If you receive your membership card as a benefit from a card issuer or other organisation, it may feel like you’ve already joined as you have already confirmed with that company that you’d like to be a part of the Priority Pass program. However, in order to take full advantage of all the benefits of Priority Pass membership, we also need to register your details either through the Priority Pass website or app, in order to provide you an online account to support your membership experience. Your data is kept highly secure (SSL and PCI compliant) and we will never share it with third parties without your permission.

There are currently two ways of logging in on the Priority Pass website: using your user name and password or alternatively, using your membership number and password. We encourage all our Members who are still using their membership number and password, to log in and update your account to provide a user name which can then be used when logging in in future.

Due to the nature of our program it is not possible to upgrade or downgrade your membership during a membership year; it must be actioned when you are renewing your membership. If you have received Priority Pass as a benefit from a card issuer or another of our partners, then unfortunately we are not able to make changes to your membership type – it’s best to contact your issuer if you have any questions regards your membership benefit.

Unfortunately it's not possible to carry over any unused visit allocation to your next membership year.

Unfortunately it’s not possible to transfer or share lounge visits with other Members at this time.

No - lounge visits may not be exchanged and may only be used by the person named on the Priority Pass membership card.

The Priority Pass membership card is non-transferable. When you access a lounge, the staff will need to check that the name printed on your membership card matches your boarding pass.

Please log in to your web account , where you can change your settings in the Communications Preferences section of the 'My Details' tab. To unsubscribe from any broadcast emails you receive from us, simply use the unsubscribe function which you'll find at the bottom of the email.

We’d be sorry to see you go, but if you really do need to cancel your membership, please call our Membership Services team, with your membership number to hand. Priority Pass is only able to cancel memberships that have been purchased directly from us. If you have received your membership in any other way please contact your card issuer to discuss cancellation.

Depending on the Priority Pass program you belong to, then it may be possible to print a receipt. Please log in to your web account where you can view and download receipts directly from the My Visits section. This service is currently only available on the Priority Pass website.

Your receipt will show all charged visits, including any guest visits. A record of visits that have not been charged to your card is also visible on the My Visits page; this will show the number of visits against a charge of zero.

Please note that receipts for visits that have a ‘declined’ or ‘pending payment’ status will not be available until the payment has been received and processed.

If you do not see these options in your online account, then unfortunately we cannot provide this service for you at this time and our Membership Services team will be unable to help. If you still require a receipt, please contact the card issuer that gave you Priority Pass membership for assistance.

Unfortunately it is not possible to download this from our website at the current time, but you can contact our Membership Services team who can help. Please note that we can only provide a receipt for Priority Pass membership fees to those who have purchased a membership directly from us.

Your physical membership card – which is accepted at all the lounges in our program – will be dispatched as soon as possible once you have joined - normally within three business days of receipt of your payment for membership. Please note that delivery times can vary.

If you joined directly via the Priority Pass website, or through our Membership Services team, you will be able to use your personalized Digital Membership Card immediately; this will allow you instant access to the majority of the 1,400++ lounges in our program as well as providing you access to other program benefits.

If you did not enrol directly with Priority Pass but your membership program gives you access to the Digital Membership Card, then you will be able to use your Digital card immediately. In some cases, you may need to wait until receiving your printed membership pack before you can register and set up your Digital Membership Card. Please contact your card issuer if you need more information on this process.

Please note that not all our Members are able to use the Digital Membership Card at this time. We are working hard to make this feature available to all our Members through updates to the Priority Pass app. If you do have a Digital Membership Card, we highly recommend that you carry your physical membership card with you when you travel, as a back-up.

Some of our memberships programs are fully digital. This means that you will have access to all the benefits of Priority Pass, with the exception of a small number of lounges that are not able to scan the Digital Membership Card at this time. When planning your lounge visit, please check for the Digital Membership Card acceptance icon on individual lounge pages of our app or website.

If you are eligible for the Digital Membership Card, you can access this immediately via the Account or Card section of the app. If you are using an Apple phone or device, you can also add it to your Apple Wallet from here.

To view your Digital Membership Card, please log into your account. Please note that, the Digital Membership Card is not available to all Members at this time. We recognize this is a valuable feature and are working hard with all our partners to make this available to all members through future updates to our app.

Lounge access is only available on presentation of a valid Priority Pass membership card. All lounges accept the physical membership card and the majority of our 1,400++ lounges also accept the Digital Membership Card. To avoid any disappointment, we recommend you always carry both cards with you when traveling.

