For frequent travellers like myself, comfort and convenience are just as important as the destination itself! I like to make my journey as pleasant and as stress free as possible.
This is where Priority Pass comes in—a membership program that grants you access to over 1,300 airport lounges worldwide.
What is Priority Pass?
Priority Pass is a globally recognised membership program that provides travellers access to a network of exclusive airport lounges across more than 600 cities in over 140 countries. Unlike traditional airline lounges that may only cater to premium class passengers or members of specific frequent flyer programs, Priority Pass is accessible to anyone willing to pay a membership fee, making it one of the most inclusive and versatile lounge programs available.
The Benefits of Priority Pass
You will have access to participating airport lounges regardless of the airline or class of service you are flying. This includes a comfortable place to relax, free Wi-Fi, food and beverages, and sometimes additional amenities like showers, workstations, and nap areas.
Priority Pass offers discounts at certain airport restaurants, bars, and even spas, which can add value beyond just lounge access.
Lounges provide a quiet environment away from the hustle of the main terminal, making it easier to work, relax, or catch up on sleep.
Depending on the membership level, you can bring guests into the lounge for free or a discounted fee.
Many lounges provide business amenities, such as meeting rooms, printers, and charging stations, making it easier to stay productive.
Membership Cost
Priority Pass offers three tiers of membership, each with different benefits and costs:
1. Standard Membership:
Annual Fee: £69

Having a priority pass has really made a difference to the way I travel, both when I am on my own and with my family. To find out more about membership head to their website.
