We recommend: Priority Pass Priority Pass Select is a lounge access program offering its members access to over 1,200 airport partner airline lounges in more than 500 cities across 130 countries. Priority Pass memberships are available as a standalone product or as a benefit of holding a rewards credit card. To access a Priority Pass lounge when traveling, present your ID, Priority Pass membership card and your same-day boarding pass to the lounge check-in agent. The agent will verify your credentials, count the number of guests and process your visit request. If your Priority Pass membership includes a limited allotment of visits, the applicable number of visits will be deducted from your allotment. If your visit is subject to a charge, either for yourself or for your guests, the visit will be automatically billed to the credit card associated with your Priority Pass Select membership. Because Priority Pass is a lounge access program and contracts with independently-run airport lounges to provide access to its members, the exact amenities available at each lounge varies. Most lounges offer a separate space away from the terminal, comfortable seating, a selection of beverages and snacks, and complimentary wireless internet access. Some lounges include an increased food and beverage selection, or additional amenities, including sleeping areas and showers. Priority Pass offers a mobile app for both Android and iOS users. If you are a Priority Pass Select member, having the mobile app on your phone is a useful tool that can help you find a lounge nearby and get you access.

Priority Pass Prestige costs £339 per year and offers unlimited member visits, with a £20 per guest visit charge. Priority Pass Select is only available through certain premium credit cards and bank account offerings Is Priority Pass worth having?
