Priority Pass is a membership program offering privileged access to over 1,700 airport lounges<\/a> worldwide. Designed for frequent travellers, it enables them to enjoy comfortable spaces away from the hustle and bustle of airport terminals, regardless of their ticket or airline.<\/p>\n

Depending on the level of membership chosen – Standard, Standard Plus or Prestige – access to the lounges can be free or at a reduced price. These lounges offer a range of services: Wi-Fi, drinks, meals, showers, rest areas and work spaces.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_message css=””]<\/p>\n

Priority Pass is used exclusively online, either via a mobile application or on the dedicated website. Members can use it to locate partner lounges and easily manage their membership.<\/p>\n
