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.

Purchase a Priority Pass membership

There are three Priority Pass membership tiers available for purchase: Standard, Standard Plus and Prestige. Depending on how often you travel, one option may be better than others:

• Standard: $35 per lounge visit
• Standard Plus: 10 complimentary lounge visits; additional visits cost $35
• Prestige: Unlimited lounge visits (keep in mind that each membership costs its respective annual fee)

Complimentary Priority Pass Select™ Membership with Chase Sapphire Reserve

Priority Pass Select is a membership option that may be available to some customers of U.S. banks or financial institutions as a credit card benefit. If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card, you may enroll for a complimentary membership.

To activate your Priority Pass Select membership, log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards® account. After set-up, you will receive your membership card in the mail and through the Priority Pass app.

Keep in mind that while Priority Pass Select memberships may be complimentary, travel credit cards (like Chase Sapphire Reserve) usually have an annual fee. But if you travel frequently, you may find the travel benefits are worth the fee.
