Changelog
Lounge access changes
Every change to who can get into a lounge, or to the lounge itself, that LoungeIQ has applied or scheduled: network joins and exits, entry-rule corrections, closures, reopenings and new listings. Each entry carries the date it takes effect and the source it came from. Nothing here is inferred; if a change is reported but not yet confirmed by the operator or programme, it is not listed.

Closure
Primeclass Lounge, Zurich (ZRH) T-E: scheduled to close permanently
Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed lists this lounge as closing permanently on 31 Oct 2026. Still open today — this is advance notice, not yet a change to the listing. We'll confirm and retire the listing once the date passes.

Alliance
Asiana leaves Star Alliance
Asiana Airlines leaves Star Alliance at 23:59 KST on 16 December 2026 and joins SkyTeam the next day as part of its merger into Korean Air. Asiana Club Diamond and Diamond Plus members stop qualifying as Star Alliance Gold for lounge entry from that date. The five Asiana-operated lounges and the status catalogue change on the day.

Closure
Marhaba Premium Lounge, Karachi (KHI): scheduled to close permanently

Entry rules
Amex Platinum loses Lufthansa lounge access
The American Express Global Lounge Collection no longer includes Lufthansa lounges after 30 September 2026. The five US Lufthansa lounges that list Amex Platinum carry the rule with an end date, so it disappears from those pages on 1 October without a manual change.

New listing
Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo (JNB): added to the listing
A JNB coverage audit found Virgin Atlantic operates its own Clubhouse at Terminal A (International), mezzanine level — missing from the data entirely. Confirmed by the airport's own lounges page and corroborated by independent lounge reviews; open to Virgin Atlantic Upper Class passengers.
New listing
SAA Cycad Lounge, Johannesburg O.R. Tambo (JNB): added to the listing
A JNB coverage audit found South African Airways operates a separate First/Platinum-tier lounge alongside its already-listed Baobab Premier (Business) lounge, both Terminal A (International). Confirmed by the airport's own lounges page; reported open to SAA Voyager Platinum members and Lufthansa First Class passengers.
New listing
The Club DFW, Dallas Fort Worth (DFW): added to the listing
A DFW coverage audit found this Priority Pass lounge (Terminal D mezzanine, near Gate D27) missing from the data. Accessible via Priority Pass or a paid day pass, regardless of airline or ticket class.
New listing
Aviserv Lounge East, Mumbai (BOM) T2 International Arrivals: added
A genuine coverage gap, not a new opening: Mumbai airport's own current lounge directory names two separate Aviserv facilities at Terminal 2 International Arrivals (West and East). We held only one, unlabelled — renamed it West to match the airport's naming and added the missing East lounge.

Closure
"ITC Hotels Green Lounge", Mumbai (BOM) T2: retired, not a real listing here
Mumbai airport's own current lounge directory names no ITC-branded facility, the row's sole citation was a Priority Pass page that carries no Mumbai content at all, and the real ITC Hotels Green Lounge operates at Delhi (DEL) T3, not Mumbai — this row appears to have been invented by conflating the two airports. Retired.
Entry rules
Wellcome Lounge, Jeddah (JED): dropped from the Priority Pass network
Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed lists this lounge as removed from the network. DragonPass access is unaffected — nothing in that network's own listings suggests a wider change. Priority Pass membership no longer gets you in here.
Network
Aspire Lounge, Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) T5: both Schengen and Non-Schengen sides join Priority Pass
Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed lists both Aspire lounges at Arlanda Terminal 5 (Schengen, E-Pier; Non-Schengen, F-Pier) as newly joined to the network. We already held the Schengen lounge without a Priority Pass grant — added it — and added the Non-Schengen lounge as a new listing.

