Priority Pass members can now access “The House” lounges at two Australian airports – Sydney (SYD) & Melbourne (MEL). Unfortunately Priority Pass members cannot access these lounges for free, they have to pay a $20 AUD copay. Given that both SYD & MEL airports have a number of restaurant options that are included with Priority Pass, I can’t see this being a popular option for members apart from maybe American Express cardholders as they no longer get access to these restaurant option. This isn’t the first time a Priority Pass lounge has charged an additional fee, no1 lounges charge a fee of ~$6.5 for example.
