Priority Pass adds 150 lounges and offering 10% discount

Today, Priority Pass, the largest global airport lounge programme, has announced it will add over 150 new airport lounges across the world in 2021. Alongside 100 new premium dining and relaxation experiences and railway and sea port lounges, this represents 20% growth for the network. This announcement comes at the same time that evidence mounts that travel is set to return, with encouraging growth in domestic travel in the US, China and Russia, as well as recent announcements such as the EU saying that vaccinated travellers will be welcomed without restrictions. But the needs of travellers have also changed – with premium experiences more in demand than ever. They will have a network growing to include over 1,500 lounges and premium experiences.

Priority Pass has already added 32 new airport lounges this year – including Lufthansa Business lounges in New York Airport (JFK), Newark International Airport (EWR) and Washington Dulles Airport (IAD), and 14 lounges in China alone. Other new lounges have been added in locations important to Priority Pass Members such as Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and India. Priority Pass has also added 8 new premium dining experiences.

The Priority Pass network is a mix of partnerships as well as lounges owned by its sister company, Airport Dimensions, both owned by Collinson Group. Airport Dimensions has continued opening new lounges and sleep and rest experiences during the pandemic and is positioned to achieve a 483% growth in locations since 2015. Last week, Airport Dimensions announced new lounges at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, due to open later this year. These add to previously announced lounges under development in the new Harvey Milk Terminal at San Francisco International Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport, all of which will be included in the Priority Pass network.

The company created a new set of global health and safety standards for lounges in the Priority Pass network, and launched contactless digital airport lounge entrance for all guests. In addition, Priority Pass launched its ‘Ready to Order’ tech solution, available to all lounge partners, allowing guests to enjoy their food and beverages with maximum social distancing.
