Using Priority Pass without traveling
I have AMEX Platinum card and received the Priority Pass Select card. I am going for my interview at LAX today. Can I use the "Relax Lounge" at Thomas Bradley Terminal without having an airline ticket? Do I just show the Priority Select Pass ? Do i need to bring my AMEX Platinum card too?
Thanks
Thanks

[In the aa forum, people who have business to transact at the Admirals Club (which is generally after TSA controls), can get a "pass" with 24 hours notice.]

You do not need your Platinum Card to use your Priority Pass membership. The lounge staff has no knowledge of, nor interest in, how you obtained your Priority Pass membership, or how you will be billed for the visit. They merely record your entry and if you were accompanied by any guests.
The admission policy (with or without ticket) is established by the lounge, not by Priority Pass.

reLAX is open to all travelers regardless of airline or class of.service.. We also welcome the non-travelers. reLAX is a good place to.wait and relax.while you wait for your flight or love ones to arrive into the airport.

You're not required to show a boarding pass when using Priority Pass. Sometimes the lounge will ask for it anyway but you can always say you don't have one or you haven't checked in yet and I've never had a problem.

Thanks, mia. I wouldn't have known about this lounge without you and FT.
Now if only I could find a PP lounge landside at LHR ...

Does the Continental President Club lounge in IAH allow Priority Pass Select entrance without a ticket? I am flying into IAH from LAX and need to wait for my ride. I was thinking of waiting in the lounge if I can get access...
