The Perks Of Having A Priority Pass Prove It's The Only Way To Fly

by Ciara Johnson

Raise your hand if you look forward to going to the airport! I can't imagine that your hand is in the air right now, because let's be real: The airport isn't the most exciting place in the world. In fact, getting through the airport just might be the most stressful aspect of travel. The crowds can be overwhelming, the long lines can make you want to throw your hands up in the air, and the food prices will make you go broke real quick. That's why the perks of having a Priority Pass prove it's the only way to get through an airport. Let's just say, it will change the way you feel about airports forever.

Airport woes can make even the most experienced travelers sigh with frustration. Whether you travel often for work or leisure, a Priority Pass makes the airport experience much more pleasant. According to the Priority Pass website, the pass grants you access to more than 1,200 lounges in 143 countries around the world. You can almost bet that any major airport you're in will have a lounge for you to visit when you have the Priority Pass.

These lounges are much more than a place for you to crash before your flight. Many offer food, beverages, Wi-Fi, open space, spa treatments, and so much more. You can read more about the incredible membership benefits and accompanying prices by visiting their website. Basically, it's the only way to travel. Say so long to dreadful days in the airport!

Kick Back And Relax Before Boarding Your Flight

The airport can be an overwhelming environment, especially for those who don't fly often. It seems like everyone is in a rush, all of the outlets are taken, gates are crowded, and the line at the coffee stand is always way too long.

With the Priority Pass, you'll have VIP access to more than 1,200 lounges across the globe. This means that you'll be able to temporarily escape the crowds and long lines. If you arrive early enough, you can grab something to eat, sip a refreshing cocktail (if you're 21 or older), finish up some work with complimentary Wi-Fi, and have more space to yourself.

Fuel Up With Complimentary Food And Beverages

I can't be the only person who cringes when I see restaurant prices at the airport. Suddenly, water costs seven bucks, and a solid meal can cost you nearly $20. Forget about alcoholic beverages if you're on a budget.

Fortunately, most lounges offer complimentary meals and beverages. This means that you can enjoy a meal without overpaying before you board your flight.

If you fly frequently, you're likely to save large amounts of money that you'd otherwise be spending on meals in the airport. If this doesn't convince you, I'm not sure what will.

Delays And Layovers Become More Bearable

When it comes to air travel, delays and layovers are inevitable. It's a complete bummer when you hear that your flight was delayed, but sometimes, it's just out of your control.

Flights with connections may be more affordable than direct flights. In this case, the Priority Pass makes spending more time in the airport bearable.

You'll have the perfect place to retreat in case you find yourself stuck in the airport for longer than you planned. If the airport lounge has showers and seats, you'll save plenty of money and time by going to the lounge instead of an airport hotel.
