    This was announced quite a few months ago, and I recall Rob commenting at the time that it was unlikely to apply to the UK.

    Something had to be done. The crowding is madness with parties entering together on one card.

    It was announced back in 2021 I think, to give people time to hit the spend target for 2022.

    Worth noting that some US Priority Pass cards come with unlimited guests. I was on a group trip in Spain once and about 10 of us got into the Palma lounge on one US pass!
