Save 40% on a Priority Pass airport lounge membership

Priority Pass has launched its annual Black Friday offer early. This is usually the best deal you will see all year for Priority Pass. Details are here.

Priority Pass is a global airport lounge programme which allows you to access 1,600 lounge and airport experiences, such as restaurants and sleep pods, across the world, irrespective of your airline status or ticket type.

You can save 40% on Priority Pass Standard memberships and 25% on Standard Plus memberships when you purchase by 8th December.

If you have some upcoming trips and don’t currently have a Priority Pass or lounge access then now may be a good time to try it.

Here is the special pricing:

• you pay £41 (normally £69) to join the ‘pay as you go’ Standard plan – you will be charged £24 per lounge visit
• you pay £171 (normally £229) for the ’10 visits included’ Standard Plus plan, with guests or additional visits costing £24
• you pay £377 (normally £419) for the ‘unlimited visits’ Prestige plan, with guests costing £24

Which Priority Pass membership plan is best?

The Standard Plus membership is the most attractive option for most people.   As long as you hit 10 visits within your membership year, you will only be paying £17.10 each time under this offer.  Compare this to the cost of a light meal and a glass of wine in the terminal and it looks good value.

Standard membership is only attractive if you plan to make a few visits.  If you made six or more lounge visits per year you would be better off with Standard Plus, which is £171 under this promotion, compared to paying £41 plus £24 per visit for the Standard plan.

You can buy on this special Black Friday page of the Priority Pass website.

The offer runs to 8th December.

How to get FREE airport lounge access via UK credit cards (July 2025)

Here are the six options to get FREE airport lounge access via a UK credit card.

Your best value option (but no points):

The cheapest route to a Priority Pass airport lounge card is via the Lloyds Bank World Elite Mastercard.

The credit card has a fee of £15 per month, and comes with a Priority Pass which gives unlimited free access for the cardholder. If you add a free supplementary cardholder, they will also receive unlimited free access.

Unlike the version of Priority Pass you receive with American Express, the Lloyds Bank version also lets you access £18 airport restaurant credits.

Even better, the credit card has 0% FX fees and comes with 0.5% cashback. Full details are in my Lloyds Bank World Elite Mastercard review.

Lounge access via American Express cards:

The Platinum Card from American Express comes with two free Priority Pass cards, one for you and one for a supplementary cardholder. Each card admits two so a family of four gets in free. You get access to all 1,500 lounges in the Priority Pass network – search it here.

You also get access to Eurostar, Lufthansa and Delta Air Lines lounges.  Our in-depth review of The Platinum Card from American Express is here.

You can apply here.

The American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card is FREE for the first year. It comes with a Priority Pass card loaded with four free visits to any Priority Pass lounge – see the list here.

Additional lounge visits are charged at £24.  You get four more free visits for every year you keep the card.  

There is no annual fee for Amex Gold in Year 1 and you get a 20,000 points sign-up bonus.  Full details are in our American Express Preferred Rewards Gold Credit Card review here.

Lounge access via HSBC Premier credit cards (Premier account holders only):

HSBC Premier World Elite Mastercard gets you get a free Priority Pass card, allowing you access to the Priority Pass network.  Guests are charged at £24 although it may be cheaper to pay £60 for a supplementary credit card for your partner.

The card has a fee of £290 and there are strict financial requirements to become a HSBC Premier customer.  Full details are in my HSBC Premier World Elite Mastercard review.

Got a small business?

If you have a small business, consider The American Express Business Platinum Card which has the same lounge benefits as the personal Platinum card:

You should also consider the Capital on Tap Pro Visa credit card which has a lower fee and, as well as a Priority Pass for airport lounge access, also comes with Radison Rewards VIP hotel status:
