prioritypass in paris cdg with air india ticket
is it possible to use priority pass with any airline you're flying? My wife is travelling air india and has a 12 hour lay over tomorrow .. I'm considering getting her a PP.
Also does she physically need the PP or a printout saying she's a member is enough?

Some priority pass clubs wont even look at a boarding pass at all. But a card is necessary. There must also be a PP lounge in the terminal she is flying from that is open at that time.

12 hours are better spent in a hotel rather than a dull 3rd party airport lounge. I would suggest looking up the Hilton CDG as they offer a rather attractive room rate for daytime use.

You need to go to the information booth in Terminal 1 and show them your boarding pass and PP card and they will give you a card you can use to get through security.
It's a fairly painless (if long) process that I did once only because I had a few hours to kill and nothing better to do. I seriously doubt you could do it without the physical PP card.

I was just in the PP lounge in T1. It's pleasant but not spectacular. Food was better in the *A lounge one floor up, but at the *A lounge you have to go down (and later up) a flight of stairs after you enter the club, meaning that for a larger rollaboard, you will most likely have to leave it in an unguarded room which the club disavows responsibility for. So overall, I prefer the PP lounge.
