Common Questions

What if my card doesn't have lounge access?

If your card doesn't offer lounge access, you can purchase lounge passes directly from lounge operators, use programs like Priority Pass, or consider upgrading to a premium card that includes lounge benefits.

Why do terms vary between banks and airports?

Lounge access terms vary because each bank negotiates separate agreements with lounge operators. Factors like card type, spending patterns, and airport traffic influence these terms.

Do debit cards also get lounge access?

Yes, many premium debit cards from major banks offer lounge access. However, the terms are usually more restrictive than credit cards and may require maintaining higher account balances.
