Visa cardholders to get free lounge access across Asia if flight is delayed

All eligible Visa cardholders in Asia Pacific will now get instant access to premium airport lounges in the event of flight delays or cancellations.

An enhanced partnership between Collinson, owner and operator of Priority Pass and SmartDelay, and Visa, will allow all Visa cardholders across Asia Pacific access to SmartDelay, Collinson’s airport lounge solution in the case of flight delays or cancellations, with immediate effect.

With the latest flight delay statistics indicating that almost 1 in 5 flights within Asia Pacific are delayed by at least 15 minutes, and with 33 million travellers across the region impacted by flight delays of over 1 hour, there is an increasing need to address travellers’ growing stress and anxiety when they embark on their journeys.
