Minute Suites access is a Priority Pass airport benefit. Members can use a single lounge visit entitlement to visit a Minute Suites location for a one-hour stay. There are also savings after your first hour; for details on additional discounts, please visit Priority Pass Benefits – Minute Suites.

To reserve a suite in advance, visit the Minute Suites website. A minimum stay of at least 1-hour and 15 minutes must be booked in order to reserve online and guarantee suite availability prior to your arrival.
