Update 6/17/21: 57 lounges will no longer accept Priority Pass (out of 120). Hat tip to OMaaT
Plaza Premium Lounges has announced that starting July 1st, 2021 they will no longer accept Priority Pass or Lounge Key members. Plaza Premium operates over 120 lounges, so this is a significant loss for Priority Pass. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Plaza Premium lounges exit Priority Pass, for example the Indian lounges were no longer accepting Priority Pass and then started accepting them again.
It looks like some individual lounges might still be accessible via Priority Pass, but that list of lounges is currently not available and it’s not clear if that will actually be the case or not. I also wouldn’t be surprised if this was a contract dispute that we see sorted by July 1st or if Plaza Premium lounges get readded in the future.
It’s possible to access these lounges without Priority Pass but fees range from $50 to $65. It also wouldn’t surprise me if a U.S. based credit card issuer made a direct deal with Plaza Premium to give cardmembers access (American Express Platinum cardholders will retain access through the Global Lounge Collection).
