Over the past year, we have seen a number of domestic & international airport restaurants join the Priority Pass lounge network. This is an exciting trend if you are a Priority Pass member, as these restaurants offer substantial credits that allow you to dine for free during your travels.

On Friday, Priority Pass added three new restaurants to their network. Two at Houston's George Bush International Airport (IAH), and one at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Bottom Line

It's great to see Priority Pass continue to add restaurants as a part of program membership. They seem to be filling gaps in airports without a traditional Priority Pass lounge option or in this case adding more options to airports with lounges in place. This is just another way in which I justify the annual fee on my Chase Sapphire Reserve card.
