LoungeKey HSBC Premier Airport Lounge List – What’s the Choice?
March 3, 2020 By Ben @ Thrifty Points 2 Comments
A number of UK credit cards offer complimentary lounge access as a perk to encourage consumers to sign up to the premium version of their card. Today we’ll be looking at the pass offered exclusively by HSBC – LoungeKey.
For those who travel regularly, access to lounges with the likes of the complimentary LoungeKey HSBC Premier Airport Lounge pass can provide real value. We’ll take a look later in the article at just what the LoungeKey HSBC pass could be worth.
Unlike Priority Pass and Lounge Club which are offered across a number of credit card companies as well as standalone passes which can be purchased online, LoungeKey is only available to customers of the HSBC Premier World Elite MasterCard. To gain access, cardholders simply have to show their credit card at the reception of the lounge for HSBC airport lounge access.
Holders of the free version of the card can also use it to gain access, but they’ll need to pay a fee of £15 per person. This is however cheaper than the complimentary Lounge Club card offered with the (free for the first year) American Express Gold card (our favourite UK credit card, as we discuss here ) which has recently increased to £20 per visit after using the 2 complimentary passes.
Let's break this post down...
HSBC Premier Lounge Access
For those who don’t already hold the HSBC credit card, you may want to read my recent review here which covers the pros and cons of the card.
For those of you who already hold the card, you’ll need to register your card for HSBC LoungeKey access. This can be done at the LoungeKey website here . Once you’ve signed up simply show your card when you visit to gain complimentary access.
How does HSBC Premier credit card lounge access compare to other credit cards?
The LoungeKey HSBC Premier credit card comes with an annual fee of £195 pa. If you’re simply looking at LoungeKey as the only benefit of the card, then compared to other lounge passes it’s surprisingly good value. If you were planning on purchasing the Priority Pass with complimentary annual access it would cost £339!
HOWEVER as we write in our review here , in comparison to most UK cards, the eligibility requirements for the card are strict to say the least. To qualify you’ll need to pay your annual income into an HSBC Premier current account and meet one of the two further requirements:
- Income of over £75k and either an HSBC mortgage, investment, life insurance or protection product;
- Over £50,000 of investments or savings with HSBC.
This will clearly prevent a number of people from signing up to the credit card. So how does it compare to other complimentary lounge access offered by other credit cards?
The only other card which offers unlimited lounge access is the American Express Platinum card (reviewed here) through Priority Pass. The card comes with a huge annual fee of £575 pa however for a small handful of people the numerous perks will more than offset the cost of the card… The benefit of the Priority Pass over the HSBC LoungeKey lounge access is that the Priority Pass allows one complimentary guest. If you subscribe to a supplementary Platinum card for someone else in your family they’ll also receive a Priority Pass. With both allowing one guest, a family of four can gain entry to lounges free of charge.
The LoungeKey HSBC pass charges £15 for every additional guest. As such a family of four would have to pay £45. This could be reduced by £15 per visit if you signed up to a supplementary card for £60. If both you and the supplementary cardholder travel a significant amount this seems like a no-brainer to me…

Southampton International: Priority Lounge
Of the above, my favourites are most definitely the No 1 lounges. As I write about here these can get extremely busy during peak times (especially school holidays). In these instances you may want to reserve a space to avoid disappointment and also gain access to Fast Track Security.
What’s the difference between LoungeKey, Priority Pass and Lounge Club?
In all honesty, not a great deal. If anything I’d say that Lounge Club has the worst coverage but Priority Pass and LoungeKey are very very similar. There’s a simple reason for this… All three are owned by the same company – Collinson Latitude. You can read my full reviews on Priority Pass here and Lounge Club here .
What is the LoungeKey HSBC airport lounge access worth?
This is a very tricky one to answer because it’s so dependent on the individual’s travel habits. If like me you find yourself travelling up to 5 times a month, the quantifiable benefits of a lounge (the amount you would usually spend on food and drink in a lounge) will add up quickly and I suspect will more than outweigh the £195 of the card.
But what if you only travel say 4 times a year and you always travel with the family? Yes, having somewhere quiet to sit and pass the time is nice. Access to complimentary food and drink is great but don’t forget besides your own complimentary pass you’ll need to be paying £15 per person to enter the lounge. In this instance if you apply no value to the various other benefits offered by the credit card, you’d be paying £48.75 per visit plus £15 per guest. You’d be far better off opting for the American Express Gold card using the 2 free passes and then paying £20 for every visit thereafter!
