How to Sell Airport Lounge Access: A Travel Agent's Guide to Premium Post-Booking Sales
Why Lounge Access Is Your Secret Weapon for High-Value Clients
Business travelers and premium leisure clients will pay $35-$60 per lounge visit for comfort, productivity, and status. Unlike insurance or eSIMs, lounge access signals premium service—elevating your entire agency perception. It's the ultimate "thank you" or "upgrade" to offer your clients after they've booked their main itinerary.
💡 Agent Insight: "Selling lounge access to my corporate clients increased their lifetime value by 22%. They see me as a strategic partner, not just a booker." — Lena K., Executive Travel Solutions
The Visual Contrast: VIP Experience vs. Terminal Reality
Most travelers only realize they need lounge access when they see the long lines at the gate or crowded terminal seating.

Who to Target (and When to Pitch)
✅ High-Conversion Clients:
- Business travelers with >4hr layovers
- First/business class ticket holders
- Clients celebrating milestones (honeymoons, anniversaries)
- Families with young children (quiet space = sanity saver)
❌ Avoid Pitching:
- Budget backpackers on tight schedules
- Clients with airline elite status (they likely have access)
- Very short connections (<2 hours)
Perfect Pitch Timing:
"Your 6-hour layover in Dubai has you covered! I've pre-loaded a Plaza Premium Lounge pass to your Smart Ticket—comfortable seating, showers, and gourmet food while you wait. Tap to secure your spot (only 3 passes left for that terminal today)."
🔥 Pro Tip: Add scarcity ("only 3 passes left") + specific benefits ("showers before your meeting") = 3.2x higher conversion (Flyo A/B test data).
