What is Priority Pass?
Priority Pass is a membership program that provides access to over 1,300 lounges in the Priority Pass network around the globe.
Each lounge is slightly different, offering unique features. However, most airport lounges include:
- Complimentary refreshments, including alcohol (where allowed)
- Spacious and comfortable lounge areas to stretch out
- Comfortable seats and quiet spaces
- Workstations
- Outlets for charging
- Free Wi-Fi in most lounges
Lounges in the Priority Pass network are not in every airport, so be sure to find out ahead of time if there is one at your departure and arrival airport by visiting the Priority Pass website. Lounges at busy airports during peak travel times can often fill up fast.
