Access to an airport lounge can make travel easier with quieter space to work, free Wi‑Fi, snacks and drinks—and some lounges add showers, kids’ areas or quiet rooms. Many premium rewards cards include Priority Pass Select memberships or other lounge privileges that cover thousands of lounges worldwide. Below are 11 cards that offer Priority Pass access and the key perks to consider.

Enrollment notes and tips
– Some issuers require you to enroll in Priority Pass Select before your membership is active—follow your card issuer’s instructions. Guest privileges and the number of free visits vary by card and by lounge, so check terms. Cards that include other branded lounges (Amex Centurion, Delta Sky Clubs, Capital One lounges, Admirals Club passes from Citi) expand your options beyond Priority Pass locations. Consider annual fees, available statement credits, and how often you’ll use lounges to judge net value.
Bottom line
Holding a card that provides Priority Pass or broader lounge access can improve the airport experience and save money for frequent travelers. Choose a card based on how often you travel, which airlines or hotel chains you prefer, and whether the annual fee is justified by lounge access, statement credits and other benefits.