The HSBC LoungeKey App
I also thought it would be useful to touch briefly on the LoungeKey HSBC app. As you could imagine the app somewhat mirrors the Priority Pass app (as they’re owned by the same company) which I’m a big fan of.
There’s nothing worse than turning up at an international airport, trying to connect to the Wi-Fi (to prevent incurring significant roaming fees), getting lost while you’re trying to track down the correct lounge and generally just wasting precious time you could be spending in the lounge. The HSBC LoungeKey app is simple to use and directs you to the nearest lounge, which is very handy.

The lounge staff are unable to look up whether you are a LoungeKey HSBC Premier UK member and as such they will always need to swipe your card on arrival.
Can someone else use your card for HSBC LoungeKey Access?
No. Your LoungeKey HSBC Premier UK credit card will be checked against your passport so there’s no way around this I’m afraid.

Whether you’re just getting started with points and miles or are a seasoned traveler, this in-depth look at Priority Pass should answer any questions you have about the lounge program.
Find out whether Priority Pass is worth it — and if one of the credit cards in your wallet offers Priority Pass as a membership perk!
Let’s take a look at how to get a membership, the benefits of Priority Pass, and every U.S. lounge location, including hours, special policies, guest policies, and amenities.
What Is Priority Pass?
Priority Pass is an independent lounge program that provides members access to over 1,500 airport lounge locations, restaurants, and experiences in over 600 cities and 140 countries.
With a Priority Pass membership, you can enter a participating lounge regardless of the airline you’re flying, the class of your ticket, or your membership (or lack thereof) in any frequent flyer program.
The fee you pay depends on the membership you choose. Luckily, lots of credit cards offer complimentary Priority Pass membership. We’ll discuss that in detail below.
General Lounge Amenities
With a Priority Pass membership, you receive benefits such as:
- Complimentary refreshments, including alcohol in most lounges
- Space to work or relax in a comfortable place
- Free Wi-Fi in most lounges
- Comfortable seats and quiet spaces
- The latest magazines and newspapers
- Power outlets
- Conference rooms, showers, beds, and spa facilities in select lounges
Restaurants, Be Relax Spas, and Minute Suites
Additionally, Priority Pass comes with access to Be Relax Spa and Minute Suites locations and a handful of restaurants. This gives members yet another way to utilize their membership, especially at airports that don’t have traditional lounges.
When it comes to Priority Pass-designated restaurants, cardholders usually receive $28 off the final bill. Restaurants usually allow 1 guest per cardholder and take $56 off the final bill ($28 per person).
At eligible Be Relax Spas, Priority Pass members can select 1 massage or aromatherapy service.
At the Minute Suites, Priority Pass members receive 1 hour free and can pay for additional hours at a discounted rate of $28 to $34. Showers are extra.
Note that certain Priority Pass Select memberships, including those with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Card and U.S.-issued American Express cards such as The Platinum Card ® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card ® from American Express , do not include access to “non-lounge airport experiences.” Make sure to inquire with the restaurant, Be Relax Spa, or Minute Suites staff to verify coverage.
To access a Priority Pass lounge, you must present membership identification.
Most lounges now accept a digital membership card that can be accessed via the Priority Pass app . But be sure to check the requirements of the specific lounge you wish to visit before arriving. In some cases, the lounge requires a physical membership card.
The number of guests you can bring in varies per lounge, is subject to capacity, and depends on the type of membership you have.
If, for example, you got a Priority Pass membership directly from Priority Pass, you pay $35 per guest. This guest fee is charged directly to your nominated payment card.
Some of the more popular travel rewards credit cards , like the Amex Platinum card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve ® , give you complimentary access for 2 guests.
You can download the Priority Pass app for Apple and Android . This app is free and is where you find your digital membership card. Additionally, the app lets you search for lounges, rate lounges, and look up your lounge visit history. You can also find each lounge’s images, hours, and amenities.
Family and Partner Pass: Priority Pass doesn’t advertise it, but they do offer a Partner Standard Membership at half price. Contact the Membership Services team for more information.
Referral Bonuses: Through a special referral link, you can refer friends and receive free guest visits in return , if you’re a member. Plus, your friends get 10% off their membership. There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer.
How To Get a Priority Pass Membership
There are 2 ways to get a Priority Pass membership: by purchasing a membership directly or enrolling via a credit card that gives you Priority Pass Select .
The best way to acquire membership is to have a credit card that offers Priority Pass Select as a cardmember benefit.