New listing
Plaza Premium Lounge, Sydney (SYD) T1 — International Arrivals: added
A genuine coverage gap, not a new opening: the airport's own lounge directory and Priority Pass's own current Sydney listing both independently describe two separate Plaza Premium products at Terminal 1 — a Departures lounge (which we already held, now renamed to disambiguate) and an Arrivals lounge inside the Aerotel building. We had only the Departures row. Access via Priority Pass, DragonPass or LoungeKey is confirmed; hours are not yet sourced.
New listing
Hayyak Luxury Lounge, Riyadh (RUH) T5: added
A genuine gap in our data, not a new opening: named separately from the Hayyak Lounge (T3) on Priority Pass's own current Riyadh King Khalid listing, and corroborated as a Terminal 5 facility by an independent guide. Priority Pass access is confirmed; hours and any other network memberships are not yet confirmed — the airport's own site is currently hard-blocked to this routine.
Correction
British Airways Concorde Room, LHR: BA Gold does not grant access
Corrected an overclaim: this lounge's rules previously showed British Airways Club Gold status granting entry in any cabin. oneworld's own page states plainly that BA's Concorde lounges are not included in the general oneworld lounge access policy at all — Gold members use Galleries First instead, a different lounge. Real access is a same-day BA First class ticket, or oneworld Emerald status on a long-haul British Airways flight.
New listing
Delhi (DEL): 5 Encalm-branded facilities added
A coverage audit against the airport's own directory found 5 genuine Encalm-family gaps: a Terminal 2 Domestic lounge, an Encalm Privé at Terminal 1 Domestic (alongside the existing Terminal 3 Privé), a first-class Encalm Xenia lounge at Terminal 3, and paid transit nap/shower rooms at Terminal 3 Arrivals (domestic and international).

Correction
Delhi (DEL): 5 non-existent lounge listings removed
A coverage audit found 5 listings with no supporting evidence anywhere — including a listing named after DreamFolks, an access-network operator rather than a physical lounge, and a hotel bar mistakenly captured as an airport lounge. Priority Pass's own current Delhi listing (6 lounges, all genuine) does not include any of them.
New listing
Houston IAH: USO Lounge added, two phantom listings and the British Airways lounge retired
A free, military-ID-only USO Lounge in Terminal D was missing and is now listed, from the USO's own site. Two listings that no source supports were retired ("M Lounge" and "The Executive Lounge" — Priority Pass's own IAH roster names only four venues at the airport and neither is one). British Airways' own lounge is also retired: the airline no longer operates a dedicated space at IAH and its passengers now use the third-party Executive Club.
Entry rules
IAH Executive Club, Houston: real access rules, not a Priority Pass lounge
This Terminal D lounge (operated by SSP America for Houston Airport System) was listed with a generic Priority-Pass/walk-in/business-class template and an airline field naming "HAS", which is the airport operator, not an airline. The airport's own newsroom states access is restricted to qualifying British Airways, Emirates, and EVA Air passengers only, confirmed by boarding pass — corrected to match; there is no Priority Pass or walk-in option.
Entry rules
Kutaisi (KUT): the real lounge is VISA Business Lounge, not a Georgian Airways facility
The airport's only lounge listing was tagged to Georgian Airways with no source. The airport's own site, corroborated by two independent Georgian news outlets, names the real facility "VISA Business Lounge" — opened 29 May 2026, operated by United Airports of Georgia under a Visa partnership, free for VISA Premium-category cardholders. Renamed and retagged; no source found ever connected Georgian Airways to this space.
Opening hours
British Airways Galleries First, Heathrow T5: corrected closing time
British Airways' own lounges page states 05:00-22:30 daily; the listing's stale 05:00-22:00 is corrected to match. Access rules (oneworld Emerald +1 guest, First class on BA or any oneworld partner) were independently reconfirmed unchanged.
Opening
Aspire Lounge, Vilnius Airport (VNO): now open
Announced with no opening date since August, this lounge has actually opened: Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed lists it as having joined the network on 10 Sep 2026. Priority Pass access is confirmed; DragonPass and day-pass access are not yet confirmed. The neighbouring Luxe by Aspire lounge is not named on Priority Pass's list and is still treated as not yet open.
Reopening
Plaza Premium Lounge Zone A, Taipei Taoyuan T2: reopened
Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed reports this lounge re-opened 10 September 2026 after a renovation; its own per-lounge detail page shows it live with no renovation notice. Hours corrected from a stale "24 hours" to 05:00-23:00 daily.
Entry rules
Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles Gold: SkyTeam Elite, not Elite Plus
Vietnam Airlines' own tier-benefits page states Lotusmiles Gold carries SkyTeam Elite recognition, not Elite Plus — Elite Plus is Platinum-only. The status catalogue had granted Gold members SkyTeam Elite Plus, which would have wrongly unlocked SkyTeam-Elite-Plus-gated lounges.

