To start or end a trip on a high note, nothing beats the joy of lounging quietly in an airport lounge, with unlimited food and drinks!
Please note that it is always a good idea to check the conditions of access before travelling, as they can change without notice.
In addition, even with the required access, entry may be denied because the lounge is full or because it favors certain types of passengers.
Different airport lounge networks may or may not provide access to certain lounges, depending on their agreements. The largest networks that provide access to airport lounges with credit cards are:
Mastercard offers free membership to the DragonPass network to World and World Elite credit card holders. However, you have to pay for each access.
When all the free passes are used, the cardholder can still enter the lounges by paying $32USD per entry.
Before the trip, it is mandatory to register on the Mastercard Travel Pass website.
