For MUC, you can always walk over to Kempinski hotel. It doesn't sound like you have enough time for a day room, but you may want to enjoy the restaurant there or relax in a comfy chair in the lobby. Or I hear they have a nice day spa.

Thanks stimpy! Great suggestion. With 3+ hours between flights we will have time for a meal and perhaps a massage. The Kempinski day spa charges 18 Euros for 2 hrs which includes a towel and bathrobe, so at the very least can refresh and refuel.

We used the PP in Aruba last Monday. Nice selection of sandwiches and help yourself bar (wine was gallo though!). We didn't show our boarding passes and I asked the attendant if I could bring in food (when it was AA you could not) and she was fine with us getting Nathan's and bringing it in.

Quote from newsletter:
"Great news for Priority Pass members traveling from Terminal 1 at Frankfurt Main (FRA) the new LuxxLounge is now open.
Formerly operated as the American Airlines Admirals Club, this spacious lounge is located landside on the Gallery Level, in Departure Hall B/C. "

I've just joined PP as will be doing a lot of OS travel over the next 12 months.
Has anyone been to any of the 3 lounges at Rome FCO? would be interested in knowing which one is nicer after a 20 hour flight!

Lots of complains
http://travel.spotcoolstuff.com/airp...-pass#comments
and my own:
I signed up a few years ago and a couple of months later they lost access to the Delta lounges, which was the reason I joined in the first place. They refused to reimburse me when I complained about that.
Of course, I had not intention to renew the pass, but they had an "automated renewal clause" in their original contract. They billed me $399 and sent the card to a wrong address. I discovered "my membership" months later in my credit card bill and of course, they claim a 30 day return policy and would not give me my money back.
How can these people be honest and sleep at night knowing they took $400 by mistake from someone and granted no services at all? I think that shows what kind of service you can expect from this company....

My husband and I used PriorityPass on our trip last week; we have the pay-as-you-go version with the AE Surpass card. The lounge in PMI (Majorca), in particular, was a sanity-saver; our flight back to Valencia was 3 hours late and the lounge attendant was wonderful about keeping in touch with the airline and getting updates. Fortunately the flight was called for boarding before the lounge closed for the night!
For us, it's still a good option, especially as an inclusion in the Surpass card perks.

Delivery time
How long has it taken for the card to be delivered after you sign up? I'm in Italy with a 3-month/9-airport-visit starting on June 10th, and I'm wondering if I'd receive the card in time in case I decide to join...

That might be pushing it. I'd contact Customer Servuce at PriorityPass and ask them. You could also have someone check your mail and get the card to you when it arrives. I was in India when I first signed up and my husband sent it through some sort of priority mail because I wanted it for the trip back home. Shipping was expensive, but cheaper than a one-day lounge pass.

I just signed up for a free Priority Pass through AmEx Plat and am hoping to receive my card before my LAX-OGG in late June.
As I understand it, the card gives me access to the lounges for US Airways (T1), AC and AF (T2), AS (T3), CO (T6), and the Relax Lounge in the Int'l Terminal.
Two questions: is there one that is far superior to the others? Because I'm flying out of T7 on UA in F (yet still no RCC access) would I be able to access the lounges not in my terminal? Sorry, not that familiar with how security works. Thanks!

That's what I was fearing. My packages from the US usually take about a month to arrive, and those from Europe about two weeks.