The following cards are our favorites that include Priority Pass Select as a cardholder benefit , and for each card below you can bring up to 2 guests in with you for free.

Enrollment Is Required
If you receive Priority Pass membership through one of the above credit cards, you still have to officially enroll to utilize your benefits. You can’t simply show your credit card and expect entry. Refer to your membership guide or contact your credit card’s customer service staff for help with enrollment.
If you don’t have a credit card that includes Priority Pass as a member benefit, you can sign up for a membership plan on the Priority Pass website . The pricing varies by country and benefits.
There are 3 membership tiers:
- The Standard plan has a $99 annual fee. You pay an additional $35 for each lounge visit.
- The Standard Plus plan has a $329 annual fee, and you receive 10 free visits. Each visit thereafter is $35.
- The Prestige plan has a $469 annual fee, and you don’t pay an additional surcharge for lounge entry.
On all plans, each guest costs $35. The number of guests you can bring in depends on the lounge.
Priority Pass often offers discounts on its memberships.
Not Sure Which Plan Is Right for You?
Check out this handy table that tells you your lounge entry costs based on how many times you visit a Priority Pass Lounge each year:
If you only plan to visit a Priority Pass lounge 5 times in a year, for example, the Standard plan should suffice. But any number of visits past 5 ends up costing you more than if you had purchased the Standard Plus plan to begin with. And the Prestige Plan is only your best bet if you plan to visit Priority Pass lounges more than 14 times a year.
Why not get a credit card that already includes Priority Pass Select as well as a multitude of other cost-saving benefits, rewards, and perks? A Priority Pass Select membership means free access to thousands of lounges worldwide via a credit card you may already have in your wallet.

If you’re considering a Priority Pass membership and travel often, it’s a lot more cost-effective to sign up for one of the credit cards that offer a Priority Pass Select membership than signing up directly for a membership. Each of these credit cards provides a lot more cost savings and other travel benefits for frequent flyers, so the value outweighs signing up for a direct membership
Priority Pass is consistently expanding its lounge options, meaning you have a decent chance to find lounge access at most places you fly.

HSBC TravelOne Card: Miles game, meet shake-up
The HSBC TravelOne Card boasts competitive earn rates and lounge entitlements, but what excites me the most are its transfer partners.
HSBC has launched the HSBC TravelOne Card, its first entry-level miles card for the Singapore market.
Do we really need another miles card? Well, that’s the thing- it’d be a mistake to dismiss the TravelOne as “just another miles card”.
I attended the launch event today and spoke with the team behind the product. There’s a lot to get into, but here’s the key highlights:
- A 20,000 miles sign-up offer with S$800 min. spend, valid for new and existing customers
- 1.2 mpd on local spend, 2.4 mpd on FCY spend
- 4 complimentary lounge visits per calendar year
- No conversion fees till 31 December 2023
- Transfers completed “instantly or within one business day”
- 12 hotel and airline transfer partners
I want to focus specifically on the final point, because that’s what’s got me the most excited. Not only does HSBC now have the most transfer partners in Singapore (taking the crown from Citi), it intends to add new airline and hotel partners at an aggressive pace, and I mean aggressive. The goal is more than 20 partners by the end of 2023!
I’ve seen the roadmap, and while I can’t share specifics, there are some names that would make the miles community here very happy…
Overview: HSBC TravelOne Card
The HSBC TravelOne Card (which I suspect we’ll soon be calling the T1 Card, given the styling on the card face) has a minimum income requirement of S$30,000 . If you do not meet the minimum income requirement, a minimum fixed deposit collateral of S$10,000 will apply.
Cardholders will pay an annual fee of S$194.40, waived from the second year onwards if they spend at least S$25,000 in a membership year.
It’s not clear from the T&Cs whether cardholders will receive any miles for paying the annual fee each year.
HSBC TravelOne Cardholders earn:
- 3X HSBC points per S$1 (1.2 mpd) on local spend
- 6X HSBC points per S$1 (2.4 mpd) on foreign currency spend
There is no minimum spend required, nor cap on the points that can be earned.
While it won’t be a substitute for a 4/6 mpd card, these are very compelling earn rates compared with other entry-level general spending cards. That’s all the more when you remember that HSBC awards points for transactions as small as S$0.50, compared to S$5 for the UOB PRVI Miles Card and OCBC 90 ° N Card, its two closest rivals.
