Until now, the closest we’ve got to the feeling of luxury when flying was walking past the designer shops in the airport on our way to the loo.
But there’s a new and nifty way for us to travel in style and feel like we’re living that bad and bougie lifestyle on a budget.
Priority Pass is the world’s largest independent airport lounge access programme and basically offers you jammy discounts on over 1400 lounges across 600 cities in 148 countries.
Suffer from pre-flight nerves? The heaving crowds pouring out of every corner won’t help. But with Priority Pass, you get access to the calm and quiet lounges and get to ease in to vacation mode in style.
The lounges also offer free Wifi to keep you connected and something to eat and drink, including free alcohol in most. A complimentary glass of something bubbly? You don’t have to tell us twice.
Also, it doesn’t matter what ticket you’re flying on. You could have nabbed the last seat by the loos in economy and still be able to enjoy a feeling of decadence in the lounges.
Plus, if you arrive early you may even be able to enjoy some luxury treatments. A calming head massage before we head off? What a time to be alive.
A Standard Plus Membership is £229 per year, which works out to just over £19 a month. For that, you get ten free lounge visits and you can pay £24 per visit for a plus one.
The Standard Membership is just £69 per year and that means every visit to the lounge is just £24. Which, considering you get free Wifi and food and drink, is a straight up bargain, right?
And we also have some extra fab news as Metro readers can now get 30% off Standard and 20% off Standard Plus.
The Priority Pass has a ton of lounges across Europe, including London airports.
For instance, The Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow offers premium alcoholic drinks and there’s even a nap room. Seriously, a room to take a nap. It’s all we’ve ever wanted because quite frankly, life is exhausting.
Returning from a trip to the Big Apple? JFK Airport has the Primeclass Lounge and you can tuck in to a gorgeous selection of hot and cold dishes, plus unlimited alcohol.
Seriously, it’s worth booking a trip to New York just for that.
