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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Priority Pass welcome pack will include your new membership card and will be dispatched when your benefit has been transferred from Lounge Club to Priority Pass.

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.

After this date, only your Priority Pass membership card will be active.