My main concern here is the lack of a bonus category. While earn rates of 1.2/2.4 mpd are decent, it’ll take quite a lot of spending to reach a critical mass of points, especially since HSBC excludes CardUp and ipaymy transactions from earning rewards, and because points don’t pool with other HSBC cards.
Sign-up bonus
From 11 May to 31 August 2023 , customers who apply for a HSBC TravelOne Card will enjoy 20,000 bonus miles (in the form of 50,000 HSBC points) when they:
- Pay the annual fee of S$194.40
- Spend at least S$800 by the end of the month following approval
- Opt-in for marketing communications during the sign-up
This offer is valid for both new and existing HSBC cardholders.
The qualifying spending period is as follows:
20,000 miles for S$800 spend and a S$194.40 annual fee is a tidy return; put it another way, you’re paying about 0.97 cents per mile (S$194.40/20,000 miles), which is a great price especially when you factor in transfer partner variety.
If you’re a new HSBC cardholder, you’ll also receive a further S$30 cash when you apply via SingSaver. You can use any of the links in this post, or refer to this article.
Bonus crediting
Bonus miles (in the form of HSBC points) will be credited within 90 days from the card opening date, provided the eligibility criteria is met.
Terms & Conditions
The terms and conditions for the welcome offer can be found here.
Points Expiry
HSBC points earned on the HSBC TravelOne Card expire after 37 months, same as other HSBC credit cards.
Transfer Partners
Here’s what I think is the biggest selling point of the HSBC TravelOne Card: transfer partners.
HSBC points could previously be transferred to just Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, but the HBSC TravelOne Card comes with nine airline and three hotel partners.
Conversions can be done via the HSBC Singapore app ( Android | iOS ) and are processed “instantly or within one business day” (except Accor, which takes five business days). During the media event, they consistently emphasised the “instant” aspect, but the website uses more nuanced language “instant or within one business day”. I suppose that’s just in case.
All conversion fees will be waived until 31 December 2023. It’s unclear what they’ll be after that, so stay tuned.
The upshot is that HSBC (9 airlines, 3 hotels) has now wrestled the “most transfer partners” crown from Citibank (10 airlines, 1 hotel).
It’s nice to see three hotel partners, although the transfer ratios won’t be worthwhile for most people. This isn’t a HSBC-specific problem, mind you; Citibank and Standard Chartered have similarly weak ratios for hotels. We might just need to accept that we’ll never have a decent hotel points card in Singapore.
On the airline side, all three alliances are represented: Star Alliance (SIA, EVA) oneworld (BA, Cathay, Qantas) and SkyTeam (Air France/KLM, Vietnam).
In addition to mainstays like Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, it’s great to see British Airways Executive Club with their sweet spots for short-haul Economy travel. Don’t forget that British Airways Avios can also be used within Qatar Privilege Club too, which offers great value for Singapore-Europe/North America travel, with no fuel surcharges.
This will also be the first time Vietnam Airlines LotusMiles has partnered with a bank in Singapore. I don’t know a lot about this programme, but based on some quick research I don’t think there’s much to get excited about; award tickets cost significantly more during peak periods, there are fuel surcharges, and partner awards can’t be booked online.
What you should be excited about, however, are HSBC’s plans to ramp up its airline and hotel partner count over the rest of 2023. HSBC aims to have more than 20(!) airline and hotel partners by the end of 2023, including one name I can’t disclose now, but let me put it this way: if it happens, it’s going to make a lot of miles chasers very happy.
Lounge Visits
HSBC TravelOne Cardholders enjoy four complimentary lounge visits per calendar year, provided by DragonPass.
This is a relatively generous allowance for the segment in which the card competes.
Two interesting things to note.
First, the allowance is based on calendar year , not membership year. This means that a HSBC TravelOne Cardholder who gets approved in May 2023 will receive four visits to use from May to December 2023, then another four visits come 1 January 2024 (unused visits cannot be carried forward).
They could theoretically use up to eight lounge visits in their first membership year, regardless of whether they choose to renew the card.
Second, it’s interesting to see that HSBC is going with DragonPass for the TravelOne Card, since the HSBC Visa Infinite uses LoungeKey.
And yet I’m glad they have, because the DragonPass network is arguably more useful given Plaza Premium’s divorce from The Collinson Group (which runs Priority Pass and LoungeKey). DragonPass members can still access Plaza Premium Lounges as per normal, and at some airports (e.g. Kuching, Penang) that’s the sole contract lounge option.
