<<airport access for chairman Card is provided by Priority Pass So you dont get access to some airlines lounges (CO, NW, DL) like you do with American Express Plat but this 3rd party company runs there own clubs in a lot of major airports. This is the same program they give you if you have the Diners Club Card which costs $95 a year.>>

Diners Club, in the USA, does not include Priority Pass. The Diners Club lounge network is smaller. In particular, it includes only two US airports (Miami and Newark), while Priority Pass advertises locations at over 50 US airports.