If you have joined us directly through our website or Membership Services team, then your membership pack will be dispatched within three business days of us receiving payment of your membership fee. Please remember that it will take additional time for our delivery service to get your package to you. If you have received your Priority Pass membership from a card issuer or other organization, then delivery times may vary. Please make sure you allow plenty of time for your membership pack to arrive before you travel.
In the meantime, you can use your Digital Membership Card, if you have access to this feature. For more information, please see: How long does it take to get my membership card

Please report your lost, stolen or damaged Priority Pass membership card immediately to our Membership Services team. Dependent on your membership status, our team may be able provide you with a replacement membership card that will be dispatched within three business days (delivery times may vary). In some cases, our Membership Services team may need to refer your request for assistance to the card issuer or organization that has granted you access to Priority Pass.

The Priority Pass Digital Membership Card allows you to access the vast majority of lounges participating in the program – all you need to do is display the QR code found in the app or the ‘My Account’ section of our mobile website. 
When you arrive at the lounge, simply open your Digital Membership Card on your device and flip the card over to display the QR code (it looks like a square). The lounge staff will scan this code to verify your program membership and process your request to enter the lounge. 
Please be aware that not every lounge can be accessed with the Priority Pass Digital Membership Card at this time (we are working very hard to roll out digital acceptance of our app at all locations). For this reason we recommend that you carry your physical Priority Pass membership card whenever you travel, as a back-up. 

The vast majority of our 1,400++ lounges accept the Priority Pass Digital Membership Card (you can check this information on the lounge pages in our app and mobile website, which we try to keep as up-to-date as possible). To avoid disappointment, we recommend that you also carry your physical card with you when you travel.

You may need to register your Priority Pass membership in order to take advantage of all the benefits of membership. For more details, please see Why am I being asked to activate my account? I’ve already joined.

Your Digital Membership Card will need to be updated whenever your physical membership card is renewed or replaced and you will be prompted to do this whenever you next log into your account.

If you see a message when you are logged in to the app or website advising you that your Digital Membership Card is inactive there could be a number of reasons: 

• A new membership year has started and the card being displayed is still showing the previous membership year; please log out of the app and log back in again.

• Your membership has expired and renewal is necessary. Please contact Membership Services for support.

• There may be some outstanding payments that have not been received. In this case your membership has been suspended; please contact the Membership Services team for support.

There may be several reasons why this is happening, which include:

• There could be an outstanding payment for a lounge visit or another benefit which is pending against your membership; our Membership Services team can help you process that payment.

• If you have received Priority Pass as a benefit from a card issuer or another of our partners, then it could be possible (although unlikely) that your membership has expired – it’s best to contact them to make sure.

Access on payment cards is not available on all programs. On programs that do not offer payment cards as a means of access, you will need to use an alternative means of access. On programs where access on a payment card is enabled, this will automatically be activated when you create your online account or the first time you log in to your online account on the Priority Pass website.

Up-to-date details of lounges currently in our program can be found on our website or use the lounge search function within the Priority Pass app. 

We apologize for the inconvenience. Sometimes lounge operators will impose restrictions based on lounge capacity, to ensure that guests at the lounge have a pleasant experience.  Please be sure to check the lounge pages on the Priority Pass app or website, before choosing your lounge - any pre-defined limitations on availability and opening times will be detailed here and we do our very best to keep these details as current as possible.

If for any reason you are unable to get into a lounge, please be aware there could be other options available to you through your Priority Pass membership at the location where you are traveling. These options could include restaurants, bars or sleep pods and will be listed in the Priority Pass app or website.

As a Priority Pass Member you don't need to book your lounge visit - simply present your physical or digital card to the lounge staff on arrival. However, please be aware that membership of a Priority Pass program does not automatically guarantee you entry to a lounge, or guarantee access to any other offer from an airport or travel partner who is participating in the program.

To avoid disappointment, please check ahead before your visit to confirm the opening times and any restricted hours – we do our best to keep the information on our app and website as up-to-date as possible. 

