Delayed Flight? Here’s How To Get Free Airport Lounge Access
If your flight is delayed on your next trip here’s a hack you need to know!
There’s nothing worse than getting to the airport with plenty of time only to have your flight delayed, meaning a one-hour wait around has now turned into four hours with seemingly no set answers.
Unfortunately, flight delays are cancellations are out of our control and something we’ll all probably have to deal with more than once in life. Luckily, there’s a hack that you should know about that means you’ll be able to spend your time waiting in an airport lounge rather than the standard departures area.
How can I get free airport lounge access?
If you’re an O2 or Virgin Media customer, you’re in luck as one of the perks of being a customer you can access this scheme! If your flight is delayed for longer than an hour, you and 3 friends or family members can take advantage of the little-known Priority Smart Delay scheme.
Priority Smart Delay offers entry to over 1,200 airport lounges globally, so if you are facing a flight delay at least you’ll be able to relax in style while you wait.
To take advantage of the scheme you’ll need to make sure you’ve signed up before you arrive at the airport by following these easy steps:
