How many guests can I take with Priority Pass?
Most Priority Pass airport lounges allow you to bring any number of guests for a fee, but some lounges have guest limits. You can check lounge information on the Priority Pass website or app before you travel.
When applicable, guest fees are typically charged to the payment card linked to your Priority Pass membership. If you joined Priority Pass through a bank or card issuer, then guest fees can vary, so contact that company directly for your membership's guest policy.
Which membership do you have?
The guest visit fee for Priority Pass memberships is usually $35, but the charged fee may be different, or there might be a fee, if you joined Priority Pass through your bank or credit card company. Contact the financial institution to confirm information about your Priority Pass membership.
If you have a Priority Pass Select membership through Chase Sapphire Reserve®, two guests can accompany you into a Priority Pass lounge for no additional fee. Each guest beyond the first two costs $27, billed to your credit card after your visit.
Does the lounge have a guest limit?
Most lounges in the Priority Pass network don't limit the number of guests a member can bring, but some lounges do. The Priority Pass app or website has specific information about lounges, including if there's a guest limit.
When will you have to pay for a guest?
Guest fees are usually charged at a fixed rate to the credit or debit card that is linked to your Priority Pass membership.
Can I let someone else use my Priority Pass card?
No, the Priority Pass membership card is not transferable. When you access a lounge, the staff will need to check that the name printed on your membership card matches your boarding pass. The member must also be present for accompanying guests to enter.
How do I add a Priority Pass to my phone?
The Priority Pass app can allow you to access your digital membership card, though access to real-time entitlement updates can vary. This could be a good solution while you're waiting for your physical card to arrive in the mail. Even when you receive your physical card, you can continue using your digital membership card. The Priority Pass app has airport maps and digital features to help enhance your airport experience.
If you have Priority Pass through a Sapphire Reserve card, you may be able to add your digital membership card in the Chase Mobile® app. Sign in to your account, then view your Sapphire Reserve travel benefits.
What is the guest policy?
Chase Sapphire Reserve guest policy
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. Keep in mind, the card does have an annual fee.
Airline credit card guest policies
Even though airline credit cards may not offer Priority Pass membership, cardmembers may enjoy membership to the airline's airport lounges. The guest policy of that membership tends to vary from card to card. Of course, an airline credit card usually has several valuable benefits, even if Priority Pass membership isn't one.
Other travel credit card guest policies
Travel credit cards may come with a Priority Pass membership, but the lounge access for guests and members can vary. Usually, a certain number of member and guest visits may be complimentary, but this really depends on the membership terms.
Do Priority Pass guests cost additional money?
When you enroll in a membership with Priority Pass—Standard, Standard Plus and Prestige—each guest visit has a fee. At the time of writing, the fee is $35. That fee is the same for each guest. With a Sapphire Reserve card, each additional guest incurs a fee beyond the first two that accompany the Priority Pass member into an airport lounge.
In conclusion
The comforts of a lounge in the Priority Pass network can be great to enjoy with friends, family or colleagues. Memberships are not transferrable to other people, though, so the member must accompany any guests. Lounges may not limit the number of guests a member can bring, and each guest may cost a fee per visit; however, a lounge may deny entry if it reaches its capacity.
All things considered, it's best to check your membership details or credit card's benefits for an applicable guest policy. Soon enough, you could be delighting in airport lounge amenities or services with your flight companions.
