Lounges

We checked the access programs on every lounge in the Lounge Frog Top 100. DragonPass opens one more than Priority Pass, and Singapore has five.

Priority Pass comes with a lot of travel credit cards. So we asked a simple question of our own data: how many of the best lounges on Lounge Frog will actually let a Priority Pass member in?

The answer is 21 out of 100. And only two of them are in the United States.

How we counted

We pulled the Lounge Frog Top 100 on October 18, 2026. It ranks lounges by their overall score, which is the plain average of up to 15 rated metrics, from seating to showers. You can read how that works in how Lounge Frog ratings work.

For each of the 100 lounges, we checked the access programs saved in its Lounge Frog record. We then counted how many list each network or alliance. The leaderboard changes as new ratings come in, so these counts are a snapshot of that day.

Access rules can change faster than any database. Always check the Priority Pass app for the exact lounge before you go.

The scoreboard

Here is how many of the 100 top-rated lounges list each major way in:

Access programLounges in the Top 100

DragonPass22
Priority Pass21
LoungeKey21
Star Alliance lounge access17
SkyTeam lounge access9

Another 11 lounges list no network or alliance access at all in our records. These are mostly premium-cabin spaces, such as the Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich and the Delta One Lounge at JFK.

The surprise is at the top of the card networks. In our records, DragonPass opens one more Top 100 lounge than Priority Pass. Two lounges list DragonPass but not Priority Pass: Encalm Privé in Delhi and the Oryx Lounge South in Doha. One lounge lists Priority Pass but not DragonPass: the Espaço Banco Safra Lounge in São Paulo.

Singapore wins. The US barely shows up

Singapore Changi has five Priority Pass lounges in the Top 100, more than any other airport. Heathrow, São Paulo and Cancún have two each.

The US story is the opposite. The Top 100 holds 36 lounges at US airports. Only two of them list Priority Pass: the Primeclass Lounge at JFK and The Club LAS in Concourse E. The rest of the top US lounges are airline clubs, bank lounges such as Centurion and Capital One, and premium-cabin spaces.

What this means for your wallet

If Priority Pass is your only lounge benefit, it works best abroad. Six Priority Pass lounges score 4.9 on Lounge Frog, and none of them is in the US.

At home, a Priority Pass card often gets you into a good lounge, but rarely a top-rated one. If you fly mostly from US hubs and want the best rooms, our data says you need something more: airline status, a club membership or a card with its own lounge network. Compare your options on the Priority Pass page and the DragonPass page.
