These companies don&#8217;t operate flights but provide lounge access for anyone willing to pay. Therefore, the quality of these lounges can differ enormously as they may not be as motivated to keep customers loyal to their brand.

The lounges vary largely in quality, but I&#8217;d put the value of each visit I&#8217;ve had on average at around $15 to $25 per visit.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s look at the value of a paid membership based on a few different personal circumstances.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Five visits per year:<\/strong> You would pay $175 ($35 per visit) for the five visits and then $99 for your Standard membership yearly fee of $274. I don&#8217;t consider the membership worth anywhere near $275 for five visits. You could spend that money instead on food and drinks at the airport on each visit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ten visits per year:<\/strong> You would pay $329 for the Standard Plus membership with your 10 visits free. At about $33 per visit, it likely wouldn&#8217;t make sense to invest in a Standard Plus membership, as it&#8217;s outside the range of where I would value each lounge visit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Twenty visits per year:<\/strong> A Prestige membership would give you all 20 visits for $469. Each visit would cost around $20, which is about where I value the visits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More than 30 visits per year:<\/strong> This is where a Prestige membership becomes worth it. Each of your 30 visits would cost you less than $16, as all visits would be included in the yearly fee. I can easily get $16 worth from each visit. If you have the same guest traveling with you each time, it would make sense for them to have their Prestige membership rather than paying $35 as your guest each time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/airport-lounge-access\/\">receive access through your credit card<\/a>, factor this into the annual fee. If you visit a lounge 10 times per year and allocate $20 per visit, then you could consider that you obtain $200 of value from the credit card perk each year.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-4252866712 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-36530878 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.6875%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2023\/05\/20230518_London-Lounges_CHenderson_142.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-4252866712 figcaption\">CLINT HENDERSON\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are some other factors to consider when estimating the value of Priority Pass lounge visits.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, you are <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/2017\/02\/priority-pass-denying-entry\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not guaranteed access to a lounge.<\/a> Nowadays, many travelers have lounge access, and the lounges sometimes reach capacity. In fact, some lounges are only available to Priority Pass members during select hours. Be sure to check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prioritypass.com\/en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Priority Pass website<\/a> before your next trip for available locations and their hours \u2014 and don&#8217;t be shocked if some lounges are temporarily at capacity during peak times.<\/p>\n<p>If you are worried about a lounge being at capacity, some will allow you to pre-book a space online for a small fee of less than $10 per person. If offered, this would be through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plazapremiumlounge.com\/en-uk\">lounge&#8217;s own website<\/a>, not the general Priority Pass website.<\/p>\n<p>Also, consider how much time you will likely spend in each lounge. If you&#8217;re booking 6 a.m. flights, you&#8217;re unlikely to want to wake up early to get a free coffee and croissant. Similarly, if you&#8217;re rushing from work to make a 6:30 p.m. flight and won&#8217;t have time to enjoy a lounge, you will likely not be getting your $20 value from each visit.<\/p>\n<p>You will generally obtain the value when you can spend at least an hour in the lounge (perhaps because of a long connection) and can consume a decent amount of complimentary food and drinks.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bottom-line\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Unless you travel extremely regularly, you will not likely obtain $469 worth of lounge access from a Priority Pass Prestige membership. If this comes as one of the many <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/credit-cards\/airport-lounge-access\">perks of a premium credit card<\/a>, you won&#8217;t need to travel as regularly to get your money&#8217;s worth.<\/p>\n<p>Set your expectations accordingly. Most Priority Pass lounges <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/reviews\/the-club-at-atl\/\">aren&#8217;t as glamorous as you might expect<\/a>, and you may have trouble gaining access or finding a seat, given how many people are traveling right now.<\/p>\n<p>Try and estimate how many visits you will make each year and how long you will spend there to decide if paying for a membership or applying for a premium credit card is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Say you&#8217;re considering the value of a Priority Pass membership as part of paying the annual fee for a credit card that includes this benefit or thinking of purchasing a membership outright.
