Lounge access with the Amex Gold Card
Relax in an airport lounge and enjoy the waiting time instead of sitting in the crowd at the gate with the Gold Card from American Express. Lounge access at numerous airports worldwide is just one of your many benefits.
With the Amex Gold Card in the airport lounge
Sip a coffee in peace and quiet at the airport while reading, enjoy a tasty meal before your flight, or use the waiting time for productive work: It’s particularly pleasant in a comfortable lounge. A large selection of food and drinks is available as well as international reading material. And you can often even take a shower or rest in a sleeping cabin.
American Express makes it easier for you to relax: With the Gold Card you get free Priority Pass membership and can access more than 1,700 participating airport lounges worldwide. It doesn’t matter which airline you are flying with or which class you have booked.

This makes the American Express Gold Card particularly suitable for people who fly occasionally and want extra convenience. Important: Priority Pass is only available for holders of the principal card. It is not included for holders of additional Gold Cards.
