How does the LoungeKey Mastercard Airport Experiences program work? ›

How do I get into a LoungeKey lounge? No membership card is required, unlike Priority Pass

You'll need to inform the lounge staff that you are a LoungeKey member. A boarding pass and a form of identification are also required. The name on your card, the boarding pass and the ID must match. If the card is active, and free visits are available, you can visit the business lounge without paying a fee ($32).

The lounge attendant swipes the MasterCard on the LoungeKey card reader device to verify that the Cardholder is eligible for entry. Alternately, their payment card number may be entered via a keyboard into a secure web portal.

There are two ways to access lounges. First, you can simply present your eligible Mastercard and mention LoungeKey to the lounge staff. Or alternatively, you can present your digital lounge access code available after you register for an online account either on the website or app.

The World Mastercard Lounge Program gives you access to over 1000 airport lounges in more than 450 cities in over 135 countries worldwide.

– For Signature cards: Access to over 1000 airport lounges in more than 300 cities around the world for 12 visits in a calendar year for a cardholder only. – For Platinum cards: Access to 25 airport lounges around the world for 6 visits in a calendar year for a cardholder only.

Cardholders who do not reserve a place in one of our lounges access is subject to availability on the day. At times, our lounges are very popular, so reserving your place if you have a Priority Pass, Lounge Key or Dragon Pass membership is the perfect way to ensure we can welcome you.

Well, checking if your credit card grants you entry to these havens of tranquillity is simpler than you might think.

There is no need to register prior to visiting the lounge; simply present your Visa card to the lounge staff for the lounge staff to process your visit. There are over 1,400 lounges globally to choose from.

Present Confirmation at Lounge: Upon reaching the lounge, present the confirmation (physical or digital) along with the eligible credit card to gain entry. Some lounges may also require a boarding pass.
