I think this is dictated by the individual lounge policy and not Priority Pass policy. You should probably call/e-mail the lounge in question and ask.

Not in my experience. In EDI I've had to leave to check flight status and in others, not equipped with restrooms, I've had to leave for that reason. I always catch the eye of the front desk person, tell them "I'll be back" and have never had a problem on return. YMMV.

I'm definately going with the unlimited option next year instead of a worldclub membership. Now that PP basically has access to all the domestic Skyteam lounges. Now I have to see if I can get a discount rate when I upgrade my membership to unlimited 
Are there any good sites that show the differences between PP and some of the airline club cards?

What do you think of Priority Pass lounge access program? [merged]
I was on the OAG site today and came across a service called Priority Pass
it appears that for $99 per year (plus $25 per visit) I can stay in A LOT of airline clubs. Has anyone used this service? Seems a lot more affordable than plunking down $400 a year when I only travel 15 times per year. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!

My humble opinion: Priority Pass is a great add on with airline memberships and airline status, as a means of completing a strategy of full access to lounges. However, Priority Pass alone is not the end all for airline club memberships. Many airlines that provide Priority Pass access domestically, do not allow access to clubs at their hubs. However, as an add-on, Priority Pass is extremely helpful. For instance, I recently flew a few times through Milan. The Alitalia lounge that I could use with my biz class ticket and Plat Elite status was hopelessly overrun. However, Milan airport operated a lounge steps from the gates of my departing flights that I could access only with Priority Pass. PP came through in a way my biz ticket and PE status could not match.
