3 Reasons Priority Pass is a Must-Have for Family Travel: A Las Vegas Lounge Experience

Upgrade your family travel experience with Priority Pass! Traveling with a family can be stressful, but with Priority Pass, you can make your airport experience much more enjoyable.

Let's explore three reasons why Priority Pass is a must-have benefit, particularly when traveling with kids. We'll use our recent experience at the Club LAS lounge in Las Vegas Terminal 1 as an example. You can find detailed directions in the Priority Pass app.

1. Family-Friendly Facilities

One of the biggest advantages of Priority Pass lounges is their often superior facilities compared to public airport terminals. At Club LAS, we found the restrooms to be cleaner, larger, and more family-friendly. This made it much easier and more sanitary to change diapers and attend to the needs of our young children. Additionally, the lounge offered showers (perfect for a quick freshen-up after a long flight or a diaper blowout), lockers for storing luggage, and plenty of space for strollers.

2. Complimentary Food and Beverages

This is a no-brainer. Traveling with a family can quickly add up when it comes to food and drink expenses. Priority Pass lounges offer a great solution. At Club LAS, we enjoyed a complimentary buffet with various options like veggies, soups, salads, fruit, coffee, and tea. The lounge also had a bar where we could order sodas or alcoholic beverages. For those who prefer a sit-down meal, the lounge offered QR codes at each table, allowing us to order drinks from the bar or small plates from the menu. By utilizing the lounge's food and beverage offerings, we were able to save a significant amount of money on our family's meals. I estimate this to save around $60 to $80 for a family of 4.

3. Relaxation and Comfort

Priority Pass lounges often provide a much more comfortable and relaxing environment than the crowded gate areas. At Club LAS, we found the seating to be more comfortable, the atmosphere to be quieter, and the overall space to be more spacious. This made it easier for our kids to eat and stretch out. And if you have a baby it's a better environment for them to sleep.  Additionally, the lounge offered cleaner and more private areas, which could be helpful if your spouse is breastfeeding. Also clean filtered water is available for baby formula mixing.

In conclusion, Priority Pass can be a game-changer for family travel. By providing access to comfortable lounges with family-friendly facilities, complimentary food and beverages, and a more relaxing atmosphere, Priority Pass can help reduce stress and make your airport experience more enjoyable.
