Which lounges do I get access to?

LoungeKey™ Airport Lounge Access opens the door to more than 1,100 lounges located at over 500 airports. When planning your trip, you can check the lounge availability via the links listed above or by using the LoungeKey™ App.

Is there a limit on the number of lounge visits?

It's unlimited.

Can I bring a guest?

Obsidian, Icy White, Frosted Rose Gold cardholders may access the lounge free of charge together with one guest. Additional guests will incur a fee of USD $32 per guest.

Jade Green and Royal Indigo cardholders may bring guests upon paying a fee of USD 32 per guest. Cardholders will be charged within 3 - 7 days after visiting the lounge.

Is my lounge access free of charge?

Yes, but please be aware that the airport lounge will need to put the following amount on hold to check if your Crypto.com Visa Card is valid therefore do ensure you have enough balance on the card.

CRO cardholder only: USD $3.25
CRO cardholder with guest(s): USD $32 x (number of guests accompanied)
(e.g. cardholder with 3 guests = USD $32 x 3 = USD $96)

The held funds will be released within thirty days from the transaction date or converted into a settlement transaction for bringing a guest(s).

Also keep in mind, that in order to validate your card, you will need to enable international transactions in the Crypto.com App (a slider in the Card tab).

If your card can't be validated at the lounge (error when swiping the card), two possible reasons are usually:

Not having enough funds on the Crypto.com Visa Card
Not having international transactions enabled

Note: Any pre-authorization amount charged by LoungeKey will be released back to your card account in USD within 30 days. For cardholders holding a Singapore-issued SGD card (both Singapore residents and non-Singapore residents), the amount will be released back to your USD purse in USD within 30 days.

What can I expect at the lounge?

Airport lounges may offer different benefits and conditions during your stay. Some of them are located on the “Landside” (before the security/passport checkpoints), others on the “Airside” (past the security/passport checkpoints). Some are available in Departure Halls, others in Arrival. Larger airports may have multiple lounges available for our cardholders, located in different terminals.

Please make sure to check the lounge availability, conditions, and location via your LoungeKey™ app when planning your trip!
