Newark Airport Lounges
« on: October 11, 2011, 02:09:01 PM »
www.prioritypass.com seems to indicate the only lounges they have an agreement with in Newark are United which as of October 1, they don't give access to ppass select members who obtained there memberships through a financial institution.

Anyone try gaining access after October 1st?

How do they know how your membership was obtained?

If not, any tips on how to get into another? I'm flying Porter and don't have status.

Reread their terms.  This applies to PP Select Members AND those who obtained their memberships through a financial institution.

So if your card says "Select" on it (as does the three cards I received from the Amex Plat), then you're out of luck.

Edit: I hit reply too soon....I did try the Select card on 10/3 in CLE and got denied....although you could still try and report back here.  The worst that can happen is they won't let you in.

for those flying EL_AL out of EWR lounge is really bad news as is in temporary corner right before going thru security at end of terminal but has kosher pastry,coffee,tea etc   
continental lounge very comfortable though besides pretzels/penuts  nothing really kosher

amex cancelled platinum card should work at co lounge   last i heard(over a year ago) unless they got more  technolgically advanced

With the Platinum Lounge Benefit, enjoy complimentary access to participating lounges for you, your spouse, and two children1 or a travel companion. This provides you with access to Plaza PremiumSM Lounges and Servisair Executive Lounges regardless of the type of fare purchased or the airline booked. Simply show your Business Platinum Card, your boarding pass, and if requested, government issued identification for lounge access.

AMEX Plat only works for AA, DL and US lounges.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I'm flying Jet Blue next week from EWR, can I access the United Lounge in Terminal A2 from he Jet Blue gates? Jet Blue flies from Terminal A as well. Is it the same concourse? Can I travel freely between concourses?

No United Clubs in Terminal 2, that is that there is no terminal 2 at EWR. United club is at terminal A & C, jetBlue flies from A

two types of priority passes - some lounges only let you in with the "paid" version
you can only make a first impression ONCE

Question: Flying EL AL tom. out of EWR. I have Amex Plat, PP, Turkish *A Gold, Sky Team Gold. Can I get into the SAS Lounge in terminal b without a *A BP?

I can also print out a Delta BP for a flight I'm not using out of JFK for the same day. Any chance that will get me into the Delta lounge with amex plat and/or Gold Medallion status?

TIA!

Should, yep.

All you need for DL lounge is Plat + DL BP.
