Article: Priority Pass Lounge Guide

If the Prestige tier offers unlimited lounge visits, how does PP prevent abuse and limit daily usage?

If I departed from Airport X (say 2 lounges and 3 restaurant offers) and landed at Airport Y (say 3 lounges and 4 restaurants), is there a system in place that prevents me from visiting all 5 lounges and collecting 7 take-away meals all on the same day using the same boarding pass?
I think that for most people the novelty of doing that will wear off quickly.

Not that I've seen. Have done 5 venues on 1 BP
 
I'll also add that practically no one looks at the boarding pass. They just ask for your flight number. So if you're sending someone off...

You can do this. This also applies for when you're QF WP and at an international airport there are different one world emerald lounges that you can visit - I've visited a few in one go, just to check them out.
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I'll be passing through quite a few domestic/international airports in 2025 and a rough cost-benefit analysis suggests I'd easily benefit from the Prestige pass if I used it at each departure/arrival airport.

I think that for most people the novelty of doing that will wear off quickly.
Agreed. I suspect I'd tail off PP usage after a few months in.

You do get the odd one who gets all funny about it. Peroni at the Syd Intl terminal gave me a bit of a lecture (“you can only use it once, your friend needs to show their boarding pass”). The noddle place at T3 also denied a guest if I didn’t show a boarding pass (I’d run over from T2 to grab takeaway and left them in the lounge). Even when they text their boarding pass to me the dragon still said “no they are not here”
 
Hi , fellow AFFs,I will soon have some transit hours in Dubai with an airline that I do not have lounge access. I plan to use my Priority Pass access, just wondering if anyone can recommend which lounge on the PP list to use in Terminal 3.
