I’m preparing for a trip in a few weeks and had a question about lounge access. My journey starts in Zurich flying with Air France. When I checked the SkyTeam website it says I should have access to the Aspire Lounge there. Does anyone have experience with that lounge? What...

Curious how the boarding pass scan works when entering a Priority Pass lounge. Since Priority Pass is separate from the airlines, it seems unlikely they have full access to airline passenger databases to verify every boarding pass. So what information actually gets pulled when...

Have an 8 hour layover in Hong Kong (HKG) with Cathay Pacific. Lounge access is available at the Kyra lounge, but entry is only allowed around 3–4 hours before departure. That leaves roughly 4 hours at the start of the layover with nothing really planned. The previous connection...

Been flying Delta for years and usually had great experiences, especially compared to other airlines. But over the last year things seem to have really changed. Customer service lately feels much worse. Getting help from reps has become frustrating and it feels like there’s less...

Stopped at the SMF Priority Pass lounge with my wife and 4 kids. Showed the attendant my PP account on my phone, she typed something in, smiled, and said “we’re all set.” No mention of guest fees. No total. No warning. I didn’t hand over an Amex or any other card. A few days...

Flying Nairobi to Brussels with Qatar and have a 9 hour layover in Doha from 11 PM to 8 AM. Because there were earlier connection options, I do not qualify for complimentary hotel accommodation. Since it is overnight, exploring the city is not really practical either. I have...

I have Priority Pass through USBAR, which is supposed to include restaurant credits. I used to just rely on the PP app to see which restaurants participate. Today at LAX I tried multiple spots that were listed and got denied at all of them. What’s the point of showing them in...

We’ve got an upcoming Qatar Airways trip with an overnight layover in Doha. We land around midnight and have an onward flight at about 8am, so roughly an 8 to 8.5 hour layover. I’m debating whether it’s even worth leaving the airport for a hotel. By the time we clear immigration...

Yes, you should have lounge access at AGP. As a Flying Blue Platinum, you’re SkyTeam Elite Plus. That gives you lounge access on any same-day SkyTeam flight, including domestic ones, as long as you’re flying a SkyTeam airline (or partner like Air Europa). A few clarifications...

We’re arriving in Barcelona around 6:45am from the US after a long haul, something like 14 to 17 hours total travel time. We’ll be exhausted, but our VRBO won’t be available until the afternoon. Does anyone know if Priority Pass Select works on arrival at BCN, either for a...

LAX doesn’t really have a good solution for this, unfortunately. There’s no official left luggage or baggage storage inside the terminals. There are third party services near LAX where you can store bags, but they’re off airport and require a short Uber ride, which eats into...

Had a long workday and a red eye out of Ontario. Laptop dying, phone almost dead, tablet not far behind. So I head to the Aspire Lounge in Terminal 2, the only lounge there, expecting at least a chair, Wi-Fi, and power. First they tell me I can’t enter until 8:30pm unless I’m...

category, are you blocked from paying to access the lounge in Dubai during a connection? The difference between Saver and Special is about $500, and I don’t care about the complimentary chauffeur service since I live near the airport anyway. Just trying to figure out if choosing...

Genuinely curious why more frequent travelers don’t just get the Prestige plan. I bought it this year for about $398 with a discount and it’s been great unlimited lounge, restaurant, and sleep pod access without any credit card tie-ins. Even at the regular $469, it feels like...

I’ve got a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong from about 8:30 pm to 8:30 am. Trying to figure out if it’s worth heading into the city at those hours or if I’m better off staying airside. I do have oneworld Emerald lounge access. Are any of the lounges actually open overnight? And if...

I just realized I never actually enrolled in Priority Pass through Amex. Did it today, but I’m flying tomorrow so the physical card obviously won’t arrive in time. Anyone know if The Club at SFO will accept access without the physical Priority Pass card? App, membership number,...

I don’t have a credit card and my family is very cautious about them, so lounge access through CCs isn’t an option for me right now. I’ve actually never used an airport lounge because of that. For those who pay out of pocket, what does lounge access usually cost at Indian...

Flying Cathay Pacific out of SFO midweek and planning to arrive around 8:30 AM at the international terminal. For anyone who’s tried recently, do you actually have a shot at getting into any of the Priority Pass lounges there, even right around opening time? Or is it one of...
