PROGRAMME PROFILE
The Club Lounges
The Club is an airport lounge network.
Facts checked: 18 October 2026
Key takeaways
- Those three networks present access in visibly different ways: annual membership tiers sold by the network itself, a benefit supplied through a card issuer, and an app-based membership that bundles lounges with other airport services. [3] [4] [5]
- Each network publishes its own products and conditions, so none of these models can be read across to The Club; anything specific to The Club has to come from The Club's own published pages. [3] [4] [5]
Three access models in the sources
Annual membership tiers. Priority Pass lists more than 1,900 airport lounges and experiences in over 600 cities across 143 countries, and sells three annual memberships: Standard at £69, Standard Plus at £229 and Prestige at £419. [3] The same page states that access to lounges is subject to space availability, and that pre-booking is offered at selected locations for a small fee. [3]
A card-issuer benefit. LoungeKey describes itself as a benefit provided to the traveller by their card issuer, and gives members a way to create a digital account where they do not have the issuer's dedicated website to hand. [4] Its front page tells visitors that a lounge welcome awaits regardless of the airline flown or the ticket held, and refers to complimentary refreshments and comfortable seating. [4]
An app-based pass. DragonPass presents itself as a single pass to more than 2,500 experiences, in the airport and beyond, and places airport lounges alongside dining, fitness and Fast Track among the services a member can reach through its app. [5] Its memberships are presented as one app-based package of travel and lifestyle benefits. [5]
Where The Club fits
What the sources do show is that lounge access can be arranged at network level, with the network publishing its own membership products and conditions on its own pages. [3] [4] A traveller who needs The Club's locations or entry products should take them from The Club's own published material, because a different network's fee, booking rule or guest policy says nothing about The Club's. [4]
The same logic applies to entry routes: a membership bought from a network and a benefit attached to a payment card are separate products with separate conditions, even where both end at an airport lounge.
Exceptions and limits
- Space availability. Priority Pass states that lounge access is subject to space availability, and that pre-booking exists only at selected locations and carries a small fee. [3]
- Who supplies the benefit. LoungeKey access arrives with a card issuer rather than being bought directly from the network; the route it offers members without the issuer's dedicated site is to create a digital account. [4]
- What the sources leave unpublished. The Priority Pass page does not set out per-visit prices, guest allowances or a full location list, and the DragonPass page does not publish lounge-level terms or prices; none of these is reported here. [3] [5]
