Please include your name and Priority Pass membership number. If your suggestion relates to a lounge visit, please also include the name of the relevant lounge and airport, and the date and time of your visit.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 at the airport and need immediate assistance, please call the Membership Services team on one of our 24/7 numbers (English support only).
