information about a specific lounge, such as its hours and specific amenities, on the Priority Pass website or app. It's easy to search for lounges by city and airport.
