As many as 63 Plaza Premium lounges return to Priority Pass network this month after leaving almost two years ago, with 39 of those lounges in 22 airports in 13 countries and territories being available effective as of today, Tuesday, June 6, 2023; and an additional 24 lounges in 17 airports in ten countries and territories are expected to be added to the network effective as of Tuesday, June 20, 2023.
Plaza Premium Lounges Return to Priority Pass Network
As the result of “a changing commercial relationship” which was first announced back in April of 2021 during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic, 57 Plaza Premium airport lounges in at least 15 countries and three territories were removed from the Priority Pass network effective as of Thursday, July 1, 2021.
Final Boarding Call
However, the addition of as many as 63 airport lounges worldwide is good news for current members of Priority Pass, who will now have more options worldwide — although crowding in those lounges may be more of an issue when more people have access…
…but if you were hoping that restaurant benefits would be returning to cardholders who receive Priority Pass Select access from American Express or Capital One, forget it. That benefit was rescinded back in 2019 and will not return anytime soon.
