How you could get free airport lounge access just by booking your hotel room
ACCESS to an airport lounge is usually a perk just for business and first class passengers but you can get free access too just by booking hotel rooms.
Hotel booking website eBookers.com has a loyalty programme that offers access for up to 200 lounges.
, after booking just four nights in one year through the booking platform, you will get a Lounge Buddy pass through their loyalty program.
It gives you one free lounge visit.
You will have access to lounges across the world including at airports in UK like London Gatwick and London Luton, where food and drinks are served up for free.
Guests who book 12 nights in one year will get a second lounge pass and become a Platinum member.
But it's not the only way you can get access to an airport lounge for free.
Using an American Express credit card can also give you two free lounge visits.
FARE HAUL You get unlimited food and booze in an airport lounge – but are they really worth the extra cash?
The American Express Preferred Rewards Gold credit card includes two free passes with Lounge Club, which has up to 700 lounges available.
However, you need to make sure to cancel the card after making the most of the lounges - otherwise you will have to pay £140 per year.
The first year is free so you can cancel your card for free up until the 11th month.
