Sleeping in Airports

Airport Lounge Access: Passes

If you only travel occasionally, a lounge pass can be one of the simplest ways to access an airport lounge without committing to an annual membership or premium credit card.

A prepaid lounge pass allows you to reserve access in advance, giving you a comfortable place to relax, work, eat, shower, or recharge during a layover, flight delay, or long wait at the airport. Depending on the lounge, booking ahead may also help guarantee entry during busy travel periods.

Lounge passes are available through many airline-operated and independent lounges worldwide. Some can be purchased directly from the lounge or airline, while others are sold through third-party providers. Passes may be valid for a few hours or an entire day, depending on the lounge and access program. Facilities also vary, so it is worth checking what is included before booking. Some lounges offer showers, private rest areas, or sleep facilities, while others focus primarily on food, drinks, and comfortable seating.

Our airport guides and lounge profiles list lounges that offer prepaid passes, along with details about available facilities, access options, and traveller experiences.
