Credit cards are more than just a means to pay for things. They offer notable benefits that savvy spenders — and travelers — know to review before even applying for a card. One of those popular perks is access to airport lounges.

Some airline co-branded cards provide access to their own lounges, but travelers can get more options with travel cards that come with Priority Pass membership, which grants access to 1,300 lounges worldwide. Of course, this benefit is most valuable for frequent flyers, but Priority Pass lounges can make the airport experience much more enjoyable even if you travel occasionally.