Yes, you can invite friends and family to join you in a lounge. Most lounges will allow any number of guests – where a guest limit does apply you can find this within the lounge information pages on our app and website. If you are obtained membership directly from Priority Pass, your guest visits will be charged to your account at a fixed rate. If you have joined the program via a card issuer or another of our partners, then guest fees can vary – please contact your card issuer if you are unsure about these fees. Before you are allowed to enter the lounge you'll be asked to sign to confirm the number of guests, either on a digital screen or using a paper voucher system. Please ensure that the details are clear and correct before signing, as these details are used to process any applicable fees and it can be difficult to rectify errors at a later date. The applicable lounge visit fee for your guests will be charged directly to the nominated payment card linked to your membership. Please note that lounge staff will be unable to provide details about the fee that you will be charged, regardless of whether you joined Priority Pass directly or via a card issuer or other Priority Pass partner.

Many lounges will allow children to enter, charged at the same rate as an adult guest - some lounges will also allow children under a certain age to enter for free. For more details on age restrictions please check the lounge pages of our website or on our app.

You may be able to view a history of your lounge visits, depending on the type of program you belong to. If you do have access, please log in to My Account where you can view all of your visit history. Please note that at the moment, it is possible that your visit history may not have logged the most recent visits if they are still being processed by the lounge. We are hoping to enhance this service in the very near future.

It depends on the location of the lounge and the airport layout – the Priority Pass membership card won't allow you to pass through any airport security restrictions.

No – every lounge in the Priority Pass network is different and has different services and facilities. Please check the lounge page on our app or website to find out more about that lounge, opening times and the amenities on offer.

Some lounges offer supplementary facilities that have an extra charge (such as showers or day beds). Please check the lounge page of the website or app for more details.

Please log in and go to the Rate Lounges tab of your Account.

On the Priority Pass website, the indoor maps can be found on the Airport Guide pages. To find the maps on our app, press the ‘More’ button in the menu section. Once there, select the ‘Indoor Airport Maps’ option to see all the maps available.

There are currently 10 airport maps available: London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Moscow and Tokyo. New Maps will be added in the future updates.

On the app, the navigational buttons (such as ‘back’ or ‘directions’) will change depending on the language selected. However, the maps themselves are only available in English.

Absolutely. The maps include the locations of our Priority Pass lounges, departure gates, retailers and other amenities. It is also possible to map the route to your chosen destination – on the app, tap the ‘Directions’ button at the bottom of the screen and input your starting and final location. If you’re viewing a map on our website, you will need to expand the map before you can use the route function.

In the search bar above the map, type in the product you are looking for. The results will tell you if it’s available to purchase in that specific airport and where.

Biometric login can only be used for one account per device.

Firstly, you’ll need to make sure your phone supports biometric log in and that it’s already set up on your chosen device. Once this is done, log into the app and go to your ‘Account’ section. Here, you can opt to turn this feature both on and off.

Where available on your device, it is now possible to log into the app using your fingerprint and, for iPhone X users only, Face ID.

These guides are being tested in English to begin with. Translated versions will be made available if the guides are popular with Priority Pass customers.

We’re currently working on adding these guides to the Priority Pass app. Please check back soon.

We do our best to keep these guides as up-to-date and accurate as possible. However, we cannot guarantee that they fully reflect the current state of every airport, where changes can happen frequently and without notice. If you’d like to contribute, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at editor@prioritypass.com.

At present, there are guides for 84 major airports on our website, which we hope to add to in the future. To find out whether a guide for your airport is available, search for it (i.e. London Heathrow) using the search bar on our homepage. You can also search for it using the Lounge Search. If an airport has a guide available, it will be included in the lounge details page. If you are accessing the website on a mobile device, it will also appear directly in your search results.

If you have the Airport Takeout service on your Priority Pass app, please click on the link below to read the FAQs on this service: prioritypass.com/airport-takeout-faqs

When you book Priority Lane, you will receive a confirmation email that contains one attachment in PDF form. This PDF includes an e-pass for each adult, child or infant passenger in your party. Each e-pass has a barcode (or a square QR code). Even infants or children for whom there is no Priority Lane fee will have a barcode assigned to them. Instructions on how to use the codes are detailed on the e-pass.

Priority Lane services cannot be cancelled or amended once an e-pass has been issued, even if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

Priority Lane is an airport service where customers can use the priority Security Control or Passport / Immigration lanes that are usually reserved for premium class ticket holders or elite tier frequent flyers.

After logging in, simply search for an airport using the lounge search. If the airport has a Priority Lane service, it will appear on the left-hand side of the page. Click on this link and follow the instructions on screen. Depending on the airport, there will be either a Departure or an Arrival service available (or both). 

