I found something interesting when I researched various things for a trip to Europe.
Especially these days when you can learn a lot from the internet.
This time, I would like to talk a little about the "Priority Pass" that I have just obtained and have not yet used.
During this trip, I will be using planes a lot.
Priority Pass allows you to use the lounge before boarding, so you can spend your time slowly while drinking drinks and in some cases a simple meal.
I have used this type of lounge when I was working, and in many cases, it mainly serves only beer, drinks, simple snacks, and newspapers and magazines.
I have experience using simple meals at high-level lounges overseas, and I remember that Chinese food was super delicious because I was in Asia.
It's nice to have a lounge with delicious food.
In this trip, I will use an airplane a total of 9 times.
Priority Pass seems to be very valuable.
So, if you check the airport you use, most airports have lounges that you can use with Priority Pass.
In addition, it seems that it can also be used at transit points.
It's nice to be able to use the lounge, especially if you have a long layover.
After checking all the airports I use, I found that I could use it 11 out of 12 times, including the connecting airport.

Priority Pass has three ranks, and it seems that "Prestige Membership" can be used free of charge with unlimited number of times, but the annual membership fee is 469 US dollars (approximately 65,000 yen at 140 yen / dollar conversion).
However, if you create a Rakuten Premium Card with an annual fee of 11,000 yen, you can apply for Priority Pass for prestige members for free.

I talked with a friend who was going with me and decided to make it right away.
It took about a week to create a Rakuten Premium card, and then a week after applying for Priority Pass, both cards were ready.
It's the use from now on, but the trip has become more and more fun.
