    I can't see the point of Airport Angel. You pay an annual fee of £65, and then £15 entry fee to the airport lounge. Most lounges are only around £18 to use anyway, and there are often discount codes and offers around.

    Or am I missing something?

    I now have my Priority Pass courtesy of my new NatWest Black Mastercard. The real bonus, which I hadn't anticipated is that my wife also got a Priority Pass - so that's two for £200, plus all the other benefits that come with the black card. I looked through the Priority Pass directory and all my usual airports are covered with the exception of Exeter which I only use as a very last resort anyway. Happy bunny, I am.
  • One important thing to remember that the folks at Priority Pass customer service don't tell you when you sign up is that you can't upgrade in the middle of a membership year.

    Say you sign up for the Standard membership ($99 + $27/entry, no free entries). If you change jobs, requiring a significantly higher amount of travel and need to upgrade to their Standard Plus membership ($249 + 10 entries + $27/entry after 10), you're just out of luck.

    The refuse to accept, for example, the difference between $249 and $99 to upgrade. They also refuse to offer a pro-rated upgrade as well.

    Not very accomodating in the current economic climate.

    The Co-op privilege current account traveller option gives you Airport Angel membership with 4 free lounge visits pa as well as travel/phone insurance for £9.50 per month. No use for the OP because of Denver, but might be useful for others.

    I thought loungepass.com was run by the same people as Prioritypass? - I always use them and they give access to many more lounges than anyone else around the world, but on 'pay as you go'.

    (edit: as per OP's request, Denver is included (Continental's Presidents club) @£20pp

    You can usually get 10% off loungepass via topcashback, egg etc.
