What Priority Pass Lounges Can I Prebook In The UK?
If you have a Priority Pass and tried to use it in the UK (particularly in London) the chances are you will struggle to gain access to any Airport Lounge in the scheme, particularly at peak times. To combat this Priority Pass has a range of lounges in the UK that you can prebook to guarantee access from £6pp. Alternatively, you can chance your luck on the door…

Do you prebook your Priority Pass Lounge access?
Whilst it’s beneficial to guarantee lounge access if you frequently find you can’t access one I can’t help to think something strange is going on here with lounge access and Priority Pass. Many years ago you were only turned away if the lounge was genuinely full however in recent times many lounges have virtual queues or say they aren’t accepting Priority Pass despite being nowhere near full. It’s almost as if they want to minimise your time in the lounge (and thus food/drink consumed) unless you cough up some extra cash. What do you think?
