Whether you’re just getting started with points and miles or are a seasoned traveler, this in-depth look at Priority Pass answers any questions you may have about the lounge program.
Find out whether Priority Pass is worth it — and if one of the credit cards in your wallet offers Priority Pass as a membership perk!
Let’s take a look at how to get a membership, the benefits of Priority Pass, and every U.S. lounge location, including hours, special policies, guest policies, and amenities.
What Is Priority Pass?
Priority Pass is an independent lounge program that provides members access to over 1,300 airport lounge locations or restaurants in over 600 cities and 140 countries worldwide.

With a Priority Pass membership, you can utilize each participating lounge regardless of the airline you’re flying, the class of your ticket, or your membership or lack thereof in any frequent flyer program.
The fee you’ll pay will depend on the membership you choose. But luckily, there are a number of credit cards that offer complimentary Priority Pass membership, which we’ll discuss more in detail below.
Priority Pass Benefits
General Lounge Amenities
With a Priority Pass membership, you’ll receive benefits such as:
- Complimentary refreshments, including alcohol in most lounges
- Space to work or relax in a comfortable place
- Free Wi-Fi in most lounges
- Comfortable seats and quiet spaces
- The latest magazines and newspapers
- Power sockets to give your devices a boost
- Conference rooms, showers, beds, and spa facilities in select lounges
If a lounge has any special amenities, we have noted them below.
Restaurants, Be Relax Spas, and Minute Suites
Additionally, Priority Pass comes with access to a handful of restaurants, Be Relax Spas, and Minute Suite locations in the U.S. and abroad. This gives members yet another way to utilize their membership, especially at locations that may not offer a traditional lounge.
When it comes to Priority Pass-designated restaurants, cardholders will usually receive $28 off the final bill. And restaurants will usually allow 1 guest per cardholder and will issue $56 off the final bill ($28 per person).
At eligible Be Relax Spa locations, Priority Pass members are entitled to select one of a variety of massage and aromatherapy services.
At the Minute Suite locations, Priority Pass members receive 1 hour of access for free, with the option to rent additional hours at a discounted rate of $28 to $34. Showers are also available for an extra cost.
Hot Tip: Priority Pass memberships from U.S.-issued American Express cards, including The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, no longer include Priority Pass restaurant access, referred to as “non-lounge airport experiences.”
Lounge Access
To access a Priority Pass lounge, members must present membership identification.
Most lounges now accept a digital membership card that can be accessed via the Priority Pass app. However, be sure to check the requirements of the specific lounge you wish to visit before arriving. In some cases, the lounge will require a physical membership card.
Guest Policies
The number of guests allowed varies per lounge, is often subject to space and capacity constraints, and depends on the type of membership you have.
If, for example, you obtained a Priority Pass membership directly from Priority Pass, the guest access price is $32 per guest per visit (though this fee is expected to increase on December 1, 2022). This guest fee will be charged directly to your nominated payment card.
Some of the more popular travel rewards credit cards, like the Amex Platinum card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, give you complimentary access for 2 guests.
Priority Pass App
The Priority Pass app is available for Apple and Android users to download on their smartphones. This app is free and includes access to your digital membership card. Additionally, the app provides users the ability to search for lounges, rate lounges, and access their visit history. Specific to each lounge, users can find lounge images, hours, and amenities offered.

Other Benefits
Family/Partner Pass: Priority Pass doesn’t advertise it boldly, but they do offer a Partner Standard Membership at half price. Members should contact the Membership Services team for more information.
Referral Bonuses: Through a special referral link, Priority Pass members can refer friends and receive free guest visits in return. Plus, your friends get 10% off their membership as a perk. There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer.
How To Get Priority Pass Membership
There are 2 ways to get a Priority Pass membership, either by purchasing a membership directly or receiving a Priority Pass Select membership as a benefit on a travel rewards credit card.
Hot Tip: Priority Pass Select is the membership plan you’re given when you receive your membership through a U.S. financial institution such as your bank account or a credit card.
Credit Card Benefit
The best way to acquire membership is to have a credit card that offers Priority Pass as a cardmember benefit.
The following credit cards are our favorites that include Priority Pass Select as a cardholder benefit, and for each card below you can bring up to 2 guests in with you, complimentary.
Hot Tip: Check to see if you’re eligible for a welcome offer of up to 150,000 points with the Amex Platinum card! (The current public offer is 80,000 points.)
Enrollment Is Required
If you receive Priority Pass membership through one of the above credit cards, you’re required to officially enroll to utilize your benefits. You cannot simply show your credit card and expect entry. Refer to your membership guide or contact your credit card’s customer service staff for help with enrollment.
Paid Membership Plan
If you don’t have a credit card that includes Priority Pass as a member benefit, you can sign up for a membership plan on the Priority Pass website. The pricing varies by country and desired plan benefits.

There are 3 membership tiers:
- The Standard plan has a $99 annual fee. Customers must also pay an additional $32 each time they visit a lounge.
- The Standard Plus plan has a $299 annual fee and customers receive 10 “free” visits. Each additional visit thereafter is $32. This plan increases to $329 on December 1, 2022.
- The Prestige plan has a $429 annual fee and customers receive all visits “free.” This plan increases to $469 on December 1, 2022.
On all plans, each guest will cost $32 and the number of guests is subject to each specific lounge’s policy. Guest fees are expected to increase on December 1, 2022.
Hot Tip: Priority Pass often offers discounts on its memberships. For example, at the time of writing, the Standard plan is offered at 50% off and the Standard Plus plan at 35% off.
Not Sure Which Plan Is Right for You?
Check out this handy table based on how many times you might visit a Priority Pass Lounge each year:
|
Standard |
Standard Plus |
Prestige |
Select (Credit Card Benefit) |
| 1 visit |
$131 |
$299 |
$429
|
FREE
(with your annual credit card membership fee)
|
| 5 visits |
$259 |

| 10 visits |
$419 |
$299 |
| 15 visits |
$579 |
$459 |
| 20 visits |
$739 |
$569 |
If you only plan to visit a Priority Pass lounge 5 times in a year, for example, the Standard plan should suffice. But any number of visits past 5 will end up costing you more than if you had purchased the Standard Plus plan to begin with. And the Prestige Plan is only your best bet if you plan to visit any of the lounges more than 14 times in 1 year.
Why not get a credit card that already includes Priority Pass Select as well as a multitude of other cost-saving benefits, rewards, and perks? A Priority Pass Select membership means FREE access to thousands of lounges worldwide via a credit card you may already have in your wallet.

Final Thoughts
If you’re considering a Priority Pass membership and you travel often, it’s a lot more lucrative to sign up for one of the credit cards that offer a Priority Pass membership than signing up directly for a membership. Each of these credit cards provides additional cost-saving benefits to frequent flyers, so the value will outweigh signing up for a direct membership alone.
Priority Pass is consistently expanding its lounge options, meaning you’ll have a decent choice for lounge access at most places you fly.
