Updated November 2026: Dragonpass has replaced its old Classic and Preferential memberships with three new plans: Solo Travel, Better Travel and Travel Together. I’ve updated this comparison to reflect the new prices and benefits.
Trying to decide between Dragonpass and Priority Pass for airport lounge access?
The right choice depends on how often you fly, where you travel and who you travel with. I’ve used both airport lounge memberships, and in this article I’ll compare them side by side so you can decide which one is best for you.
Read on to find out everything you need to know about Dragon Pass vs Priority Pass.
Quick Answer: Dragonpass vs Priority Pass (2027)
If you want the short version:
👉 For frequent solo travellers, Priority Pass is still the best choice.
Here’s why:
- ✔ More lounges available to members
- ✔ Lowest cost per visit if you use lounges 8 or more times a year
- ✔ Unlimited visits option with Prestige membership
- ✔ 24/7 UK customer service
👉 Dragonpass is the better choice if:
- You use lounges between 2 and 7 times a year (the Solo Travel plan is £59 with 2 lounge visits included).
- Couples and families who fly a few times a year because the new plans let you share your passes with guests
If you only fly once a year, skip membership altogether and pre-book with Loungepair instead.”

My Professional Verdict
- After 38 years in travel and hundreds of airport departures, Priority Pass remains my favourite travel upgrade.
- It turns airports from uncomfortable, noisy, stressful places into a treat. It helps me deal with pre-flight anxiety and lets me make good use of my time by getting some work done.
- However, Dragonpass’s new memberships are a real improvement. If you only use lounges a few times a year, or travel with a partner or family, they’re now well worth a look.

💡 MY EXPERIENCE: “I’ve used Priority Pass at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester. The Standard Plus membership paid for itself after just 4 trips. At £20.60 per visit, it’s cheaper than a meal in the airport, and you get the meal included!” ✈

Do You Need a Lounge Membership at All?
If you only use an airport lounge once a year, a membership isn’t worth it. You’re better off buying a one-off lounge pass online.
My go-to for this is Loungepair. You pre-book a pass for the specific lounge you want, with no annual fee and no membership to remember to cancel.
- Typical cost: around £30 to £45 per visit at major UK airports. That’s usually much cheaper than the walk-up price at the lounge door.
- Flexible: many passes can be changed or cancelled for a refund if your plans change.
- Wide choice: you can choose from lounges that aren’t always in the membership schemes.
- Watch out for supplements: some lounges charge an extra fee on the day, so check the small print before you book.
My rule of thumb:
- 1 lounge visit a year: Loungepair
- 2 to 3 visits a year: Dragonpass Solo Travel works out cheapest if your airport’s lounges are in its network. Loungepair is the flexible alternative.
- 4 to 7 visits a year: Dragonpass Solo Travel
- 8 to 18 visits a year: Priority Pass Standard Plus
- 19 or more visits a year: Priority Pass Prestige
- Get lounge access for free: check with your bank card/credit card already includes it
DragonPass vs Priority Pass If You Travel Solo
Here’s what each option costs depending on how many times a year you use a lounge.

| 2 | £59 | £96 | £206 | £419 | Dragonpass Solo |
| 3 | £88 | £120 | £206 | £419 | Dragonpass Solo |
| 4 | £117 | £144 | £206 | £419 | Dragonpass Solo |

Priority Pass prices use my exclusive reader rates. Dragonpass Solo Travel is £59 with 2 visits included, then £29 per extra visit. Priority Pass Standard is £48 plus £24 per visit. Standard Plus is £206 with 10 visits included, then £24 per extra visit. Loungepair prices vary by lounge, and some lounges charge a supplement on the day. Pre-booking fees are not included.
Dragonpass Better Travel and Travel Together aren’t the cheapest options for solo lounge visits. Their value comes from sharing passes with others and using them for Fast Track or dining.

|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul (IST) | 3 | 3 | Same iGA lounges with both |
| Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) | 1 | 1 | Poor for both. Dragonpass: Salon Paris (Terminal 2C, 2pm to 10pm only). Priority Pass: YotelAir (Terminal 2E, non-Schengen flights only) |

Dragonpass vs Priority Pass at London Gatwick Airport
Gatwick is a great example of how the two schemes compare in practice, because both cover most of the same lounges, but not all of them.

Travelling as a Couple?
If you’re flying from Gatwick North with your partner:
- Dragonpass Better Travel: you’d use 2 of your 8 passes. That’s 1 for you and 1 for your guest, with no extra charge.
- Priority Pass Standard Plus: you’d use 1 of your 10 included visits, and pay £24 for your guest.
Things to Know at Gatwick
- Priority Pass gives you access to 8 lounges compared to Dragonpass’s 5. That makes a real difference at busy times, especially in the South Terminal, where Priority Pass has twice as many options.
- The Clubrooms lounges charge Priority Pass members an extra £15 per visit on top of the visit itself.
- Visit lengths vary by lounge. The Plaza Premium Lounge allows 2 hours with Priority Pass, while most other lounges allow 3.
- Gatwick lounges get very busy during school holidays, so pre-booking is worth the extra fee if you’re travelling at peak times.
Dragonpass vs Priority Pass FAQs
Do both Priority Pass and Dragonpass work internationally?
Yes, both passes work internationally. However, there are some variations in the number of lounges available on different continents.
Can I pre-book lounges with these passes?
Both passes let you pre-book lounges that are generally very busy. The small booking fee means you are guaranteed entry and won’t be turned away.
Is Dragonpass or Priority Pass better in the UK?
Priority Pass has more lounges at some major UK airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Dragonpass is slightly cheaper if you’re travelling with others, as you can share your passes.
Can I bring a guest with Dragonpass?
Yes, on the Better Travel (1 guest) and Travel Together (up to 5 guests) plans. Each guest visit uses one of your passes. Solo Travel passes are for your own use only.
Can I use Dragonpass for Fast Track security?
Yes, on Better Travel and Travel Together you can use a pass for Fast Track security at participating airports instead of a lounge visit.
What’s the best option if I only fly once or twice a year?
For a single lounge visit, don’t buy a membership. Pre-book a one-off pass with Loungepair. If you make 2 or 3 visits a year, Dragonpass Solo Travel (£59 with 2 visits included) is good value, as long as the lounges at your usual airports are in its network.
Is food and drink free in Dragonpass and Priority Pass lounges?
Most food and drink is included, but some lounges charge for premium drinks or extras. Find out more in my guides to whether drinks are free in Priority Pass lounges and whether everything is free in an airport lounge.
Dragonpass vs Priority Pass: Which Is Best? Final Verdict
- If you only use a lounge once a year, skip membership and pre-book a one-off pass with Loungepair.
- Dragonpass Solo Travel is now the cheapest option if you use lounges 2 to 7 times a year.
- Dragonpass is slightly cheaper for couples and families, and lets you share passes with guests and use them for Fast Track or dining.
- Priority Pass has more lounges available to travellers, including more lounges in the UK.
- For 8 to 18 lounge visits a year, Priority Pass Standard Plus is the cheapest option (£206 with my reader rate).
- For 19 or more visits a year, Priority Pass Prestige gives you unlimited lounge visits for £419, which is great value.
Final Verdict
If you use lounges 8 or more times a year on your own, Priority Pass offers more lounges, and the lowest cost, especially with my reader rate. If you use lounges 2 to 7 times a year, or fly with your partner or family, the new Dragonpass memberships are the better buy. And if it’s just one trip, a one-off Loungepair pass is all you need.