Lounge visits can only be used by the principal cardholder, however. That’s a bit odd, since you can normally share allowances with other cards.
Travel Insurance
An expected feature, but still worth mentioning: HSBC TravelOne Cardholders who charge their air tickets to the card will receive complimentary travel insurance coverage (including COVID-19) of up to US$100,000, underwritten by HSBC Life.
This covers both the cardholder and their family.
HSBC has confirmed that coverage will also apply in situations where you redeem a ticket with miles and use the HSBC TravelOne Card to pay the taxes and surcharges.
What excites me most about the HSBC TravelOne Card is not its earn rates or lounge access, competitive though they may be. It’s the possibilities.
This card isn’t even one day old and it’s already dethroned Citi in terms of transfer partners, with plans to pull even further ahead as 2023 progresses. Granted, not all the new partners will be “useful” to miles chasers, and otherwise useful ones may have transfer ratios that negate their value. We simply don’t know at this point.
But I’m choosing to be optimistic here. After a steady diet of KrisFlyer and Asia Miles (nothing wrong with them, mind you), it’s refreshing to see the miles universe expanding in Singapore. New programmes mean new sweet spots, new routing rules, new quirks and loopholes that diligent users can leverage. It’s about time, if you ask me.
What’s missing here is the addition of a bonus category. With earn rates of 1.2/2.4 mpd, it would take a significant amount of spending to earn your way to a redemption. The next step here would be to expand the new partners to the HSBC Revolution , because that’s when things will truly fall into place.

Great to see development in the miles game in Singapore. I hope HSBC joins the fray for premium cards, 120k and 500k segments as well!
Competition is only good for the consumer.
They already do have a 120K card?
The Visa Infinite
Exciting times!!!
Unless I’m forgetting anything, 2.4mpd for FCY is best in class right?
well SCB VI offers 3 mpd, but has a min spend of $2k. it would be best in class for a general spending card.
Hard pass for me if the points don’t pool. Never going to be earning enough miles to make sense.
Also why do cards like these and the revised Amaze come with those concave cut outs at the end?
tiny bit of comfort for pushing it into the card reader, and also helps users instantly tell which side to push in.
an accessibility feature for visually impaired individuals, it lets them know which end to insert
Interesting… but somewhat unconvinced that the broader list of transfer partners is worth skipping 4/6 mpd. I would love to be proven wrong though.
2 things ok? General vs category spending card
I know we shouldn’t just a credit card by its looks, but that’s a beautiful card design!
Actually, what interest me is the hotel points transfer. 10k initial pts on Accor that should be EUR200? Better than IHG 20k @ USD0.5cents/pts
Qatar Privilege Club does charge fuel surcharge:
- Long haul economy: US$70
- Long haul business: US$140
- Short haul economy: US$35
- Short haul business: US$70
these are award segment fees, not fuel surcharge. they’re annoying for sure, but nowhere as bad as YQ. *shrugs*
Now I wonder how they gonna upgrade their VI card given the poor earning rate on the card
Curious to know if any miles will be given upon renewal from 2nd year onwards.
Good card but sadly I think it doesn’t offer any annual fee renewal. I am wondering if it’s possible to get subsequent annual fee waive if not I may not hold this for long other than potential cardup exploit.
I mean amaze* exploit
Can you tell us which is the one partner which will make a lot of mile chasers happy? I promise not to tell anyone.
Transfer partner would be – just like the partnership HSBC has for EveryMile Credit Card in Hong Kong.

Pass for me. HSBC service & support sucks big time and this is where I don’t want to stuck with them. Also the sign up offer 20,000 if I spend 600 & pay the annual fee. The cost of the mile is > 1c (including the 600). Payall can give me that without another card.
Waive annual fee liao
miles devaluation is so bad nowadays, paying such rates now also need to think twice
Is it me? or does the card looks like a world elite mastercard?
Not just you. It really looks like the logo- but it’s a world mc
Same. I think it’s coz the logo is silver, not the red and yellow one.
How about payment of NTU fee using the card?

10 Tricks to Easily Get Airport Lounge Access, According to an Airline Miles Expert
Posted: September 9, 2023 | Last updated: September 9, 2023
You can completely upgrade your airport experience by passing the time in an amazing airport lounge.
We’re talking about opportunities to sit and relax away from busy waiting areas while enjoying free food and beverages. Even better, getting in doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg.
For over a decade, I’ve been using credit card benefits as one of my travel planning secrets to get to some destinations nearly free of charge. Here are some simple ways you can boost your airport experience, too.
