There\u2019s nothing better than starting a holiday with a little bit of luxury in an airport lounge. Fortunately, it\u2019s easy to book one online by using a dedicated service such as Dragon Pass.<\/p>
Founded in 2005, Dragon Pass is a service that enables travellers to book access to airport lounges across the globe. The company offers access to more than 1,300 airport lounges in over 700 airports across more than 140 countries. Additional benefits include dining, limousine and meet-and-greet services.<\/p>
Signing up for a Dragon Pass membership also gives you exclusive discounts of up to 25% at airport restaurants around the world, and you can receive personalised recommendations on which lounges and restaurants to visit based on your preferences and current location. <\/p>
Facilities within each airport lounge vary but often include refreshments, TV, complimentary internet access, showers and flight status updates. Each lounge will also have its own policy on whether it allows children into the lounge.<\/p>
You can either buy single lounge passes for certain airport lounges or sign up for an annual membership. There are 3 different membership options to choose from, depending on how often you travel. Each one offers a certain number of free airport lounge visits, plus selected discounts and preferential rates on airport transfers. <\/p>
Once you\u2019ve chosen which membership you want, simply click through to buy it. You\u2019ll need to present your membership at the airport lounge to be granted access. If you\u2019ve used up all your free visits, you can purchase a single lounge pass or add additional visits to your membership in the app or via the website to access the lounge. <\/p>
If you\u2019re buying single lounge passes rather than a membership, you\u2019ll need to create an account with Dragon Pass, select your chosen airport and airport lounge, select how many passes you want, enter some personal details and then click through to pay. Your pass will be accessible by clicking the order in \u201cMy order history\u201d, and it will be valid for 90 days. If you don\u2019t use it, you can cancel your order and get a refund. <\/p>
