From airport lounges to spas and sleep pods: 10 Priority Pass offerings Australian travellers should know

For many Australian frequent flyers, Priority Pass is one of the best-value travel perks included with premium credit cards. With access to more than 1,800 airport lounges and travel experiences in 841 airports worldwide, it goes well beyond the traditional lounge. Yes, there’s also sleep pods, cafés, spas and even gaming zones on offer.

Here’s a look at some of the most interesting international Priority Pass experiences that Australian travellers can access on their next trip.

This guide is brought to you in partnership with Priority Pass.

Sleep and recharge

Late-night flights and long connections are sometimes unavoidable. That’s when sleep pods and nap rooms come in very handy. Best of all, some are accessible with Priority Pass, with your membership unlocking up to four hours of access for no extra cost.

1. Capsule Transit, Kuala Lumpur

Long layovers through Kuala Lumpur International Airport don’t have to be uncomfortable. Capsule Transit offers a comfortable, single-bed resting ‘cubicle’, all accessible via Priority Pass. With locations at both Terminal 1 (landside) and Terminal 2 (landside and airside), chances are there’s one nearby. Bookings are essential.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: a 3-hour single bed booking for one person with a bath towel, dental kit, bottle of water, sleeping mask and earplugs. Valued at RM153 (~A$56) per person.

2. Sleepover, Dubai

Dubai’s Sleepover concept has become a favourite stopover option for long-haul travellers. From nap pods to cabins, guests can sleep, shower and recharge in peace.

Whether it’s a 2-hour power nap or a full night’s stay, you can take the time you need to feel refreshed. The sleep stations are conveniently located at DXB in four locations: Terminal 3, Concourses A, B and C, and Terminal 1, Concourse D.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: Terminal 1 guests will have access to a 2-hour stay in a single cabin (max. one passenger) or a 1-hour stay in a double cabin (max. two passengers) or a 1-hour stay in a single cabin plus shower use (max. one passenger). Check the Priority Pass website for the entitlements at other outlets.

Play, unwind and explore

Another point of difference that Priority Pass offers is access to unique airport experiences. Beyond access to airport lounges – you can also make the hours fly by with gaming, spa treatments and more.

3. Game Space, Dubai

Turn wait time into game time at Game Space in Dubai International Airport, redefining the idea of the pre-flight lounge. Featuring a variety of gaming stations with leading consoles and gaming PCs, it’s a tech-forward way to pass the time, whether you’re connecting on Emirates or any other airline departing from Terminal 3.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: Unlimited gameplay at one game station.

4. Tiger Den, Singapore

Singapore Changi Airport’s Tiger Den in Terminal 4 offers something a little different: a lively bar and restaurant serving Singapore’s own Tiger Beer and local street food. Priority Pass members receive SG$33.50 credit toward food and drinks, making it a fun alternative to the typical lounge experience.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: SG$33.50 credit for food or beverages

Also, if you have multiple (or unlimited) lounge visits, you could enjoy a meal here before retiring to the nearby Blossom Lounge to await your flight. This would require two separate visit allocations.

5. Gulf Spa, Bahrain

At Bahrain Airport Hotel, the Gulf Spa offers travellers a chance to recharge with professional massages, facials, and wellness treatments. It’s a thoughtful option for travellers looking to freshen up before continuing their journey.

Options that are included with Priority Pass include a 30-minute massage, a haircut and blow dry for men, or a hairwash and blow dry for ladies. The massage options include a de-stress back massage, reflex therapy for hands and legs, or an Indian head and shoulder massage.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: One of the treatment options mentioned above, valued at up to US$53.19 (~A$82).

Eat, relax and refresh at the airport

Of course, Priority Pass’ core offering is airport lounge access. Whether your travels take you to Asia or beyond, chances are there’s a lounge you can access somewhere. Here are some of the ones worth looking out for.

6. Kyra Lounge, Hong Kong

At Hong Kong International Airport, Kyra Lounge is an elegant space with quality dining and a calm, modern design, providing a welcome escape during busy transit periods.

It was also voted ‘Lounge of the Year’ in the Asia Pacific region at the Priority Pass Excellence Awards 2025. From these photos, it’s not hard to see why!

7. No.1 Lounge, London Heathrow

For travellers connecting through Heathrow’s Terminal 2, the sleek No.1 Lounge has a stylish design, comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, complimentary food and drinks, and charging ports. It’s a reliable and comfortable option before Singapore Airlines flights back to Asia, as well as many other Star Alliance partner airline flights, such as ANA to Tokyo.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: a 3-hour visit to the lounge.

8. The Vanda Lounge, Da Nang

The recently-renovated Vanda Lounge at Da Nang International Airport is a peaceful retreat offering buffet dining, drinks and views of the city. It’s an excellent option for travellers exploring central Vietnam before connecting back to Australia.

The lounge also has a kid’s zone for those travelling as a family.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: a 3-hour visit to the lounge.

9. Café Sky Library, Sapporo

At Sapporo New Chitose Airport in Japan, Café Sky Library offers a library-inspired café environment with curated books, high-quality coffee, alcoholic beverages and light meals. It’s a quiet space that feels far removed from the bustle of the terminal. This is Priority Pass’ first lounge in Sapporo.

Members and guests can enjoy an included set meal with soft drinks and one alcoholic drink per adult.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: a two-hour visit to the lounge, valid from 11am to 5pm daily (last entry at 3pm).

10. Blue Sky Premier Lounge, Bali

Located at Ngurah Rai International Airport, the Blue Sky Premier Lounge brings Balinese design and hospitality into the terminal. Travellers can enjoy a wide range of dishes, barista coffee and showers before flying domestically out of Bali to see more of Indonesia.

• What you get with one Priority Pass visit: a 3-hour visit to the lounge.

A growing focus on wellness

Priority Pass has been broadening its focus beyond traditional lounges to enhance travel wellbeing and relaxation. Travellers can now access TrvlWell, a digital wellness companion that supports a more holistic travel experience focused on wellbeing and recovery.

Built into the Priority Pass app, TrvlWell offers jet lag management and relaxation techniques, including online movement and mobility sessions, breathwork and meditation, mindful walking tracks, and curated content to support wellness on the go.

How to be a Priority Pass member

Australians can purchase Priority Pass membership directly, but many already have it bundled through premium cards. Frequent travellers could consider the:

• American Express Platinum Card – unlimited visits, including one guest (travel experiences, such as eateries, not included)
• MyCard Prestige Mastercard – 15 visits per year (including travel experiences)

For occasional travellers, these cards can make lounge access far better value than paying per visit.

• Amplify Signature Visa
• Westpac Altitude Black
• MyCard Premier
• David Jones Prestige Credit Card 
• Bank of Queensland Specialist Signature Credit Card (now with access to travel experiences such as spa, dining, sleep pods and more.) 

In Australia, Priority Pass members can access a selection of international lounges in major cities, along with food and beverage credits at selected cafés and restaurants. Check with your bank on your membership entitlements.

Priority Pass has evolved far beyond the basic airport lounge to offer spaces to rest, play, dine and unwind between flights, elevating every journey into something special.

Whether it’s a craft beer in Singapore, a sleep pod in Dubai, or a wellness spa in Bahrain, Australians can find something different on nearly every major route – and often, it’s all included with the right rewards card.
