Can I use Priority Pass lounge on arrival?
Yes, you can use your Priority Pass lounge membership upon arrival at certain airports. While the primary purpose of Priority Pass is to provide access to lounges for departing passengers, many lounges also allow members to use their facilities upon arrival. It’s important to note, however, that not all lounges within the Priority Pass network offer this service, so it’s always a good idea to check beforehand.
Upon arrival at the airport, you can simply present your Priority Pass card or digital membership card and request access to a participating lounge.
