Priority Pass sends out a monthly email announcing their new lounges. It’s nice to see Priority Pass expanding the lounges in their program, which means more lounges for The Platinum Card® from American Express cardholders like myself to benefit from.

Bottom Line
You can gain access to Priority Pass Select for free by being a cardholder of The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express OPEN. Remember that you need to ask Amex to register you for Priority Pass after you receive your card. This is just another great benefit of Amex Platinum card.
Will any of the new lounges listed above help with your travel?

I really wish they would add the escape lounge at Oakland International (OAK) as well. Priority Pass- If you’re watching, please accommodate those of us who use OAK regularly. Thank you!
I honestly don’t get Priority Pass’ expansion strategy in the US. Wouldn’t it make more sense to provide a lounge access at the top main airport in close to every state vs having 2-6 lounges available in few select states? So annoying… but I guess at least they are growing slowly, so hopefully they’ll eventually get there I suppose.
I don’t think PP is a one size fits all:over the past year I’ve been on the road for 6+ months, and I can only make use of it when I’m outside of the USA.
