Airport lounges used to be exclusive hangouts for wealthy jet setters and business execs, but getting into them is becoming increasingly more accessible. Many airport lounges offer free WiFi, pre-flight snacks and beverages, a calm place to work, charge your devices, and retreat from the crowds. Heck, some even offer premium amenities like spa services, full showers, and napping pods. Unfortunately, these airline-specific lounges are usually reserved for first-class fliers and certain credit card holders.

Priority Pass allows members access to these exclusive lounges (in select domestic and international airports)—even if you have a business or economy ticket—for an annual fee. The third-party membership program is designed to “transform the airport experience from an endurance test into a moment of indulgence” by allowing members access to over 1300 lounges (including airport, alliance, and airline-specific lounges) around the globe. Priority Pass offers three membership tiers: Standard ($99 a year), Standard Plus ($329 a year), and Prestige ($469 a year). You have access to available Priority Pass lounges immediately after signing up for a membership, so if you ever find yourself in the thick of airport anxiety with no place of refuge, consider becoming a Priority Pass member on the spot!
