Here, we\u2019ll share how lounge passes work with credit cards\u2014and how to make your next trip feel more luxurious.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are airport lounge passes?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Airport lounges turn one of the most tedious facets of travel\u2014waiting at the airport\u2014into an upgraded experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While lounges differ, they generally offer better seating than at the gate (comfy couches rather than hard plastic seats), along with tables and chairs, so you and your companions can relax between flights. Lounges also offer reliable WiFi, and may even have workspaces to plug into work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most lounges also offer refreshments, from snacks to full meals\u2014a more convenient way to grab a bite than trekking around with your suitcase looking for a restaurant.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you access airport lounges?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many airlines sell lounge passes, but they\u2019re pricey: upwards of $50. Since each person needs a pass to enter the lounge, the cost for a family or a group can quickly climb into the hundreds of dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, most lounges are linked to a lounge program. To use them, you need to have a membership and a pass. This means you may have to pay membership costs on top of the pass fee to access the lounge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s how credit cards can make lounge access easy&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most convenient ways to add lounge access to your itinerary is to have a credit card that includes it in its travel rewards. While each card comes with its own set of perks, your credit card may offer:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Lounge membership\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Access to the lounge a set number of times per year, as part of your card benefits\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>The option to purchase additional passes at a discount once you\u2019ve exceeded your allotment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your credit card may have additional benefits that enhance lounge access. For example, some cards allow the holder to bypass long security lines and use the fast-track lane\u2014which means more time to relax in the lounge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mar-b-hlf has-rbc-bright-blue-tint-4-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Compare Travel Credit Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Browse and compare a variety of different travel credit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons mar-b-hlf is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary primary btn before\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/credit-cards\/travel.html\" data-dig-id=\"LP-92777-2e3177bc\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"button click\" data-dig-label=\"Travel Credit Cards-https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/credit-cards\/travel.html \">Travel Credit Cards<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"rbc-link-format goto-link\" data-icon-class=\"goto-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/credit-cards\/tools\/credit-card-reward-points-calculator\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-85772-66e6827d\" data-dig-label=\"Cash Back Calculator\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-category=\"LP\">Travel Rewards Calculator<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RBC luxury travel credit cards offer lounge access through DragonPass&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/credit-cards\/travel\/rbc-avion-visa-infinite-privilege.html\" data-dig-id=\"LP-92777-bb90fb07\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"luxury travel credit card\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">luxury travel credit card<\/a>\u00a0from RBC with travel rewards, you may have flexible options to access airport lounges with DragonPass.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With DragonPass, you can:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>\u00a0Use more than 1,200\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.dragonpass.com.cn\/airports\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-92777-f5f12df4\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"global airport lounges\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">global airport lounges<\/a>, including 21 lounges in Canada and Plaza Premium Lounges\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>&nbsp;Enjoy a lounge membership, with up to six lounge passes per year&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>&nbsp;Purchase additional passes for a discounted fee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to access your lounge benefits&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While credit cards may offer access to DragonPass, you\u2019ll still need to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.dragonpass.com.cn\/register\/index\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-92777-d7283c80\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"enroll in the program online\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">enroll in the program online<\/a>\u00a0or via the DragonPass app. We recommend enrolling as soon as you get your card so you\u2019re equipped with lounge access from the start.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re enrolled, entering the lounge is easy: Simply present your membership card, the QR code for your pass (either printed or on your device) and your rewards credit card at the lounge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a Mastercard, DragonPass is available through Mastercard Travel Pass; with Visa, you can find it under the Visa Airport Companion Program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to compare credit cards with lounge access&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each credit card offers a unique combination of rewards, so it\u2019s important to shop around to find one with the kind of benefits you want.
