Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll talk about how to have free airport lounge access and how to sign up for the airport lounge program called Lounge Key. So before I start that, let's talk about the first thing how to have free airport lounge access. So you can access an airport lounge by two ways. If you have a business class or first class flight, then you get free access. You don't have to do anything. However, you don't have a business class or first class flight. Then you can access lounge by paying for that lounge at the gate. That's one way. And then there's the other way is that you can have credit cards which offer free lounge accesses and that's how you don't have to pay anything. So there are free credit cards which usually gives you like four lounge accesses, six lounge accesses or some of them will just give you the lounge pass. But each time you enter, you have to pay one time fee at the gate. So I recommend having credit cards which come with free lounge accesses. And today I'm going to show you a little bit about how to sign up for one of the programs which is called MasterCard Airport Experiences provided by Lounge Key. Now on the Canadian credit card markets, a few credit cards give you work with this lounge key program. So the sign up I'm going to be doing today is with my BMO World Elite MasterCard which gives you lounge key lounge access. So it comes with the annual membership plus four free lounge passes. So what it means that you can access lounge four times. And if you exit the four passes, then you have to just pay again each time you enter any lounge. Some other credit cards, for example the BMO World Elite MasterCard or Rogers World Elite MasterCard, they only give you the membership but not any free passes. So you have to just pay each time when you enter the lounge. And usually it runs from something like $27 to $31. I'm not exactly sure about the number but it's in that range. There are two airport lounge programs or the most two popular programs which are the priority pass lounge access program. And then the one you're looking at right now is the lounge key lounge access program. Some credit cards use priority pass and some credit cards use lounge key. The main difference between priority pass and lounge key is that priority pass has a little bit more access. A little bit more lounge access or more airports covered than lounge key. However, both of these are the same company or their parent company is the same and they are owned by the same parent company. And another difference with the priority pass is that if you do not have a credit card you can sign up for priority pass by going to their website. Then they have different plans. For example, they have just a pass and membership fee or they have free passes with another plan. Certain numbers of free passes and then they have one plan which is unlimited. However, with the lounge key lounge access program you will not be able to sign up unless you have a credit card which offers that program. So this is not for general public without a credit card but for priority pass you can sign up even if you don't have a credit card that is offering you a priority pass lounge access program. So if you have a lounge key credit card provider the first thing you are going to be doing in order to sign up for the program is that search Google by entering lounge key. And this is going to be your first match master card experience and then if you click on that then it will take you to the website where you need to be signed up. So in order to sign up here you will have to have your credit card because you have to enter that number and then it will give you send you an email to activate the account. So the first thing you do you just click on the create your account section and then you enter your credit card number right here and then you have to just complete some other information. And then once you you know completed everything that you receive an email in the email box then which you have to click on that email to verify your account. So once you verify your account you are done it will show you how many you know lounge access you have or how many you have used so far. And it will even give you a link to install the app on your phone which is recommended because you know it's going to be handy to enter the lounge if you have the app on your phone. Another minor difference with the launch key and the priority pass is that if you have launch key access program you don't need to have any membership number. If you just present your credit card and then they will be able to check it and let you in. But with priority pass you have to present them with your either digital a priority pass membership card or physical a party pass membership card. Now I love staying in lounges at the airports and then I have actually a lounge videos from around the world which I'll provide you a link below in the description box and you'll be able to see some of the lounges I have visited so far. So this is just an experience you don't want to pass by because at lounges you can have unlimited free food, drink, shower, some lounges even have hotels inside the lounge. For example if you look at my Turkish Airlines lounge in Istanbul then you'll see that they do have hotels inside the lounge where you can sleep or you can just rest. So lounge provides a lot of benefits and this just adds to a different dimension to your total trip experience. So before lounge airport is just like you know a airport experience would be just something you don't want to go through or you just want to pass the time to get to the plane. But once you have lounge access then you want to stay more at the airport or you have to enjoy the lounge more and you know check out all the offers and food and everything they have to offer.
