Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is one of the fastest-growing airports in the United States, with annual passenger traffic of around 21 million.

However, it may come as a surprise that AUS only has 3 full-fledged lounges (with 1 more operating as a seasonal, temporary space) for eligible passengers. There are no Priority Pass lounges, either.

Although the airport’s current expansion project is set to alleviate congestion operationally at security and baggage claim, there aren’t concrete plans for other lounges just yet.
