Priority pass has announced that lounge fees will be increasing to $32 per visit, up from $27 on October 1st. It looks like this fee increase is only for those who purchase directly from Priority Pass or those who have membership through holding an American Express card. Most American Express cards come with unlimited free visits for the primary cardholder and for guests. For those cardholders there is no change, you still receive unlimited free visits. One exception is the Hilton Ascend and Hilton Business card, these come with 10 free visits and then you’re charged per visit. After October 1st you’ll be charged $32 per visit after the initial 10 are used.
Can’t really see this doing much to reduce overcrowding, probably more about renegotiating the rate American Express pays for unlimited and limited passes.
