The Perfect Travel Gift: How to Give Airport Lounge Access with LoungePair

Looking for a gift that stands out from the usual travel accessories and luggage tags? Airport lounge access is the ultimate travel upgrade, and now, with LoungePair, you can give the gift of comfort, relaxation, and premium amenities at over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. 

Whether it's for a business traveller who deserves a break, a family member embarking on their dream holiday, or a friend who's always on the go, consider giving the gift of lounge access.

Airport lounges transform the travel experience. Instead of crowded terminals and overpriced food courts, your gift recipient gets: 

• Comfortable seating and a peaceful environment away from the terminal chaos 

• Complimentary food and beverages, including hot meals, snacks, and premium drinks 

• Fast, reliable Wi-Fi for work or entertainment 

• Shower facilities at many lounges for freshening up 

• A quiet space to work, relax, or simply enjoy a moment of calm before the flight 

LoungePair offers two flexible options for gifting lounge access, so you can choose what works best for your situation. 

Option 1: LoungePair Gift Cards 

Gift cards are perfect when you want to give someone the freedom to choose their own lounge experience. They're ideal for: 

• Frequent travellers who visit multiple airports 

• People with upcoming travel plans that aren't yet finalised 

• Birthdays, Christmas, or special occasions when you want a thoughtful present 

• Corporate gifts for clients or employees 

How it works: 

1. Login or create an account 

2. Visit www.loungepair.com/gift-cards  

3. Choose your preferred gift card value from the available options 

4. Enter the recipient's email address to send it directly, or leave it blank to send later from your account 

5. Complete your purchase. The gift card is delivered instantly via email 

Gift cards are valid for one year from purchase and can be used towards any lounge pass at any of our 1,400+ partner lounges worldwide. Recipients can find and manage their gift cards in the 'Gift Cards' section of their LoungePair account. 

Option 2: Purchase a Pass and Share It 

If you know when and where someone is travelling, you can purchase a specific lounge pass and share it directly with them. This option is great for: 

• Surprising someone before a specific trip 

• Booking for family members travelling together 

• Travel agents or assistants booking on behalf of clients 

• Anyone who wants complete control over the booking details 

How it works: 

1. Search for a lounge at the traveller's departure airport 

2. Select your preferred currency, number of guests, and choose whether to make the pass refundable (recommended if travel plans may change) 

3. Click Proceed to Checkout and enter your email in the Booking Email field 

4. Complete payment with your credit card 

5. Add the traveller's name to the pass, or leave it for them to add (especially useful when booking multiple passes for a group) 

6. Share the order using our built-in share options 

Once you've purchased a lounge pass, LoungePair makes it incredibly easy to share with the traveller. From the order details page, you have multiple options: 

• Share Order: Give someone full access to view the pass and manage the order, including adding or changing the name on a pass.

• WhatsApp, Messenger, LINE, or Telegram: Share instantly via popular messaging apps 

• Device share menu: Use AirDrop, Messages, or your device's other native sharing options 

The traveller receives all the details they need: lounge location, opening hours, directions, and their QR code for entry. No LoungePair account is required for them to access the lounge. 

• Consider the timing: If you're purchasing a specific pass, make sure to check the lounge's opening hours (displayed on the booking page) to ensure it matches the traveller's flight schedule. 

• Check the terminal: Airports with multiple terminals often have lounges in different locations, and access may depend on the traveller’s journey.  

  • For example, are they flying internationally or domestically? Are they in transit between flights, or departing from a specific terminal? In European airports, consider whether they’re travelling within the Schengen zone or to a non-Schengen destination, as lounges are often separated by these zones.  

  • Confirm the exact terminal and zone the traveller will be departing from to ensure you buy a lounge pass that matches their travel plans. 

• Consider refundable passes: If the traveller's plans might change, select the refundable option at checkout for peace of mind. 

• Gift cards for flexibility: Not sure about the details? A gift card lets the recipient choose their own lounge at a time that suits them. 

• Names can be updated: Don't worry if you misspell a name or need to change it. Both you and the pass holder can update names directly on the order screen. 

• Add a personal touch: When you share a pass or gift card, include a message letting them know about the gift. The surprise of discovering lounge access before a trip is part of the joy! 

With LoungePair, your gift isn't limited to a single location. Recipients can use their gift card or receive passes for lounges across the globe, from major international hubs to regional airports. Whether they're travelling for business or pleasure, domestic or international, there's likely a LoungePair partner lounge at their airport.
