Priority Pass Select is a membership offered by a variety of higher annual fee credit cards so that you can access a collection of lounges that varies from airport to airport (you may have access to 3 at one airport and none at another, but the app does a great job of letting you know what to expect).
However, there are almost as many “flavors” of Priority Pass Select as there are flavors of ice cream.
- Can you bring in a guest? Two guests? Unlimited Guests?
- Can you access airport restaurants that participate in Priority Pass?
- Can you access airport “experiences” like BeRelax spas (a certain number of minutes in an auto-massage chair, for example) or gaming experiences like Gameway?
To simplify this, we’ve made a handy chart you can bookmark and reference the next time you are heading to the airport.
Unfortunately, the card with the penultimate set of perks is a card no longer available to new applicants – the Citi Prestige. If unlimited guests is what you crave, you can apply for a Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® card, wait a year, and then call to upgrade to a Ritz Carlton card ($450 annual fee)
