No More Plaza Premium Lounge Access with Priority Pass and Lounge Key Membership Programs from 01 July 2021
Plaza Premium Lounges are known to be a cut above the rest (where independent lounges are concerned) but Priority Pass and Lounge Key members will not be able to access them from 01 July 2021. If you currently hold a credit card that offers a complimentary Priority Pass or Lounge Key membership, it will no longer gain you access to Plaza Premium Lounges around the world from the aforementioned date.
If you are based in Singapore and you hold an American Express Platinum Card or an OCBC VOYAGE Card, you will continue to enjoy access to participating Plaza Premium Lounges around the world with your physical card. What this means however is that you may not be able to bring as many guests in (depending on which card you actually hold) to these lounges.
While most Plaza Premium Lounges are quite nice (I really enjoyed the Taipei and Shanghai ones in particular), the admission rates can be quite high as prices typically start from USD 50 for two-hour access.
