  As far as lounge access is concerned, is there a current free or cheap way to join DragonPass?

  • Steven says:

    Pretty sure you get free Dragon Pass membership with Club Avolta (formerly known as as Red by Dufry).

    You would then pay for Lounge access on a pay as you go basis.

      I was wondering what that Avolta thing was – I deleted the app recently as I had no idea what it was!

      Same for the paid version too. Missed the memo on the price rise!

  I have Dragon Pass Premier + with my NatWest Black account.

  I have DragonPass+ via NatWest Black but can’t see any mention of Fast Track in the app.

  • Sharon says:

    3 Nov3 November 08:29

    Should have said Premier+

      If you have the Natwest Premier Rewards Black CC, you get Fast Track anyway through Mastercard Travel Experiences. You just need to download the app and register your Black CC card number.

        oh didn’t know this! I just went and checked on the Black CC website but couldn’t find any mention of this. Will it just work if I apply for the card and then register it, or has it been discontinued do you think?

  • Gordon says:

  If I’m not mistaken I’m pretty sure that photo of Fast Track is T5 LHR?

  • daveinitalia says:

    It is. The north security entrance. You can pay to use it but as it’s Heathrow it’s not cheap (well it’s £12.50 which is cheaper than I thought it was)

    You can book here https://www.heathrow.com/at-the-airport/airport-services/fast-track

    It is, but it’s the best Fast Track picture in our library! Oddly copyright free photos of these things are rare.

      I’ll get a photo from MAD fast track next month for you Rob. I’ll send it to Rhys.

  Fast track at MAD is worth is weight in Gold

  • daveinitalia says:

    Anyone with an Amex Platinum should be able to use fast track for free in MAD. Last time I was there Amex had sponsored the fast track area

      It’s meant for Spanish issued cards though, whether they check that closely though I’d doubt, they’re quite easy going at Fast Track Madrid.

  Has anyone been able to use their free Dragon Pass via the Barclays Avios Account when not travelling with the main account holder?

  Scenario: We have a joint Avios Premier Account, my husband is the first named on the account and he holds the free dragon passes on his app, I’m travelling separately this week but I don’t have them listed on mine? Anyone know what to do in this situation.

    Would logging into your app using his credentials work? I’m not advocating cheating the system and pretending to be him (which may not work anyway if there’s a name check), but wondering if it will give you access to “your” passes.