Compare the best travel credit cards for nearly free travel
Use a credit card with lounge access
One of the easiest ways to get lounge access is having a credit card that provides an airport lounge benefit.
In many cases, that’s your key to gaining access to a network of over a thousand airport lounges worldwide. And you often don’t have to do much more than qualify for a specific credit card and enroll in the lounge benefit.
Many top travel credit cards also provide airport lounge access as a benefit.
Get expert advice on making more money - sent straight to your inbox.
Become an authorized user
If you don’t currently qualify for a credit card with airport lounge access, that doesn’t have to be the end of your airport lounge story.
It’s possible to have a friend or family member add you as an authorized user on one of their credit cards that provides lounge access. Depending on the card, this might cost you a fee each year.
But you typically receive your own physical credit card and don’t have to be with the primary cardholder to access applicable airport lounges. So you can travel on your own and still enjoy lounge access benefits.
Enter as a guest
If you typically travel with a friend or family member with a premium travel card, you can enter airport lounges with them as a guest.
Access depends on the card, but many premium travel credit cards provide free access for a certain number of guests. Sometimes, you might have to pay a discounted rate to enter as a guest.
6 ways to build a life where you can travel any time you want
Consider a third-party lounge membership
You can join a third-party lounge program like Priority Pass or DragonPass that will give you access to its worldwide network.
These types of memberships could cost upwards of a few hundred dollars annually, but you typically have multiple plan options depending on how often you travel.
For example, you might consider a cheaper plan if you only think you’ll visit lounges a few times per year.
Buy an airline lounge membership
Apart from third-party lounge memberships, you can also purchase lounge memberships directly from airline loyalty programs.
For example, you can purchase a Delta Sky Club membership if you’re a Delta SkyMiles Medallion Member. The membership would give you access to over 50 Delta Sky Club locations.
You can typically use cash or miles to purchase an airline lounge membership. Using miles for a membership might not give you the best redemption rate (redeeming miles for travel is often better), but it could help if you're flush with airline miles and don’t want to spend extra.
13 legit ways to make extra cash
Buy a day pass
Many airport lounges offer the option to pay for a one-time pass to enter, allowing you to enjoy a lounge without having a particular credit card, membership, or other access.
Note that you have to research individual lounges to see if they allow one-time entries and how much they might cost. Whether paying for a day pass is worth it depends on how much you’re willing to spend if you have a long layover and what amenities the lounge offers.
For instance, if you’re about to spend $30 on airport food anyway, it might be worth spending $35 to get into a lounge that offers unlimited food and beverages.
Fly premium class
Business and first-class travelers enjoy excellent in-flight amenities, often including more legroom and better service. These premium fares can also grant them complimentary access to specific airport lounges.
If you plan on booking a premium ticket, consider whether you receive airport lounge access at your departure airport. You can check with the airline operating your flight to see if your ticket provides any lounge benefits.
Search for lounge access with LoungeBuddy
You can book one-time lounge passes to specific lounges using the LoungeBuddy mobile app.
The app is an easy way to see how much it might cost to access specific lounges and take care of your lounge access before you even get to the airport.
LoungeBuddy can be a great way to research what lounges and amenities are available at airports worldwide, especially if you already have access to specific lounge networks with credit cards or memberships.
9 nearly secret things to do if you fly Southwest
Earn elite status
Earning a high elite status tier with specific airline loyalty programs could provide you with a certain level of airport lounge access.
For example, qualifying AAdvantage Executive Platinum, AAdvantage Platinum Pro, and AAdvantage Platinum members can access Admirals Clubs on flights between the U.S. and Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, and many other regions of the world.
If you fly a lot with a particular airline, it is worth looking into what airport lounge benefits are available if you earn a certain elite status.
Take advantage of your military status
Many airport lounge networks offer complimentary access to active duty, uniformed military members.
Of course, the rules can vary by lounge, and your actual experience with entering specific lounges can vary depending on the employee(s) there that day.
But, in any case, active duty members can often access both Admirals Clubs and United Clubs. Military members and their spouses can often get annual fees waived on several travel credit cards.
For military personnel, accessing different lounge networks through credit card benefits is possible if you’re an eligible military service member or spouse.
Bottom line
Getting into airport lounges is easy if you plan ahead and follow tips to secure your lounge access.
And with the right credit card benefits, you don’t have to worry about paying to enter incredible lounges.
If you’re just starting with rewards cards, check out the top credit cards to find the right fit.
