What is a LoungeKey Pass?

LoungeKey Pass is a digital voucher that gives access to up to 1,500+ airport lounges and travel experiences worldwide without the need for registration or membership. It allows travellers to relax and enjoy pre-flight time, turning the airport experience from an endurance into an indulgence.

LoungeKey Pass is designed with flexibility in mind. At this time, it is not possible to pre-book or guarantee entry in to a specific lounge or travel experience through LoungeKey Pass. Access will be granted in line with our partners’ conditions of entry. We recommend that you take note of these conditions of entry when searching for your chosen lounge or travel experience via LoungeKey’s Lounge Finder - LoungeKey’s Lounge Finder prior to travelling.

LoungeKey Pass is valid for twelve months from the date of purchase and is non-refundable.

Please note, dining options are excluded.

How do I purchase a LoungeKey Pass?

If you're looking to buy a LoungeKey Pass, the process is simple and easy:

  1. Choose the type of LoungeKey Pass that suits your travel needs – either Asia Pacific or Global.
  2. Enter the traveller’s details. NOTE: The name provided must exactly match the name on the traveller’s passport and boarding pass.
  3. Provide your payment information to make a secure online purchase using the listed payment methods. Once you've completed the payment process, you'll receive an email from noreply@email.loungekey.com containing a confirmation and QR code. Please be sure to bring these with you on your day of travel, as they’re required to gain entry to your chosen airport lounge or travel experience.

Can I purchase more than one pass at a time?

It is possible to buy multiple LoungeKey Passes in a single transaction. For instance, if you want to buy access to a lounge or travel experience for your return journey or your family members, you can add the required number of passes and enter the traveller details for each pass – ensuring the name exactly matches that of the traveller’s passport and boarding pass. Once you have added the passes, they will be displayed in your 'Cart' along with the total cost.

How does LoungeKey Pass work?

Once you have successfully purchased a LoungeKey Pass, an email containing a PDF attachment with a voucher/QR code will be sent to you via email (which is why it’s important that you provide an active email address when prompted). This code will allow you to access any lounge or travel experience within the LoungeKey programme.

It is important to note that each voucher/QR code is valid for only one lounge or travel experience visit and must be used within twelve months from the date of purchase. The type of LoungeKey Pass that you purchase determines whether the voucher can be used to gain access to airport lounges or travel experiences within Asia Pacific or Global. When accessing the lounge, please remember to present one voucher per guest, along with your travel documents and boarding pass.

What if I have problems making a purchase?

The purchase confirmation is instant, with a receipt and voucher sent to your given email address (please ensure that you provide an active email address when prompted). Should you experience any problems with any part of your booking, please use the contact us form

What does Schengen and non-Schengen mean?

The Schengen agreement is a set of agreements made by European states, which consequently has abolished border controls between most EU customer countries. At certain airports in signatory countries, there are designated areas for Schengen and non-Schengen flights.

In a few cases, where lounges are located within a Schengen area, you will only be able to access the lounge or travel experience if you are flying to another Schengen country. Equally, non-Schengen lounges can be accessed only if you are flying to a non-Schengen country.

Where applicable, the status of a lounge is clearly shown when you search via the LoungeKey Lounge Finder. At present the following countries participate in the scheme. It is worth noting that the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland are not currently signatories: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Why is the lounge receptionist asking me for my passport and boarding pass?

Traveller’s details on the LoungeKey Pass voucher must exactly match those shown on the traveller’s passport and boarding pass.
