I got priority pass with a card. Dunno what to do with it. Pls help
Priority Pass is an international network of lounges. All participating lounges can be found on prioritypass.com. To use Priority Pass, simply present the PP card and your boarding pass at the lounge (they verify that the names match).
If you buy a Priority Pass directly, the basic plan costs $99/year, but each visit to a participating lounge costs $35.
- Some banks in India offer only the basic subscription plan, which doesn’t include free lounge visits. For example, Amex Platinum Travel
- Others provide a set of complimentary visits, and beyond that, you’ll be charged $27-$35 per person per visit. This fee will be directly charged to the associated card.
- Some banks, like SBI, offer complimentary visits, but the card is valid for only 2 years.
- Most Indian credit cards, with exceptions like Infinia, restrict free access to lounges using the Priority Pass to lounges outside of India. If you use the PP card in lounge within India (no matter the terminal) you will be charged the card rate.
For information about the specific credit card you have, search for its official page.
Hii, I keep hearing about Priority Pass when people talk about travel and lounges. Can someone please explain in simple terms what exactly Priority Pass is and how it works?
Hey, that’s a great question, and it’s something many travelers wonder about when they first hear the term.
What Priority Pass Is?
Priority Pass is a global membership program that gives you access to airport lounges around the world, regardless of which airline or class you’re flying. It’s especially useful if you don’t always travel business class but still want the comfort of a lounge.
What You Get Inside the Lounges:
With a Priority Pass, you can relax in over 1,300 lounges worldwide, where you usually get:
• Comfortable seating.
• Complimentary food and drinks.
• Free Wi-Fi.
• Charging points and sometimes even showers or nap areas.
• It makes waiting at the airport much more comfortable.
How You Can Get It:
You can buy a Priority Pass membership directly, but many premium credit cards and travel memberships in India and globally offer it as a complimentary benefit. In some cases, they also include a limited number of free visits per year.
Personal Tip:
If you travel even just a few times a year, Priority Pass can be worth it. It helps you avoid crowded terminals and gives you a much smoother travel experience.
