Not sure if this is the right place to ask but do I need to be flying the airline whose lounge I'm using or will any valid boarding pass from that day work?
You don't need to show a BP with Priority Pass. I joined PP early on. My lady and I both had road jobs, and neither had status. That said, PP lounge coverage in the USA is spotty. Overseas, much better. IAD-HNL-Guam-Truk there was always a lounge near my gate. IAD-Istanbul, no luck at all.
If you can predict your travel, you can search the PP web site for lounges without being a member. Then decide if you can use it.
If you fly odd routes, a 12-hour layover on a leather couch instead of a plastic chair will pay for PP in one go. If like me, you fly to the back of beyond, a clean restroom in a 3rd-world airport is a luxury without price.
