In 2021, Priority Pass/Lounge Key, the lounge access aggregator offering from the Collinson Group and Plaza Premium, the global lounge operator with lounges across America, Europe and Asia, parted ways by not renewing the contract to enable Priority Pass members to get access to Plaza Premium Lounges. As travel pulls back, reconciliations have been made between both sides, and a new agreement has been signed.

Plaza Premium and Lounge Key members get access to 63 Plaza Premium Lounges.

Plaza Premium Lounge has an expansive network of 250+ global locations across 70+ major international airports, and 63 of these independent lounges will be available to the combined 40 million Priority Pass and LoungeKey Members, who currently have access to 1,300 lounges and experiences in more than 600 cities across 148 countries worldwide.

The renewed partnership between Plaza Premium Group (PPG) and Collinson, the operator of Priority Pass and LoungeKey, expands the lounge membership networks’ global footprint across key travel markets within North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

Lounges added include those in US and Canada, including travel hubs such as Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, and Orlando International Airport. In Europe, the Middle East and Asia, 21 lounges were added. For the Asia Pacific region, 27 additional lounges were added across travel destinations, including Cambodia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines.

Here are all the airports where Priority Pass got Plaza Premium Lounges in their fold again:

• Africa
  • Ethiopia: Addis Ababa Bole International
• Asia Pacific
  • Hong Kong: Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International
  • Macau: Macau International
  • Taiwan: Taipei Taoyuan International

This is excellent news for those looking for lounge space as travel continues to recover and grow stronger year after year.

Bottomline

Plaza Premium Lounges rejoined the Priority Pass network in June 2023. The two companies had gone their separate ways in 2021; however, as travel picks up, they are back together again. This is a small subset of the entire Plaza Premium lounge network, and perhaps more lounges will be offered in the future. Who knows.

What do you think of Plaza Premium lounges rejoining Priority Pass? Have you tried out any recently?
