Yes, but PriorityPass charges U$24 per visit on the pay-as-you-go plan, and U$24 per guest per visit on any plan.

It's all trickery with numbers anyway (except when they actually get the money from an external source):

Want to justify closing lounges? Cost each visit out at $5 and they don't pay for themselves.

Want to justify raising the RCC membership fee? Cost each visit out at $25 and claim flyers aren't paying enough.

And Priority pass is in business to make money, as is UA (whomever) on lounge acess.

I'd be shocked if the markup from UA to PP is less than 500%, and PP to the enduser is less than 500%.
