Priority Pass unveils private luxury airport experience for travelers

Priority Pass, an airport lounge membership program, has introduced a new offering, providing travelers with an even more secluded and luxurious airport experience. “Priority Pass Private” offers VIP lounge access, quicker security and check-in, and concierge-like transportation to aircraft. The service is available to businesses in Europe and the Middle East, like private banks and financial institutions, who can offer the service as a perk to their customers. However, that means it’s invite-only, with no individual sign-ups available.

Priority Pass Private launches across Europe and the Middle East

The program will initially debut in 76 airports in 30 countries across the globe. According to the company, the program intends to mirror the private jet experience. At the airport, program members receive a personalized meet and greet, before being whisked through check-in, security, and immigration (if needed). After that, it’s off to a private VIP lounge, where an upscale experience awaits. Then, members travel to their aircraft via chauffeur-driven transport. Pricing for the program isn’t currently available.

Christopher Evans, the CEO of Collinson International (owner of the Priority Pass) shared in a statement: “In today’s evolving world of luxury travel, the most discerning and high-net-worth travelers expect more than a seamless airport experience; they value time, privacy and exclusivity.”

He continued: “Priority Pass Private was created to meet this need, transforming time in transit into time well spent. We are proud to bring this vision to life, reimagining travel for the world’s most elite travelers.” 

A standard Priority Pass membership costs $99, with every lounge visit costing an additional $35. Included is access to more than 1,700 lounges across the globe. A “Prestige” level membership is $469 and offers free, unlimited lounge visits.

The Palouse: America’s Most Underrated Scenic Drive
Waterfalls, barns, and the wide open spaces the West is known for. All at the tip of your fingers in the Pacific Northwest
Field, Grassland, Nature

When Americans talk about spectacular landscapes, they usually mention the obvious headliners: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Rocky Mountains, or the dramatic coastlines of California and Oregon. Far fewer people have heard of the Palouse, a remarkable agricultural region straddling eastern Washington and western Idaho.

That is a shame because the Palouse is one of the most visually distinctive landscapes in North America—and one of the most rewarding road trips you can take in the Pacific Northwest. I have visited this area several times, both as a destination in its own right and on my way through to the Idaho Panhandle.

Inside Gordon Ramsay’s spectacular new London restaurant in the sky
From skyline views to Gordon's famous fried chicken, Lucky Cat delivers on every level
City, Urban, Metropolis

I'm not saying Gordon Ramsay is the reason I booked a dinner reservation in London.

But after my partner and I binged Being Gordon Ramsay on Netflix earlier this year, visiting Lucky Cat suddenly shot to the top of our list.

London has no shortage of rooftop bars. Florattica still stands out
This East London rooftop bar proves you don't need to be 50 floors up to impress
Bar, Person, Candle

London does not need another rooftop bar. The city has them stacked on top of skyscrapers, tucked behind hotel lobbies, and squeezed onto buildings where you'd swear there isn't room for a bar, let alone a view. So when a new one claims to be worth your evening, it has some convincing to do.

Florattica, perched on the 11th floor of Canopy by Hilton London City, did the convincing. It just recently picked up its first PIN from The Pinnacle Guide, and after a night spent working through its cocktail menu (slowly, responsibly, mostly), it's easy to see why.
