If you belong to any of these club lounges be ready for some company! Priority Pass is marketing to travelers all these lounges as a package! Two ways to join. You either pay $21 per visit (full rights for a fee of $79) or $225 per year unlimited visits! Guests under either plan are $21.

The code is INF0002C. Phone # is 800-352-2863 (US/MES/CANADA), elsewhere 972-380-8808. e-mail [email protected] or www.prioritypass.com

That should be enough to join or to start complaining. I am sure glad AA and UA are not part of this legal, but cheapening event.

My opinions are just mine. No hate mail please! Information is power.

Good info. The lounges are getting crowded as it is without this. I see NW is party to it, what about CO?

Is this actually new or just marketing what they already have? i.e. does the 'new' deal get you in to the DL lounges at ATL, CVG and SLC that the 'current' deal doesn't give access to?

Priortity pass already gives access to most DL, US and TW lounges, etc. Both of the cost plans you mention have been available for some time.

Without DL including the lounges in ATL (except the E Concourse lounge), CVG, and SLC, I'm not too worried about this ... without those it is not a viable alternative to a regular CRC membership for DL frequent flyers.

Just got the mailing from Priority Pass, but agree with Beckles. If the hub CRC's aren't included, I'll keep my CRC card.

jfk isn't part of it either. that's the only one that impacts me as a dl gold. and it does sound like their normal package. but since i'm nw gold, and will be us gold after the double miles promo, this suits me just fine!!

As a lifetime CRC member, I wonder only if there's going to be reciprocity. I don't often use airports where there's no CRC, but it would be nice to have access to a lounge in the few instances where I don't have a CRC (eg: in Budapest last week, where there was a Priority lounge and the Malev lounge was very small.)

Why would priority pass reciprocate this offer? They want you, the customer, to buy their shiny black card. To make it worth your while, they are buying lounge access from Delta, US, NW, etc. so you have somewhere to sit.

This is not a benefit in the same way that alliance partners share abnd reciprocate lounge access.
