Many lounges turn down priority pass customers. They'll just tell us "We aren't accepting Priority Pass customers right now" and priority pass won't do anything about it.

The airline Lounges won't accept pp customers during busy hours. What card to get depends on your home airport. Sapphire Lounge will always accept Sapphire customers. Amx card members can always go to Centurion lounge. there are also pp run lounges as well.

When flying to Asia (BKK via TYO) I usually have the "coin flip" decision of SFO or LAX. Since neither have Priority Pass or Plaza Premium lounges, the development of a The Club at SFO makes that decision easier when we're not flying PE or higher in JAL or J on other airlines. Thanks for the heads up!

Using Priority Pass in Africa and Southeast Asia has been awesome. Trying to use it in the United States or Europe however... has been mixed results. I recall landing in Amsterdam, making my way directly to the nearest PP lounge only to be put in a queue of 171 (yep, one hundred and seventy one!) people who were also waiting to use their Priority Pass membership at this lounge. I had a 5-hour layover, and the queue was still not done by the time I boarded my flight. So yeah, definitely can see Priority Pass getting a nerf in the future dependent on the location.

I'm a dual citizen with the US and UK. I currently have a UK version of the Platinum card, but I also have my other Chase cards and whatnot. What I found to be weird is that Amex UK didn't issue me a Priority Pass Select Membership. Instead, they sent me the traditional black priority pass. I don't get restaurants, but I get everything else, and I'm allowed guests. I mainly keep the UK version for credit history and also the centurion/delta lounge access since it's different in terms. For example, I can bring 2 guest to centurion lounge with out the spending requirement or the need to pay per person.

Speaking from an SFO perspective, all I can say is Yankee Pier, Giant’s Clubhouse, Lark Creek, and Mustard’s are going to turn into ghost towns. The average non-PP passenger would have to be out of their mind to pay “list price” for the quality of food served. My usual breakfast at these places (all run by the same airport vendor, BTW) was Sysco eggs and frozen potato cubes which rang up to very near the $28 benefit. I would have paid about $12 in “real life” had I not used PP. It’s truly “bar food” quality. I believe the whole business model was to make just a few bucks from PP for each visit (but huge volume) while also opportunistically skimming off whatever they could from the few “full price” customers that were willing to pay the 1000% profit margins from the menu prices (much lower volume).

Lounges are only useful if it's nearby. The Centurion lounge at JFK is nice when 1. it's not crowded and 2. if your terminal is the same or nearby. Having to go through security twice at different terminals (even with TSA Pre-Check and Clear) can still be quite time-consuming and not worth the crowds (or in my case, the same dang chicken!). I loved the American lounge at JFK as there were showers, so that was helpful when I had a good layover, ran into NYC (hot day), came back, showered before an overnight flight to Europe.

My mum has the middle-tier priority pass and I had the lower-tier (I was paying $49 instead of $99). She uses hers for restaurants mostly as I added her to my Venture X, so she has two passes. I still have my regular one through this summer (I wanted to make sure I was going to keep the cc before I got rid of priority since I wasn't paying full price on the annual). I wouldn't use the lower tier on restaurants as that doesn't mathematically make sense.

⛵Best PP lounge (Sapphires excluded) is the Turkish lounge at IAD. Though, I heard good things about Plaza Premiums in the UK. I wonder if card issuers are considering tiers of cards that only have 10 or 20 swipes per year. Or... is the delta between buying 20 visits and unlimited negligible? I wish I was privy to Collinson's deals with Amex, Chase, etc.

As someone who lives in & flies out of Miami (MIA), this is a bummer. I really hope we get a Chase Sapphire Lounge in the near future! The Priority Pass credit towards a visit at Corona Beach House has been a savior on our travels many times, especially when the Turkish Airlines Lounge is either at capacity or completely out of the way for the terminal we’re flying out of. Miami should’ve been one of the first locations for a Chase Sapphire Lounge with how busy the Centurion Lounge gets but I digress. Side note: I flew into LAX for the first time last week & saw that LAX has little-to-no Priority Pass options??? Crazy for how large & busy that airport is!

I believe so since you can have multiple Priority Pass accounts from different credit cards. I know I had 2 Priority Pass accounts when I had both the CSR and C1VX when I did a product change to CSP. To be safe, I would bring both physical cards with you so you know which one to flash depending upon your visit needs. But, you can totally have more than one Priority Pass account. I'll probably have 2 later this year (C1VX and C1 Business VX), and then maybe a 3rd if they don't shut down product changes to Ritz next year.

I'm not quite sure why the Sapphire Reserve is called out ahead of the Amex Platinum as the card to get for lounges. There are finally a few Sapphire lounges but there are many more Centurion lounges. If we use the logic in the video, it makes more sense to hold the platinum because you have unlimited access to centurion and you get 1 Sapphire visit. The othe way around, you get no centurion visits

how does the altitude reserve work on chase lounges (is guest allowed for the one time i can get in) and am i allowed to bring in more than 1 guest for PP restaurants? Any datapoints for how the guest passes work in these situations?

On my last trip I had the wake up call on Business lounges. Pretty much all lounges in the US and Europe are second or third class. I visited the Business lounge in Hamad International Airport in Doha. The lounge one of the two business (there is a first lounge) easily sat 400 people there where multiple food and bar stations as well as a menu. Gym, Dior facial spa, a LV lounge in the lounge, meditation rooms, massage rooms shower rooms, sleep area, spa area, and more. It was larger than most US airports.

I’ve had the Amex Platinum for 10 years and have never used Priority Pass (I did sign up for it, just never got to use it). The PHL Centurion Lounge is always packed and the Minute Suites is always full.

@@hilamadventures4060 #SwissportORD Internationally, the Priority Pass lounges are definitely a step above those stateside. But, with C1VX the Plaza Premium lounges are even better than the priority pass lounges. In fact, the C1 lounges are in the Plaza Premium network. Frankly, Priority Pass is lucky Chase is doing so much investment in lounges and applying those to Priority Pass rather than Plaza Premium. I'm thinking Chase specifically didn't want C1 access associated with their lounges with those being in the same network.

Chicago's airport has a great restaurant in it that was covered by Priority Pass. I sucked to see that credit go away.

I got Priority Pass Select membership (4 free visits per year) from my U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Credit Card. If I no longer have the credit card (downgrade or simply close account after 1 year), will I still be able to use my Priority Pass, which is still valid until early 2025 for free lounge visits that I haven't used?

No but they are getting rid of the AF in the fall so it will be free to keep.

I guess you're not familiar with the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Priority Pass benefits, since you didn't mention that card?

Priority pass has too many limits in my experience. Just works during certain hours or with limited guest or lounges
