I recently renewed my Premium membership with the thought that the lounge passes would be worth the extra but now looking at just about any lounge in the US and beginning to wonder if it’s even worth it for those based in the US. Has anyone in the States been to a lounge via THS lounge pass that has been good?
Yes, it’s the same for our local airport in the UK and the one we usually fly into in Spain. The upgrade/premium definitely isn’t worth it for the lounge passes.
I’m not sure why THS seem to think it’s an incentive. The last minute cancellation is okay on the insurance, but the likelihood of ever needing it is very very slim. The one and only thing that made our upgrade worth it, was because we had already referred a lot of people to THS, so all of our future years at premium are free of charge anyway, so then all of those airport lounges will add up over the years.
My main airport is Chicago O’Hare and there is not a lounge on the list there. I use my lounge passes if I have a long layover. I’ve used them twice at Heathrow and twice in Dublin.
For US domestic flights you can use The Club SFO,The Club LAS and the Club MCO that I know of. I’ve used it at the SFO one and the food/drinks were really nice, but it was super crowded.
Yep. We’ve had premium membership for the cancelation insurance but the lounge passes sounded good…have not been able to use it once in 4 years bc the airports we tend to have layovers in (in the US) don’t have a participating lounge. We have flown internationally every year for the past 4 years - all with US connections and never got to use it.
Not worth it.
We have 2 passes a year with Chase Bank and have used those, however.
The Club properties look to be pretty rubbish and have terrible reviews! Not sure how many airports in the US use those but two major airports I was looking at flying out of do and I just won’t book either.
I used one lounge pass in London this spring and it was just okay, food was subpar but the drinks made up for it, or I made sure the drinks made up for it, anyway!
For those not using their lounge passes, you do have the option to give them away
How do you give them away?
Just give membership services the details of who you want to give them to, ( name, date, airport, flight number etc) then forward the passes to whoever you want to give them to, when you get them
