Launched this month, the Plaza Premium Lounge Pass (PPL Pass) by Plaza Premium Group is a digital means of enabling travellers to purchase airport lounge access and save up to 50% off standard walk-in rates. The PPL Pass can be purchased online via Plaza Premium Lounge’s official website or via the Smart Traveller website, and then activated, stored, redeemed and shared via Plaza Premium Group’s Smart Traveller app – the world’s first global loyalty and membership programme built for air travellers and airport users.
 
Travellers can directly and conveniently access Plaza Premium Lounges with PPL Pass
The new PPL Pass enhances the customer experience by providing travellers with a contactless, stress-free and safe pre-departure journey.  The pass gives travellers direct access to over 60 Plaza Premium Lounges globally, the largest award-winning independent airport lounge network set to expand to over 500 lounges worldwide (including the Group’s own branded-lounge and airline affiliates) by 2024/25. The seamless lounge offering brings customers better value, convenience, and customisation, and can be shared with friends and family for their use when travelling. Valid for 12 months upon activation, the Pass is available for purchase via Plaza Premium Lounge’s official website as well as via the Smart Traveller website. The pass can be purchased for two, four, or six lounge visits, at USD75, USD150, and USD198 respectively. For a limited time only, Smart Traveller members can enjoy an exclusive Early Bird offer until 31 May 2021, whereby PPL Pass can be purchased at a further 10% discount and with additional Arrture points.
 
The PPL Pass is fully integrated with Smart Traveller, Plaza Premium Group’s global membership programme, providing travellers with a digitally driven experience in a single platform, and the best way of earning Arrture points and redeeming rewards. The pass offers a contactless end-to-end experience including lounge access and contactless transactions. Conveniently stored in the Smart Traveller app (or via QR code for non-Smart Traveller members), the PPL Pass can be easily retrieved when travelling.
 
After activation, the PPL Passes are automatically added to ‘My Wallet’ in the Smart Traveller app. To redeem, travellers present their Pass at the lounge reception for entry. Airport lounges are now an essential service in the airport, as they provide a safe and relaxing space where interactions with other airport users are minimized. Plaza Premium Lounges provide the highest-quality experience, including the use of lounge bays, shower facilities, all-day locally inspired meals and beverages*, free Wi-Fi and charging points. With health and safety of guests and staff as the top priority, Plaza Premium Lounges have reinforced their hygiene protocols and wellbeing initiatives with the ‘We Care for Your Wellbeing’ programme that includes a series of extensive measures such as social distancing, frequent sanitisation, temperature checks, and contactless experiences such as Smart-Order and digital reading materials.
