add a clear pass to the tab and you'll be able to join the nouve richet jetsetting the globe and ballin' out of control on a budget.

But... aren't most VIP lounges only $25 per visit, if you buy at the door? Much as I heart Shankman, as an airport employee offspring I see this only as another way to rip off the tourists.

If you fly a "lot" then you've got enough status with the major airlines to use THEIR lounges for free.

Priority Pass is for people who think they fly a lot and like to hang out in the lounge so they can look cool.

Plus; Priority Pass only gets you into the substandard lounges at the airport. The good lounges are still reserved for paying F passengers and top tier status holders.

And WTF says "YA!" to a United Airlines lounge? Those things are the most disgusting lounges of any airline. Paid booze (if you ask you MAY get 2 drinks tickets), shitty snacks and paid T-mobile WiFi.

if you're like me and a ridiculously cheapskate flyer, you fly whoever is cheapest, so it's hard to built FF miles even when you fly a lot.

You can't always buy same day, depends on whether the agent at the desk has PMS.

Not a bad deal. Plus being able to use when flying self paid vacay is nice.

Get just an Amex Platinum Card (the current annual fee is $450 for the personal card) and you get the same airport lounge privileges plus the extra bennies (like four companion coach class airline tickets per year).

@BartKela: If you have ovaries made of gold, you could avoid the $450 cost and just have your Piggy get the card for you.

@scoobydo thanks for playing, but when you're in a lounge without your regular airline's club, PriPass gets you in to others.

And by the way - I don't pay for Priority Pass. It comes free with the specific type of credit card I have.

@raincoster: Hey hon! :) And no, specific types of PriPasses - The one I get is free for all clubs.

Whipping out penis.
