Priority Pass Reports Increase in Airport Lounge Visits

Currently, over 75% of Priority Pass lounges across the globe are open for business, and visit data shows a 28% month-on-month increase between June and July 2021.

Average visits per lounge are also up 34% for H1 2021, compared to H2 2020.

“While we look forward to a broader recovery including international flights once the pandemic is brought under further control, we are meanwhile seeing better utilization of our domestic lounges in particular – which means we are serving our members well in these challenging times,” said Andy Besant, Director of Travel Experiences at Collinson, the operator of Priority Pass.

In the U.S. nearly 3.8 million flights (of which 95% were domestic) were taken in the past year compared to 8.9 million in 2019.

Domestic travel hotspots in the US are focused on the southern part of the country - with the two most-visited lounges located in Miami; followed by lounges in Dallas-Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Orlando.

Russia and China are already at 70% and 87% of flight volumes compared to 2019 - both countries where Priority Pass has a comprehensive lounge presence, covering 96% and 86% of all flights respectively.

Globally, domestic flights are forecast to be at 90% passenger capacity by April 2022.

Despite all the problems facing the airline industry, Priority Pass has added over 110 lounges and airport experiences to its network since the start of 2021.
