Basically put, it gets you into various airport lounges of different carriers (partners) at different places. Some of these are arrival lounges as well as departure lounges and concourse lounges.

Your level of travel will determine which level you buy access to.
99 a year for basic membership and 24 dollars every visit to a lounge.
249 a year for ten passes a year and 24 dollars every visit after that.
399 a year for unlimited visits.

One interesting feature is that you can get a guest in with you.. for another 24 dollars.

It's a decent deal that I've been considering for a while. Granted, not all access to all lounges will occur, and some lounges may not be conveniently located. The 249 deal level is probably the best for most folks.

Consider that if you fly roundtrip from the US to europe you may have as many as 4 opportunities to use the Pass (departure/arrival in both directions).

With the 99 dollar membership you've actually paid 195 dollars. 3 more visits at any point the rest of your travelling year and you've now exceeded what it would cost to get a full year and ten free passes.

If you bought the 249 level you would still have 3 visits left at no cost (And effectively would have paid for itself by not having any visit fees).

But consider this carefully. If you're going to be in lounges for an hour or two at a time is it worth the cost?

BTW, there is another way to get Priority Pass for free. American Express offers it for some of their cards and other cards do as well, usually Platinum level cards. It may be worth checking with your Visa/MasterCard to see if an upgrade to a platinum card will get you the Priority Pass and whether the yearly card fee is worth the difference in price. .
