Anybody on here have a priority pass for airport lounges ? I am just about to be travelling every other week for a new contract so think it might be useful .. Online reviews are pretty mixed so not sure ps can you also claim as an expense ?

Can't expense, but what airline are you flying with?
Unless they are a budget carrier, they will have a loyalty program. You'll soon build up enough points to get into a lounge even flying economy.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymore -

Also depends on where/when you are flying
I have flown quite a bit with work - never quite enough to get enough points on anyone's loyalty scheme
Having said that mine were mainly domestic or short haul European flights
I think if I was doing long haul and wanted to freshen up in between flights may be useful otherwise there is always a quiet corner you can find to grab a coffee n surf the web for an hourComment

I get it free with my bank account which I also get free because of the sufficient turnover

You can easily arrive at the airport with 1 hour before your flight, check in and by the time you have cleared security you will be able to go the loo, grab a bottle of water or something and bob is your uncle
By all means find the lounge and use a loyalty programme but not sure it is really going to offer you that much - unless you like to arrive early and spend time in the lounge although I imagine the flybe lounge at Edinburgh is not the most luxurious of places..Comment

I'll go first, Emirates Business Lounge at Dubai

I did 18 months of flying Gatwick - Strasbourg.
Like most airlines, if you do enough flights, you get up the pecking order. 40+ returns per year got me platinum, entrance to the lounge and enough miles for some free flights to the US…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