This depends on the airport and will be confirmed during the booking process. As a general rule, the later you leave a Priority Lane booking, the more likely it is that the service will not be available at the desired time. We advise that you book as much in advance as possible to avoid disappointment.

The Lounge Club program is being decommissioned and so American Express are upgrading their cardholders to the Priority Pass program.

After receiving an email from American Express, Priority Pass will shortly be sending you your welcome pack. We expect for this to take up to 3 weeks.

• your Web Pin / Validation Code (provided in your welcome pack)

Your unique Validation Code/Web Pin is provided in your Priority Pass welcome letter, found in the welcome pack. This 4-digit number is a one-time use code needed to create your online account and set up your username and password for future log ins. Please contact the Priority Pass Membership Services team if you have lost your validation code/web pin.

Your Digital Membership Card is your Priority Pass membership card in a digital format that can be accessed via Priority Pass website or mobile app. To access your Digital Membership Card, you first need to activate your Priority Pass account using your membership number and validation code. Follow the instructions on how to activate your account provided in the Priority Pass welcome pack letter. On the Priority Pass app, your Digital Membership Card can be found by clicking on the icon at the bottom of the app. If you are using an Apple phone or device, you can also add it to your Apple Wallet in the bottom left-hand corner of your Digital Membership Card. Once you have activated your membership, you can log in via the Priority Pass app or website where you can search for lounges and access your Digital Membership Card, providing contactless digital access to our lounges by simply showing your smartphone or device.

The Priority Pass Digital Membership Card allows you to access the vast majority of lounges participating in the program – all you need to do is display the QR code found in the app or the ‘My Account’ section of our mobile website. When you arrive at the lounge, simply open your Digital Membership Card on your device and flip the card over to display the QR code. The lounge staff will scan this code to verify your program membership and process your request to enter the lounge.

Please note your Lounge Club membership card will remain active until the date stated in your upgrade email from American Express. If you have not received your welcome pack within 3 weeks of receiving this email, please contact the Priority Pass Membership Services team who will help resolve this for you.

If your Priority Pass welcome pack including your membership card has not been delivered to your new address, contact your card provider or alternatively get in touch with the Priority Pass Membership Services team who will arrange for the pack to be sent to your new address.

To check which lounges are available to you, login to your Priority Pass account, via the app or website, and search for eligible lounges.

We recommend you use your Priority Pass membership card immediately upon receipt, however during the transition period, you will be able to use either your Lounge Club membership card or your Priority Pass membership card for lounge access. The end date of this transition period will be stated in the email you received from American Express informing you of the upgrade. After this date, only your Priority Pass membership card will be active.

Your Lounge Club membership card will be active until the expiry date stated in the upgrade email you receive from American Express. You will be able to use your Priority Pass membership card during this period as well. Your Priority Pass expiry date will be the same as your previous Lounge Club expiry date.

The date of your annual entitlements refresh will not change when your membership is upgraded from Lounge Club to Priority Pass. The ‘Card Valid From’ date on your Digital Membership Card will indicate when your annual entitlements will refresh, each year. If you require further information about your annual entitlements, the Priority Pass membership services team will be able to support you. Please see contact details below.

Your annual complimentary visit entitlement will not change. Any remaining visits from your Lounge Club membership will be rolled over to your Priority Pass membership.

No. Details on how to create your personal Priority Pass account will be sent to you in your Priority Pass welcome pack. You will need your membership number and validation code to activate your new account.

The Priority Pass membership card is non-transferable. When you access a lounge, the staff will need to check that the name printed on your membership card matches your boarding pass.

Lounge access is only available on presentation of a valid Priority Pass physical or digital membership card.

Please report your lost, stolen or damaged Priority Pass membership card immediately to our Membership Services team. Dependent on your membership status, our team may be able to provide you with a replacement membership card that will be dispatched within 3 business days (delivery times may vary). In some cases, our Membership Services team may need to refer your request for assistance to the card provider that has granted you access to Priority Pass. You will still be able to use your Digital Membership Card for lounge access.

You must be at least 18 years old to enrol as a Member of the Priority Pass program.

The Lounge Club program is being decommissioned, and all Lounge Club members are being moved to the premium Priority Pass program. If you do not wish to be a Priority Pass member, you can cancel the membership.

The expiry date and annual complimentary visit entitlement of your new Priority Pass membership remains the same as your Lounge Club membership. This means your membership renewal was due shortly after the Priority Pass upgrade and when the welcome pack was issued. Therefore, you have now received a renewal pack with an updated expiry date.
