I used Priority Pass for the first time at ATL last week on my trip to/from Raintree Puerto Vallarta. The “to” visit on Saturday was fine but it was overcrowded on the “from” visit Friday.

I got the membership with one of my AMEX Cards from Hilton or Bonvoy, I think, since I can’t recall which/where. Since it was “free”, if it disappears, no great loss.

Cheers

They may as well eliminate it. The Priority Pass issued by Amex only works about half the time. We were turned away at Boston on 4 March, despite several visible empty seats. They told us they were being saved for higher priority folks.
In our experience, Priority Pass is a bit of a scam.

We have Priority Pass through Chase Sapphire Reserve and have received a great amount of benefit so far. We have used it in both the lounges and at restaurants depending on what’s available and our preference at the time. Hopefully Chase doesn’t make any drastic changes. They do limit it to one guest and that works for us.

Best regards.

Priority pass states upfront some lounges have limited hours and may not be available if the lounges are crowded.

Yes higher priority folks do exist. First class, business class people with memberships to the actual lounge.

Hi Pedro47,

Best Regards.
