Priority Pass Lounges Adding Co-Payments

To access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse Lounge at LAX via Priority Pass, you would need to pay a USD35 (~AU$55) surcharge. It's not the first Priority Pass lounge to add a surcharge.

Well… a whopper meal from Burger King is USD20.99 at the airport, with USD9 of that going for the drink and fries. That’s almost $30 aussie. Insane by any measure.

If people are happy to pay those prices, a USD35 surcharge for a lounge would be next to nothing compared to value you’d get.

Lounges are becoming worse environments than sitting at the gate before a flight. This will be good for both lounges and passengers, better experience and more money for the lounges. Happy to pay the fee if using PP.
I like how SQ has separated lounge access for pax holding business / first boarding pass and status pax to another lounge. Guest policy is tight as well.

Matt I agree with you this is taking the coins or more likely the dollars out of one’s pocket.I am a PP member paying my annual fee .I don't have PP lounge access from a credit card.This co-payment is simply a method the lounges use to leverage their bottom line.If the co- payment trend spreads I will most likely review my PP membership as I already pay an annual membership and a visit fee ( which despite the low AUD is still value for money).
