MilesBuzz! - Airline Lounge Membership Priority Pass: Freddie Awards Special !

Just found it yesterday when I voted for the Freddies:

Several discounts when joining Priority Pass

Basic Membership (each visit 15 GBP extra) 55 GBP
Mid-Size Membership (10 visits free, after that 15 GBP) 155 GBP
Premium Membership (unlimited visits) 233 GBP / 324 USD.

Considering what the airlines charge you these days for ONE club alone (AA 350 USD for EXP) I found it worthwile to look at it.

Priority Pass has some good partnerships including most CO/NW clubs and also my beloved FRA AC.

The offer goes until May IIRC so I will take some time to think about it.

Cheers,
Seb.

These rates don't look all that much discounted from what they normally sell their membership at. :confused:

True, 10% off...

However I found it remarkable that at least in my case it would make sense, considering how low the GBP is right now and how much access you get with PP nowadays ^

I always looked down on that programm but right now it looks really appealing to me !

The $324 for unlimited visits makes some sense...I've never understood the value of the basic level because you can end up getting up to the $300 level quickly. I have PC membership for $300 right now and with a few short trips I have been in at least 8 times and with guests twice. The Priority pass would start adding up quickly and I"m unclear if you can bring in guests for those prices either.

Last year's Freddie PP discount is better (15 months for the price of 12 with a 15% discount on top of that), and still available.

That looks excellent to me !

I might consider that the next days... Why throwing 350 USD for a single Club in AA throat when I can get more clubs for 50$ less.

It says guests have to pay though :o

Indeed. PP is good for those who travel alone. If one usually travels with family or other traveling companions, it is less ideal.

At least for the BNA DL Club, the PP pass site says: "Conditions: Spouse and children under 21 years of age, or up to two (2) business associates can enter a Delta Crown Room Club with the cardholder - Cardholder must be 21 years of age or older."

It says they can enter with the cardholder...doesn't say they can enter free of charge. I suspect this is a limit on number/type of guests.

I saw that in a lot of the clubs, but does that mean up to two PAYING business associates? That's what I thought it meant. Can anyone confirm?

I believe that PP will charge you for any guests that are reported to them.

Does PP provide free internet access or do you end up having to use typical airport wireless even within the clubs (Boingo, etc.)?

I haven't been a PP user for about 4 years, but when I was it was not given as a right, though I found many lounges to extend it anyway. This was more the case in Europe than the Americas.

Indeed. These are the rules of the airline to prevent one PP cardholder inviting loads of guests. All guests are charged to the cardholder. The number is noted upon entry and charged to a nominated Credit Card at a later date along with the members entry fee if it is not included.

Then it's funny that they limit the number of guests if you're just going to get charged by the head.

CO and NW provide free internet in their clubs. DL/UA/US/AA charge in theirs, though most have extended free access to their members but not folks entering on AmEx, PP or other guest methods.

The per guest charge is significantly less expensive than buying a day pass.

Its to avoid overcrowding and protect their own lounge members / elites.

You'd be pretty upset if you couldn't get in because a PP member had come with 101 guests!

That looks excellent to me !

Maybe I missed it, but PP doesnt have a lounge in T4 at lax?

No it doesnt. But I use the Admirals Club only in FRA (independent from flying with AA) and domestically I fly UA as I need miles for LH SEN this year.
