I recently had an eight hour layover at Washington DC's Dulles International Airport (IAD). I decided to visit and review each and every Priority Pass Lounge/Restaurant there (as of July 2024). I'll cover how to get to each one, go over the rules for access, and give you my honest thoughts about the merits of each lounge.

Thank you Mel! IAD & DCA are my home airports.

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

Oh good! I hope it was useful then! I used to live in the DC area too before moving to Chicago 😁

This was great Mel!!. We had a 12 hours layover at Dulles and we visited the capital one , Etihad and Turkish lounges. Glad we chose those, Best experience ever.

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

You chose very wisely!! Turkish and Ethiad were definitely the top Priority Pass lounges, imo, and I loved the Capital one Lounge! Glad you enjoyed your time in all three!

What did you like the best?

@tityz7913 Месяц назад

This is so awesome!! I did 4 lounge hopping when I was in Bangkok and I got tired 😂

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

It was definitely a very busy day for me 😂 But once I decide to start something, I'm pretty stubborn about finishing haha!

@davidcole333 Месяц назад

Mel, you crack me up, I think you're a lounge-a-holic! What a superb video, I really enjoyed it.

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

I think you might be right 😂 I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed the video! :)

Great video, despite the quirks of the lounges the variety is putting ORD to shame

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

Right?!?? I'm so sad that my home airport doesn't offer any decent Priority Pass options 😭

I visited three of the lounges when I was at Dulles in June: AF, CS/Etihad, and Turkish Air. Air France must have changed things up since I was there - I was able to sit in the main lounge with Priority Pass. It looks like there are fewer seats than there were just a month prior, so they must have moved some of them down to the basement. They had Taittinger champagne freely flowing at the bar - so good. I agree that the food in the main room was great too. The CS/Etihad lounge was just meh for me in terms of the food, but I'm a pescetarian. The cocktails were great though - they have great options at the bar. Turkish Air's food continues to be my favorite of the three - excellent hummus, pita, salads, etc. The Priority Pass app currently says that there's a three-hour time limit at the Turkish Air lounge, not three hours prior to your flight. I've been admitted twice with more than three hours until my flight. Great to see the other lounges that you visited!

Very interesting about the Air France lounge. Maybe they changed because there are so many people traveling this summer. I would love to see this change reversed if/when things start to slow down! :)

@tonimiller5497 Месяц назад

Excellent informative video, thank you! If you are ever in Newark, Chicago or San Francisco (where we will be travelling next year 😂), it would be great to see the lounges there too 👍

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

I'm glad you liked it, and I'll keep Newark and San Francisco in mind for future tours. As for Chicago, that's my home airport and I'm sorry to say they are lacking in the lounge department 😭 Only one Priority Pass lounge, and it's in the international terminal. They have a great United Polaris lounge and a really nice American Flagship Lounge (which I'll be reviewing soon), but both require international business class flights to qualify for access. There's also a Delta Skyteam Lounge I enjoy. But Chicago could really use a Capital One Lounge or a Chase Sapphire Lounge 🤞🏼

@tonimiller5497 Месяц назад

@@MelsMilesandPoints that’s a shame about Chicago…we actually have Polaris business class tickets when we are transitting through Chicago so hope to visit the Polaris lounge. Never flown Polaris before so it is something we are really looking forward to 😊

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

@@tonimiller5497 you are in luck then! The Polaris lounge is great! I did a review so you might want to check it out if you missed it. I recommend going straight to the dining room to get your name on the list when you arrive. There is often a bit of a wait (but it's usually shorter than they say and they text you when your table is ready). Also - the skillet cookie for dessert is soooo good 🤤😅

@tonimiller5497 Месяц назад

@@MelsMilesandPoints Oooo, sounds great! Thanks for the tips!

@prethivedhilip Месяц назад

Lovely video! Dulles is my nearest international airport, so I found this video especially useful 😊

I love your lounge reviews so this was great! The Air France basement lounge looked depressing and I would have expected better from Virgin Atlantic. Thanks for taking us along!

Such a busy day for your lounge work 😂😂😂. IAD is my home airport, so it’s nice to see you enjoy your time. So far I only had a chance to try Turkish, people love it but when I used it (2019) it was just ok, food was limited at that time so I couldn’t try much. I have tried Chef Geoff’s a few times and it’s not bad at all. No more since Chase cut the restaurant options. Can’t wait to try out Polaris or Etihad this year. What’s your thought between Etihad vs United lounges? Cap1 lounge has an odd location when I first saw it. Watched your recent video about AF and then this AF lounge. Really disappointed to see their quality.

@MelsMilesandPoints Месяц назад

I was definitely hustling that day to get to all the lounges 😅😂 The Etihad/Chase Sapphire was definitely my favorite of all the Priority Pass Lounges. The Polaris and Capital One Lounges were great too, but not Priority Pass. If you get a chance to try Etihad/CS, I'd love to know what you think, so keep me posted! 😄
