Say goodbye to airport stress thanks to Priority Pass
Relax in peace and quiet before your long-haul flight to Tokyo or prepare for a focused meeting at the airport before your business trip to London: With Priority Pass, you can leave the hustle and bustle of the terminal behind you and relax in numerous comfortable airport lounges. Membership gives you access to the lounges, whichever airline and class you have booked.
Instead of spending time in the noisy waiting areas, make yourself at home in the comfortable lounges and enjoy numerous benefits. Many lounges offer food and drink, have separate work areas, showers, sleeping cabins and more. This allows you to pass the time during a layover and keep an eye on your aircraft at all times thanks to the monitor.
Access to Priority Pass lounges with American Express credit cards
Priority Pass is available in three versions: Standard, Standard Plus and Prestige. The levels differ in terms of how many lounge visits per year are discounted or free of charge.
Membership is particularly worthwhile for American Express customers: With the Gold Card and Platinum Card, they receive the Priority Pass free of charge and have access to more than 1,700 lounges and experiences at over 500 airports in more than 130 countries worldwide.
