Priority Pass™ is a digital loyalty card and airport lounge benefits manager designed for frequent travelers. It allows users to discover and book lounge access using their accumulated loyalty points from various credit cards, hotel stays, and other partners. Essentially, it consolidates travel rewards into one easy-to-use platform, benefiting travelers who rely on multiple loyalty programs.

The core appeal of Priority Pass™ lies in its convenience and cost-effectiveness. It eliminates the need to remember which specific rewards program offers lounge access where, and allows users to book lounges on the fly. For frequent flyers, this translates to saving money and enhancing their travel experience by ensuring access to comfortable amenities whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I link my airline loyalty accounts to the Priority Pass™ app?
A: Linking your accounts is usually a simple process. Open the app, navigate to the ‘My Accounts’ section, tap ‘Add Account’, select your preferred airline or loyalty program from the list, and enter your login credentials or email/password. Once connected, all your accumulated points and status tiers feed into your Priority Pass™ balance.

Q: Can I use Priority Pass™ to book lounge access if I don’t have any points?
A: While booking lounge seats directly with Priority Pass points is the primary way, some lounge access is also available using premium cabin upgrades on eligible flights. However, this depends heavily on the airline’s specific agreement with Priority Pass™ and is typically limited to long-haul or premium economy fares.

Q: Is the Priority Pass™ app free to download and use?
A: Yes, the Priority Pass™ app is free to download from app stores. Basic browsing and lounge search functions are complimentary. However, lounge seating is purchased with your accumulated Priority Pass™ points or potentially other rewards, not a direct app fee. Some partner loyalty programs may require their specific app or website for point transfers.

Q: How up-to-date is the lounge information on the Priority Pass™ app?
A: We strive to keep lounge details current, including opening hours, available amenities, and compatibility with Priority Pass™. Information is refreshed frequently based on member reports and updates from lounge operators. It’s always wise to double-check details within the app before visiting a lounge near your gate, as opening hours can sometimes change without notice.

Q: Does Priority Pass™ work for family members traveling together?
A: Absolutely. The Priority Pass™ app allows you to view and manage your entire household’s loyalty points. When booking lounge access, you can typically book for multiple travelers using a single login. Sharing point balances is also straightforward, making it easy to ensure all family members can enjoy lounge benefits during long journeys.