New listing
Sleepover Doha North Node, Hamad Airport: added
A Priority Pass-exclusive overnight nap-pod facility opposite Gate C40 in the Main Terminal, open 20:00-08:00. Confirmed genuinely open (not just newly joined the network) via Priority Pass's own lounge-detail page.
Airport
Sydney: Terminal Transfer Bus is landside, not airside
Sydney Airport's own site states the Terminal Transfer Bus between T1 and T2/T3 picks up from the Arrivals level of each terminal — landside, not airside as LoungeIQ's model previously recorded — and runs every 15 minutes (05:30-22:30), not 30. The practical answer is unchanged (no lounge in another terminal is reachable on a departure), but the bus description is corrected.
Opening hours
Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Washington Dulles: new hours from 8 September
Priority Pass's lounge updates page reports the lounge's hours changed to 09:00 to 18:00 daily from 8 September 2026, corroborated by Priority Pass's own lounge-detail page. The listing's badly stale previous hours (3:00 PM to 11:00 PM) are corrected to match.
Airport
Heathrow: every terminal is its own security area
Heathrow's own connections FAQ states that everyone boarding a new flight must clear security again, and that the Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 walkway is landside. LoungeIQ's reachability model for LHR previously treated T2 and T3 as one airside area with a bus between clusters; it now treats each terminal as a separate airside area (Terminal 5's satellites stay together).
Entry rules
TIAT Lounge, Haneda Terminal 3: Priority Pass only between 01:00 and 05:00
Haneda's own credit-card lounge page and Priority Pass's own lounge page agree that Priority Pass entry is accepted only from 01:00 to 05:00 daily. The listing had claimed unrestricted access and is now limited to that window.
Network
Karibuni Lounge, Entebbe: Priority Pass access removed
Priority Pass's own lounge-updates feed reports this lounge is no longer part of the programme. DragonPass and walk-in day-pass access are unaffected.
Opening hours
The Club at LIM (Domestic), Lima: now open 24 hours
Priority Pass's lounge updates page reports the lounge's hours revised to 24 hours daily from 6 September 2026, up from 03:00-23:30.
Opening
Chase Sapphire Lounge LAX: not yet open
Chase's own lounge locator lists Los Angeles under "Coming Soon", not among its open locations. The listing had shown the lounge as open with entry rules; it is now marked not yet open with no rules, in Tom Bradley International Terminal, until Chase confirms an opening.
New listing
Plaza Premium First, Bangkok Suvarnabhumi: opened
Plaza Premium Group's own press release confirms two new lounges opened 1 September 2026 in Concourse G near Gate G1: a 98-guest standard lounge and a 51-guest "Plaza Premium First". Only the First lounge is added here — it has no plausible match among the airport's existing Plaza Premium rows; the standard lounge needs a dedicated pass to work out which of two existing generically-sourced rows it corresponds to before merging.
Entry rules
Air France Lounge, Frankfurt: moved to Terminal 3, joins Priority Pass
Air France's own lounge page confirms the lounge is now in the Schengen zone of Terminal 3, level 5, open daily 05:00 to 21:30, replacing the Terminal 2 lounge. Priority Pass's own roster lists it as joining the network on 31 August 2026 with a three-hour maximum stay. Business-class, Flying Blue and SkyTeam eligibility is not stated on Air France's page and is shown as unconfirmed rather than assumed.
Entry rules
PS LAX: no longer accepts Priority Pass or DragonPass
The private terminal formerly known as The Private Suite is reservation-only, with per-visit fees of US$1,095 to $4,850 on its own site, and is not included with Priority Pass, DragonPass or any membership. The listing had granted both networks and now states the fee-only rule.
New listing
Dubai: two Marhaba lounges added, three listings retired
Marhaba Lounge Terminal 2 and Marhaba Lounge Terminal 3 Concourse B were missing and are now listed, confirmed on Dubai Airports' and Marhaba's own sites. Three listings that no source supports were retired: a Finnair lounge at Terminal 3 (Finnair flies from Terminal 1 and has no lounge of its own), "Dubai iLounge T3", and an Emirates lounge at Terminal 2, a terminal Emirates does not use.

JFK Chelsea and Soho lounges: First Class and oneworld Emerald only
Both listings had copied the Greenwich Lounge's broader rule admitting oneworld business class and Sapphire. oneworld's own lounge finder states Chelsea is not part of the oneworld lounge access policy at all, and both lounges admit First Class passengers and Emerald members on a same-day AA or BA flight. The rules are narrowed accordingly.
